I Cannot Imagine...
|
Oh, @rhiz: i don't WANT to sleep, I fight it as long as possible... My sleep deprivation is combined insomnia and somniphobia.
If it wasn't for the loss of being able to eat, rarely sleep, and have sex: I would rather live inside a computer. 
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Now it seems to have reached an obsessive plateau. As the the point on overanalysis. I think there is no such thing because you can't stop thinking. It's impossible, without dying. I think you can't analyse too much - only badly. So long as your analysis is constructive and productive, so long as it does more good than bad - then it's worth it. I say ideally the trick is getting it as close to perfect as possible. And whether you wish to engage in that quest. EvF

It's a smallish town Rhiz. Not a city. 2500ish ppl. I used to live in a big city. Everyone around me has always been anal about it - parents, boss, wife.. I just couldn't really care much. There's something about not tempting ppl to do bad... so I lock the car etc. ..If someone could hurt themselves then I feel responsible.

Sae,
You need to sleep, it is good for you. Color is brighter when you get enough sleep, and your mind processes things so much faster. Life is a seratonin halucination and if you deprive yourself of that wonderful drug, cracks will form in reality and you will see the terror that lies beneath! Seriously though, getting a straight 8 can add balance to an insomniacs life. I was hospitalized once because I was afraid to go to sleep. I stayed up for two weeks straight with hardly any food (I thought it was drugged) and I got my water from the shower (I didn't want to be drugged through drink either). At some point you cross a line where reality takes a decided turn towards nightmare... Sleep is good for you. Rhizo

People are different.. some don't need much sleep. I do, I feel pain if I have less than 8 hours. Yesterday I went to bed 5 times caching up on last week!

As I've said, sometimes it can be annoying, but overall it's worth it - I love being more self-aware. I'd hate to be less aware again. And I'm getting more and more use to it. It's repetitive and obsessive, but it's beginning to feel totally comfortable now I think. It's basically becoming the way I think all the time now. I think through thought loops  . My thoughts are bundled. But the necessary analytical ordinary thoughts still slip through when needed - E.G, when I'm playing a RTS game, or playing chess.EvF (September 14, 2009 at 6:20 pm)fr0d0 Wrote: It's a smallish town Rhiz.

I grew up in a small town of 12,000 and we used to leave our back door unlocked as well as the church I went to. The church was burgaled and several computers were, um, "liberated." Henceforth, our family locked everything. After all, if God can't stop burglars from getting into his house, what chance do we have? Rhizo |
