I’ve always wondered why “zzz” is the onomatopoeia (thank you spellcheck) for sleeping/snoring. Actual snoring doesn’t sound like “zzz”… but then again, I can’t think of another way to represent that noise.
Anyway, it’s always strange when you stay awake a long time even after going to bed. There was one time (that one time being yesterday, right after 2009 began) where I went to bed at 1AM and didn’t actually fall asleep until 7AM. It’s strange because it’s not like I was excited for the new year or anything like that.
I ended up doing the following in those six hours: staring at my ceiling, playing on my DS, taking out my laptop, realizing that the wireless connection wasn’t working, putting my laptop away, and watching TV. It’s really weird watching the morning news at 5 or 6AM when you know you haven’t slept yet (they were showing footage of people cleaning up Times Square after the New Year’s Eve celebration). Even weirder looking at the clock showing the time as 5AM, with me thinking “I was also here twelve hours ago at 5PM, also awake.” Anyway, yeah. I really hope that never happens again, although it probably will in college.
Also, apparently the site has tags now. And I will start using them (UC and LHC will refer to the daily flash characters)
In college it will happen, a lot.
Insomnia sucks a lot
Try taking sleeping pills or something
Yeah that sometimes happens to me. But I usually watch some TV at bed and after watching a bit I feel tired and fall asleep (turning off the TV first of course).
Ah, insomnia. I’ve never had it myself, except for maybe once or twice. It sucks. Usually I just sit around in my bed, trying to fall asleep, but it just makes the bed really uncomfortably HOT which makes it even harder to fall asleep.
Hehe. UC and LHC.
I just roll around a lot. That helps.
Also, I’m going back and adding tags to ALL the old posts (because I can). This should take awhile.
I always have insomnia. >.< One time, I slept at 12:30 am and couldn’t fall asleep at all. Then I was awake till 12 pm and I still couldn’t get a nice sleep. So I mostly stayed up all day. -.-
I have trouble falling asleep too… my mind keeps me awake with stupid thinking.
I expected a endless loop flash. :o
I have the opposite of insomnia which is…um…I don’t know what it’s called, but I sleep WAY too much.
If you’ve heard snoring like “hnngcccckkk” then you’ll hear a bit of “zzzzzzzz” in it.
My dad does it. I should know.
I sometimes have trouble sleeping. Mostly I just have a horrible sleep-schedule.
snoring might be huuuuuhooooooohuuuuuhoooo[like whispering wind]
I used to have alot of issues with insomnia (still do actually) and I managed to find a mind hax that forces you to sleep. Try focusing on nothing besides your breathing, your heart beat and the circulation of your blood. More specifically try feeling your heart beat in your finger tips, elbow, corner of your jaw, and even try for the legs. If your start focusing on anything else you might have to start over. I was more likely to have lucid dreams this way but otherwise just try to avoid Uboa.
I love sleeping, I probably never stay awake for long.
I’ve got an odd sleeping disorder where my brain thinks that days are 26 hours long, so every night if I sleep normally I get tired two hours later… Then two hours later… It’s fine during normal times, but if I have to do anything it’s hard to explain to someone that I’m probably going to start feeling tired around 1PM or something =P
Also, I will now be completely unable to think of LHC now without thinking of both the Large Hadron Collider and Long-Haired Character simulatenously.
Insomnia, huh?
At first I was waiting for something, that’s why I was always awake. After months waiting, I forgot why or what I had to wait for… and now I can’t sleep. I think I’m still waiting for something, even if I can’t remember what do I wait for. So yeah. It has not been a good day…
I think I have insomnia sometimes.
If the fact I can’t fall asleep until like midnight despite having to be up by like 5 or 6AM for work as insomnia…
What I do is just lay in bed until I feel sleepy.
that also happened to me, it’s horrible
alcohol… always works…
How the heck do these avatars work? I read the post, but it makes no sense. I wanna avatar too. D:
I usually don’t have a problem with insomnia. I tend instead to have a problem with waking up around 6:00 A.M and not being able to get back to sleep. I’ve had it a few times though.
Sign up with Gravatar and once you do, upload an image onto there. From there you can crop it up any way you like and then it’s done. From there you just need to make a blog post and put down the same e-mail you registered with on Gravatar in the e-mail section. It should show up a few minutes later.
In the New Year’s Day I slept at 5AM, but was horrible, I wake up at the 3PM! (and I was still a little sleepy).
@Old World: I’ve been forgetting to do that for lucid dreaming lately. That focus thing works the same way I’ve noticed I (or anyone else) can fall sleep.
It’s just as simple as to stop thinking about anything inside your mind like “Oh, and I did that today, and tomorrow… why are grasshoppers green?…” and just let random images flow inside your mind without thinking about anything in particular (this usually causes me to start imagining dream-like stuff (UBOAA) without being asleep) until your mind relaxes as well as your body, usually without you even noticing, so you won’t even remember at which point you actually fell sleep.
Well and obviously this is harder or easier depending on how tired you are. When I’m extremely tired I can’t even think of anything… I realized that one time I was so sick and tired I thought “Argh, I’m so tired and out of energy, even thinking is tiring.” or something.
But probably this doesn’t help a lot for lucid dreaming unlike the focus technique Old World mentioned, and which I should remember to do more frequently (along with other methods). I just… don’t have that much of a problem to sleep recently.
I’M A KEDAMA (again)
@Pingy: I forgot to say I expected that too! Pajamas Unnamed Character is moe! KEDAMA!
@fubu99
FOE!!…?
also, how do you hyperlink to previous comments?
Hmm… I never tried doing that before. Waking somebody up at night because I can’t sleep making me able to sleep… *goes into an imagination sequence*

Happens to me so often and I feel like I wasted my time. Sometimes I just fall asleep for short periods inbetween though without noticing…
Insomnia… haha, months ago, i had a traumatic experience, and since then i can’t sleep too much… hehe, that’s why i’m posting at 3:50 a.m (spanish hour…)
onomatopoeia is correct. Good job.
Insomnia… I dunno. I rarely sleep at night, what with all the stuff I have to do.
insomnia is AWESOME!!!
If you can keep it long enough, things starts getting interesting. Last week, Lily White visited my room and we had tea…and Hina was there too…spinning as usual… and then Cirno was suppose to visit too but i think she got lost and then ..and…uhh
well…it’s great for artisitic inspiration…plus it’s free
College actually made it much better, I rarely stay up late ‘sept on weekends. The amount of free time is rediculous in college even if you are insane enough to study like 3 hours every single day out of classes.
I read somewhere that reading a book or listening to music (or both) helps to calm your mind down… which helps you get to sleep easier.
Just a thought
ugh lately ive been having insomnia also D:” Sandman is being lazy?
Melatonin works wonders for insomnia, and it’s pretty natural, too.
What about some bubbles? they can work, instead of ZZZ.
Instead of sleeping, I made another installment of Scarlet Weather Archive in Japanese Red! n.n
Insomnia, i’m more like nocturnal. Sleepy all the time at day, hard to sleep at night.
Instead of sleeping I played Guitar Hero!
…
What? Since when do I do anything productive!? I’m not like Muffin who sticks to a schedule of stuff! I just do… When I do.
Also we should call all Touhou 4komas FlanKomas now.
I don’t stick to a schedule either! I make stuff whenever I feel like it! n.n
@Krathar: That’s exactly how I am. xD
How weird, I fell asleep on my computer and woke up just now O_o.
Also sleep is the best, I sleep twice a day, but I also start work at 4am.
Watching stage 3 replays of EoSD, PCB or SA makes me sleepy.
But you at least make something about weekly!
I haven’t done anything productive in uh… A long time. Yes. Long time…
Hooray for insonimia!!!!!
P.S. This is Cirno
Insomnia, i hate it =P one time i woke up at like 3:00 am all like “Why am i awake?!” i just look around my room if anything fell or something, nothing fell, than when i realized, i can’t sleep , i did most of the stuff you did, just not watching tv or pulling out a laptop i don’t have. most of the time i was just looking at the ceiling looking for random patterns.
@thegame: Were you dodging the “patterns”?
@thegame: Wait a second, those aren’t patterns! It’s danmaku!
I hate that too. I remember when I had insomnia I didn’t sleep until 2:30 when I dropped like a dead fly.
RAPID TAP FOR PIERCING FIRE!!!
PRESS SHIFT TO SLOW DOWN FOR PRECISE DODGE!
GRAZE 5349
ｶﾀｶﾀｶﾀｶﾀ
I spend a night’s worth of sleeping staring at the ceiling and it totally kills me during the day. Maybe I should take Old World’s advice.
@SomethingUnreal: And for some reason I don’t feel like it sucks
Who is LHC?
I can only think of the LargeHadronCollider when seeing those letters joined.
also, I don’t like this font that appears when I’m writting THIS, it looks diferent to the font shown on the other comments and is too tall for my tastes.
oh yah, I should start going to sleep early since college will start in a week or so…
I can’t sleep…
U.C. Owen was Her.
That’s what I think of when I see UC.
Insonima by phone!
I like cherry pie!
I have insomnia, but that’s because I’m a vampire.
YAY FOR INSOMNIA!! I HAVE THAT!! annd i’m not joking. It actually has its perks (such as the ability to stay up and do your homeowork and then watch late night show until 5:00 in the morning) but great flash ^^ it doesn’t work like that sometimes though once you’ve had it for most of your life ^^;
