Are most of us insomniacs???

**Copperli** · 11-10-2014, 10:07 PM

I'm guilty of it. I find myself breaking stuff down late at night. I see a bunch of post at 4am from others on here. Maybe a cooler to help? Just a question how many others are guilty of this?

**Metalbestos** · 11-10-2014, 10:41 PM

Guilty as charged , I find reading makes me sleepy and crying baby's are natures alarm clocks

**Sirscrapalot** · 11-10-2014, 10:45 PM

I sleep...3 maybe 4 hours if lucky.

The rest are just weird or on the west coast.

Sirscrapalot - The cooler is good for many things but not insomnia.

well let's see... go to bed, lay there can't sleep, pull out phone, look on here, read, read, and more read... update finding that there is no more to read & bam fall asleep

**Hypoman** · 11-11-2014, 02:19 AM

SEVER insomnia ......it sucks. But I'm not breaking things down....just laying in bed.....punching myself in the face saying "Why(bam)wont(bam)you(bam)go(bam)to(bam)sleep!!!!! !!(bambambambam). Lol

I can fall asleep whenever needed...but I am usually up at 4am. However can't scrap then or my wife would kill me if I woke her up.

**Scrappah** · 11-11-2014, 05:37 AM

I've been turning in at 7:30 PM and getting up at 3:30 A.M. lately. The time change along with fewer daylight hours is affecting me.

If it keeps up like this it will time to go into winter hibernation soon.

**taterjuice** · 11-11-2014, 06:48 AM

Yep. Pretty hard to go to sleep when I got copper to clean, radiators to prep, etc. I think about scrap so much I've even started dreaming about it when I finally do fall asleep. Pretty sure I'm not alone on that !

**smashing** · 11-11-2014, 06:53 AM

I went through severe bouts of it when I got off of nights. Took me about 10,years to regulate fully

**logansryche** · 11-11-2014, 07:19 AM

yep guilty as charged, I'm usualy up by 10am and usualy up till 10am the next morning. I use to be up no mre then 16 hrs but my body keeps pushing it.
Usualy breaking down e-scrap but lately it's computer work and getting stuff into moving boxes.

**sledge** · 11-11-2014, 07:28 AM

HA! Not me. I hit that pillow at 11:30 and am out like a ROCK until 6:15 the next morning.
Ya know that saying "Ya better eat yer Wheaties?" I eat my Wheaties and rock every day!
Yep I max out every single day between 6:15 AM to 11:30- I go hard and never lay awake thinking.. been doing it all day!
Machine has to charge some time!

**taterjuice** · 11-11-2014, 11:27 AM

before I had a regular job use to do that but I don't have any days to crash now so I usually run from 6-12:00, might even stay up to 3-4 if need be, but don't recover from that as well as I once did so try to be done at 1:00 at the latest for my regular schedule.

**SuperDave** · 11-11-2014, 11:50 AM

If I know my truck is loaded for the morning run, can't seem to sleep. The excitement of making $$$ keeps me up!

**msmoorad** · 11-11-2014, 02:25 PM

GMT+2hrs so my posts might show up at odd hours for u guys

**mikeinreco** · 11-11-2014, 03:18 PM

this may sound boring or nerdy but I put on a documentary of some sort to fall asleep usually

**redcrossnj** · 11-11-2014, 06:24 PM

Lol when i put a documentary on. I usaully end up watching it instead of sleeping

**eesakiwi** · 11-11-2014, 06:27 PM

They say "You learn something new every day"

So, if you are having trouble going to sleep, you probably didn't learn something new that day.

I always get a good sleep after reading scrapmetalforum........

Normally I wake up about 11am, dose the cat and feed it, make a coffee, do whatever, do scrapmetal depending for the rest of the day, then get to the supermarket before it shuts @ 9pm, buy some hot chips etc for tea, use free wifi to check out SMF till 11pm odd. Get home and clean some scrap up, watch dvd or read or such and go to bed.

**ScrapperTrecycling** · 11-12-2014, 10:41 AM

Use to have it so bad, my neighbors thought I was a crackhead. (High stress job complete with nightmares) And then scrapping and the forum came along and everything changed. There's this strange "family" feeling to it all and it lulls me to sleep at night. I actually try to stay awake and think about everything I've learned, all the funny comments and what I'm going to destroy tomorrow but it's like counting sheep. By rights, I should still be having nightmares...especially about the 97 spiders that crawled out of the last weed eater I cracked open, but nope! Coma.

I tend to get tunnel vision for completing a task, which may cost me in being healthy and rested enough for more physical labor, like choosing when to pit in a race.
