Fun With Insomnia Blog

The cause may seem self evident, but by in large I disagree with your premise. The appeal to this insomniac is a place to let you mind race in the hopes that it will idle down. Oddly enough I’ll also assert some of the crappiest diners also have some of the best coffee, burnt to perfection at times, genuinely quality stuff much less frequently but it does happen. It’s not the coffee keeping me up, it’s everything else I was thinking about before I even considered the destination. Meeting people and discussing ideas is not only good intra personal practice, on occasion you even meet that perfect stranger that just changes your perception of reality. scratch that, more frequently than not. Weather for the good, bad or indifferent at the very least it’s a good place to people watch and self evaluate. On occasion it’s actually relieved my insomnia, either by way of burning out my neurons by way of over stimulation (coffee and or conversation), or by allowing me to self actualize whatever the hell is bothering me. But don’t take my word for it, give it a go yourself next time you run into a bout. It’s either that or smack as far as I’m concerned… just kidding… maybe…

I suppose you could do that who clinical evaluation, “therapy”, head drugs, blah, blah, etc. but if you didn’t know I’m not the biggest fan. It has it’s place for those with genuine physiological problems, but for the mass majority of us I think it’s our own actions, reactions, attitudes and the like that may even cause some of those physiological issues. If it hasn’t got to that point … it is in fact all in your head. Think about it.

It’s amazing how many pills we as a nation ingest, my fellow insomniacs being part of the problem. I do so assert that it’s a problem because the quality of life enjoyed by Asian Monks seems, at least from a distance, to be much higher. The human race has survived for thousands of years without this wonderful cacophony of manufactured drugs and daily boosts of vitamins and the like. Why do we feel the need to pop pills? It’s the pillz effect I believe or the placebo effect. Countless studies have proven that people who think they are being treated for an illness indeed feel better, if not actually are better than when they began the study. What does this mean? I believe it may simply be a testament to the lack of care, TLC or sense of being important that is part of our culture today. Ego is well defined and is being found to be an essential part of our mental health, which appears to translate directly to our physical health.

In short, take a few pillz in your daily life and see how many fewer pills you think you need. It’s vital to feed you ego regularly, take pride in yourself, smell the roses, enjoy the small things as these directly translate to a longer and more enjoyable stay on this earth. The orient has had this little gem down for some time, isolated tribes still have it down, until we come along with all of our pills to screw it up. In my humble opinion.

Bill O’Reilly is anything but no-spin. I enjoy the guy just because he is much more fair and balanced than many other right wing nut-jobs that claim to be. He did a great interview with Obama here before the election which I do respect, but the slant with which he attacks some of the issues he chooses to comment on is undeniable.

I must say, the way he frames things to make a point is rather excellent, as with most talking heads but similarly disingenuous. In his most recent column O’Reilly states that Obama’s pole numbers have steadily risen since the economic meltdown. This was true until recently when Obama’s lead has dropped from as high as 8 points to as low as 3 depending on the pole, but the column is indeed dated after this most recent decline in margin.

The rest of the article is spot on save a few points of conjecture, but this is just one example of how the talking heads skew their arguments. The best lie is 99.99% truth and the spinners are masters of this fact. Like I say, at least his percentage is that high.

The point here is simply to remind listeners and voters alike to check the facts when they find themselves agreeing with any of these propagandists just a little too much. This goes for the left as well as the right.

I apologize for waxing political, but this stuff does keep me up at night. I’m not an insomniac entirely by choice and I worry about the future of our country when these spin masters are influencing the vast majority of public opinion.

Sleep During the Day and Work During The Night
By Lance Winslow Platinum Quality Author

Not everyone who works by night is indeed an insomniac. Some people just like to work at night, without the distractions of the day, hustle and bustle and urgency of the moment. Many night-time workers get quite a bit done on projects that without working thru the night they might never be able to accomplish you see?

Circadian Rhythm is an interesting topic in that regard. Circadian Rhythm being your bodies natural energy flows. Recently in our online think tank this subject came up. Knowing that often I will work through the night someone asked me if I personally was an insomniac.

No, I am not an insomniac, just often like to work opposite hours is all. Humans are somewhat of a nuisance at times; very distracting species in fact. I am sure if you thought about it much you might also agree. So do consider this

Sleeping for me comes naturally and is fine, but if you do not stay up all night thinking of this stuff, then how are you going to be able to come up with all the great creative innovations? I always mention that to folks who ask me;

“What do you do all night stay up and think of this stuff?”

I just say YES and ask them why they don’t. Not everyone works by day, in fact Alexander the Great often worked all night and slept until noon. Circadian Rhythm is an interesting thing really. You need it for your immune system, but at the same time, turning it off once in a while might allow for some cool things. Of course sound travels at night too right?

So if someone in your house is a light sleeper then indeed, there can be issues and as they say; “echoes in the night.” I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
