Psych! You thought this was a blog about Insomniac Games, didn't you? Gotcha! So you may as well keep reading as long as you're here.
I'm exhausted. I've been suffering from a major bout of insomnia since last Friday. I was up all night Saturday and Sunday night I didn't get to bed until after 2, and my alarm goes off at 6. This has been going on all week, and I'm actually taking sleeping pills tonight to hopefully finally rest. Right now, I feel like Abe Lincoln when he didn't sleep for like a week straight so he could help Cleopatra study for a standardized test on Clone High.
I say all of this because I haven't been around the site as much as I've wanted to be, and I've gotten behind on some excellent blogs. Also, people have been super kind with my Fixes for Final Fantasy piece and I look forward to responding to all of those comments. I'm also playing through Disgaea 2 for review (long story) and we're prepping for the next episode of Nerds Without Pants. Besides that, I have about 8 other projects in the works for PixlBit, so please look forward to them!
But for now, I hope to play a little bit of Disgaea, take some pills, and fall into sleep. Yay! Sleep is where I'm a viking!
Oh, and when I was trying to find images for my console war editorial I stumbled upon some really random things. This one was by far my favorite:
Seriously, how cool is that? I bet they just got to the part where Kefka breaks the world in FF VI. Because that's totally the face I made.
that's where I'm a viking!
I've had insomnia problems a lot in the past, but not so much in the present. I understand how that will drive you nuts. My advice: warm milk, just a little, before you try to go to bed. It really helps, and you can drink it with sugar free hot chocolate if you can't deal with it straight.
I did think it was about Insomniac Games. Was ready to write a huge rant on Fuse, but that will have to be for another day.
I hope you get the rest you need tonight. Clone High looks it was done by the same company behind Total drama Island.
Nyquil.... I take two nyquil caplets before bed, whether Im sick or not, they usually knock me right out.
I suffer from Insommnia too. So I know what that's like. I hope you get to feeling better Julian!
I've had this problem periodically in life. My trick was I got to where I enjoyed what I woke up to do from 2 - 5 a.m. so my body decided to put a stop to those good times. I hope you snap the pattern soon. It really sucks.
@GrayHaired - they make ZZZQuil now which doesn't have the cough stuff, just the sleep stuff. Might be worth a shot.
Travis....yeah, I remember that now, I have used it also.
Ha Ha! Nice Simpsons reference. Sleep is where I jump real high in coveralls and a yellow towel cape! What was the subject again? Oh yeah, Dragonball Z was a great show lol.
You got me to click, you ho! As you know, my insomniac problems are well documented and I'm even going through it as I type. Gotta be up early. Would you go so far as to say that you're a Lost Viking?
Coincidentally, I saw this picture when I was looking for a picture of George from MGR on the google. I have no idea when it came up, but that's also how surprised I looked.
It's almost 2 AM and I'm still awake. What's this insomnia of which you speak?
Seriously though, Benedryl knocks me cold, but leaves me feeling groggy. So far, the best cure I've found is to find something I'm really interested in watching on Netflix or Hulu Plus, and I usually crash within five to ten minutes. Now, if it's something I don't care about, I'm up all night.
Man I was hoping is was Isomniac so yea you got me lol and by the way try unisom pm you can get it at walgreens helps me sleep good, and im looking forward to your Disgea 2 reveiw I think its an awesome game so I hope you see it my way lol, just kidding Nippon Iichi or NIS is awesome and makes great games which I wish would come to the 360 but thats wishful thinking,anyway im sure I can expect a good reveiw since I know you like srpgs so it will be honest by someone who knows and apreciates srpgs.
Beer works for me. LOL
I can't take things like Nyquil because the ingredient that is supposed to make me drowsy has the opposite effect. Same with cold medications and the like. They make me irritable, uncomfortable and unable to relax.
Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I don't know if it was the ZzzzQuill or just passing out, but I got some rest. I could use more, but I feel much better.
