Insomnia

Insomnia is when you can't sleep even thought it is time for sleep and you desperately want to be sleeping (more or less, look it up on wikipedia if you want a "better" definition). And apparently, it is one of the many side effects of law school attendance. This probably has something to do with the stress, increased coffee/alcohol intake, long nights spent studying/writing etc., etc. Regardless of the cause, insomnia completely sucks, but I do occasionally get some extra work done when I can't sleep (which is good, because I have plenty to do). And maybe I'll even get to class on time today since I have been awake since 5:45am (but probably not).

    I have insomnia bad too. I was up until 4 AM last night, and then up again at 8:30. For me, it's definitely coffee related, but if I don't have a coffee around 4 in the afternoon I inevitably fall asleep, and then I'm up all night anyway.

    Yeah, I suppose you can't really call the chronic inability to sleep "insomnia" until you've seen a doctor. You never know--it could be narcolepsy :P

    When I worked at a camp for disabled people, I learned that the medical establishment has recently annexed the term "anxiety." So if a retarded camper is visibly agitated, humming loudly, pacing and pulling his hair out, you're not allowed to call it "anxiety." (Or "retarded," for that matter.)

    Also, you can't say "urinate" or "defecate." The hip new verb is "void," probably due to the fact that most senior personal care workers are illiterate idiots who can't spell "urinate" or "defecate."

    I used to have difficulty falling asleep until I got a cat. Her purring always knocks me out. I think it basically drowns outside noise.
