I can't get no sleep...

[motorollin]

I'm going on holiday on Saturday, and as always when I'm going away, I'm coming down with a cold with just days to get over it :-( I really need a good night's sleep, but I can't get a wink in this bloody heat. The clock has just ticked over to 00:00 and I'm pulling my hair out  :pissed:

Sorry, just need to rant!

I couldn't sleep last night...when I did I had nightmares.

Bloody humid summer!

[motorollin]

I hate the summer. It's too hot. But then, I also hate the winter because it's too dark. I think we should edit spring to make it longer :-)

I think I must have reverse seasonal affective disorder, cos it's only summer I hate.
 Not just the heat, but cos I know there'll be another bloody wasp nest somewhere around the house, and they always come into the bedroom in the early hours. It's quite strange really, the sound of one little wasp can wake me up and get me running around the room trying to find that damn aerosol can, but when my alarm goes off in the morning I can sleep right through it.(actually it's 'them', I need 2 alarms :lol: )

Dunno where the thunderstorms went that we were supposed to have tonight,  I was hoping it'd cool things down a bit, but I'm back to relying on an 18" desk fan beside the bed to stop me melting.

Anyway, hope you get over your cold and have a good holiday :pint:

Add me to the list of summer haters.

One of the worst things is when after opening every bloody window, switching on the fan, chucking the covers off the bed in order to have a remote chance of sleeping. suddenly waking up to find that it's 4am and it's suddenly droped from 25 degrees to 3 and you're freaking freezing.

Hmm, I'm an insomniac.  I've slept about 2 hours (total) in the last three days.  I've got to finish writing a thesis this morning.  I'm tired.

I hate winter.  For a few years, I was travelling to North China during my summer.  I had 5 winters in a row, with no summer.  In Australia, I'm used to 40+ degrees C.  I quite like a day of around 42-45.  Shorts, singlet, hat: it's comfortable, and convenient.  In China, at around -40C, everything sucks.  I got frostbite!  That's really painful.  I always get sick.  You have to wear two layers of thermals, your normal clothes, a couple of jumpers, beanie, scarf, uber gloves, and a feather coat that's like carrying a quilt around.  As soon as you get inside wearing that gear, you sweat just like squeezing a wet sponge.  Then it's a race to get those rediculus clothes off.  Damn, that's annoying.

Five dark, cold seasons in a row is really depressing for the mood.

Give me sunshine.  Give me heat!

P.S.  Perth winters are actually pretty sunny half the time, but it's still too cold for me.

If you "can't get no sleep" that's good because it's a double-negative meaning you get sleep. It would be much worse if you could "get no sleep". ;-)

I just got back from a 16 hour plane flight and it is impossible for me to sleep sitting up. I have to lie down flat and have silence, a fan going, no light and no interruptions for me to sleep. So I just went about 40 hours without sleeping.

It's funny hearing about wasps in the house. A couple years ago I lived on a farm and every year around the same date a swarm of honey bees managed to get into the house by squeezing through the cracks. It's damn scary hearing loud buzzing and suddenly seeing 50 bees hanging off your dining room curtains. I've also had a bat in the kitchen, a blackbird in my bedroom and an entire herd of sheep in my garage. (seriously!)

You know that counting sheep thing doesn't actually require real sheep.

You know the super-clichéd image of someone trying to sleep by counting sheep jumping over a fence one by one? I actually saw the exact image in real life at my house. There was a wood fence and all the sheep were jumping over it one by one ...and of course I counted. (who wouldn't?) I then got very tired... :-D

I know what you [d]want[/d] mean....

but 00:00 isn't that late is it? Or am I just too much a student?

[jkirk]

that is the thing about summer. in winter you can wear heavier or more clothes but in summer you can't take enough off to be comfortable.

Perhaps it was a wet dream?

Yeah, you better hide! ;-)

Seriously, I don't know where all those stories come from about people screwing sheep. Mention sheep to anyone these days and they joke about sex with one. Have you ever looked at a sheep closely? They're pretty dirty and anyone thinking of screwing one must be one sick freak. Besides, sheep scare easily so I doubt anyone would be able to get close enough to screw one. I have heard news stories though of people in Africa screwing goats to avoid AIDS - even multiple guys sharing the same goat. I pity those poor goats.

It seems you've never been to Wales or Yorkshire then! :lol:
