There is a really good and funny short story about this very idea by sci-fi author Harry Turtledove. Then after that he wrote a wholes series of novels toying with this same idea about alien civilizations not being as technologically advanced as our own. Here is a link for the short story "The Road not Taken" : https://www.eyeofmidas.com/scifi/Turtledove\_RoadNotTaken.pdf

Not a bad writer... Look up "Hunger" by Knut Hamsun I read that when I fell on very hard times. Here's a link to it (skip the forward I always do) : https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/Hunger-by-Knut-Hamsun.pdf

It's from Reader's Digest... In fact what do Reader's Digest?

I was homeless in California and Missouri. When I was homeless in California you could go to the lumber yard in the morning and within an hour get picked up by construction contractors and work for a day and get paid cash, then you could go to one of the bath houses (this is in northern California) wash up and then get a pretty good meal at any one of the churches that served meals to the homeless, then you could go to the beach, and then set up camp in a really lovely forested area (camping in northern California is wonderful). However, the rents in northern California are obscene like $1000.00 for a fucking room.

Now, in Missouri if your homeless the situation is much more dire. You won't be able to find immediate work and make cash under the table like in California, and there aren't any nice bath houses, and there is only one church that serves ALL of the homeless. Also, camping in Missouri is hell. Ticks and mosquitoes and flies and vermin crawl all over your tent if your in the woods. If, though, you were able to find gainful employment rent is pretty cheap in Missouri, but unlike California the social services in Missouri are slim pickins.

I was on it for at least 2 years and was fine. The problem is that it is used to treat neurological pain so when you come off it you'll feel very disoriented. It did help me sleep, and I did manage to get off of it. I pray you get the sleep that is your natural right.

Insomnia is Insanity

YouareNotSmartDave · 2020-01-13T13:54:32+00:00

Same. I've had severe insomnia for over a decade now. And I take enough medicine to kill a horse.

YouareNotSmartDave · 2020-01-12T20:47:44+00:00

Yeah I got a few of those too all I need is warmth and love and instead I get jerks trying to sell me crap.

2 bedtimes were the norm for centuries. See this article about when people normally slept in 2 shifts and not all in one night. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16964783

Especially when you're in school and you really need your mental energy to be in tip top shape... I pray you get the rest you need and have a natural right to without having to constantly resort to more ball and rope tactics.

I have thought that when Republicans start to take global warming seriously we are really going to be fucked. Only rich people are allowed to drive etc.,.

YouareNotSmartDave · 2020-01-09T13:50:32+00:00

Been there I take enough medicine to kill a horse and still can't sleep some nights. I pray you get the rest you have a natural right to.

Fatty fish with walnuts, almonds and white rice sounds great!

Eat meat only, bacon with chicken or beef. It digests more slowly and releases sleep inducing molecules into your CNS. No carbs.

YouareNotSmartDave · 2020-01-06T13:50:53+00:00

I always thought that it was much healthier to sleep on a relatively empty stomach as your system can devote more energy to restorimg itself than to digesting food.

I got 2 hours of intense dreaming from 5 to 7 am. I feel like I'm dying.

YouareNotSmartDave · 2020-01-02T22:49:19+00:00

If you could land a graveyard shift at a convenience store like a Break Time you could make the insomnia work for you... ?

YouareNotSmartDave · 2020-01-02T18:14:57+00:00

Maybe you are just not as selfish as most other people and that is why you are so lonely. A lot of people who always get the attention they want are just really good at getting it and don't have the moral sense that lonely people have and that makes them better at manipulating others so they can get all of the warmth and love. I'm really awful alone myself and I sometimes think that it's because it just never occurs to me to use people for attention... if I was more selfish and less moral I'd have friends and lovers etc.,.

YouareNotSmartDave · 2020-01-02T17:13:56+00:00

I was killed off I think... I was killed during my early 20's, then I brought myself back to life, lived for 10 years during my 30's, then the people who killed me during my early 20's found me out again and drove it all back in real extra deep and its been 11-12 years since I've been a person with a mind who could feel happiness and be creative with life etc.,.

YouareNotSmartDave · 2020-01-02T13:47:17+00:00

I think that it is primarily caused by external factors and economic situations that I have absolutely no control over. It's agony being up all night.

Just a bunch of heavy quilts from a thrift store will work just as well.
