Are Your Teens Getting Junk Sleep?
I thought I'd post this here, because since I got my own computer 3 weeks ago my usual routine has really gone downhill. I have had terrible insomnia, can't sleep at night, and my ass is going to be kicked on Monday when school starts. I need to get my ass in gear!
We don't have TV, it's the stupid computer. Hopefully my love affair with it will soon balance out. Quote:

The best advice I can give you is to set a daily time limit for computer use, and stick to it. There's more to life than surfing the web, but it can be addictive for some people. Another option is to set a nightly cut-off time, probably about 10 pm. It's also best not to have the pc in your bedroom.

I know, I know, I know. See, what I know to do and what I actually do, are sometimes 2 different things.
My poor parents. They trust me with a little bit of responsibilty and I go and overwhelm myself. That's part of my motivation right there.

Point taken.
But I think I have a nice little page. It's good to keep up with a few friends who have moved away.

Kids are taught from an early age that material things are what can make them happy. They're taught to believe that *stuff* is more important than people or knowledge. Take that belief away, or better yet, don't let them learn that in the first place..and you have happier, less distracted, and better behaved children.

Oh, please don't get me wrong, it's not my parents fault at all. I've just gotten myself so backwards with my sleep over the last part of the summer, that now it's catching up with me. I did get some good sleep last night, and made myself get up early this morning, well as early as I'll be getting up when school starts.
My brain has just been overstimulated.

What I usually do on a work night is watch an episode or two of The Simpsons before passing out. I'm the type of person that falls asleep better watching something on tv, well, not exactly tv, I don't have cable, but I get the very few US shows that I do watch via the internet. (the rest are ones from Aus or The UK, which will never air here anyways)
For Dawn, the first week or so, try taking over the counter sleeping pills like "Simply Sleep". Just be careful not to get too reliant on them, or else you won't be able to go to sleep without using them. :-S

she's only fifteen, but she is WAY ahead of the curve, as far as racial loyalty goes. dawn must have good parents.
just try to cut down the computer time until you are back in the habit of going to class everyday |

With school and other activities, I had to ditch the eight hour sleep thing. I sleep in 4 hour periods usually. Took me a week to get in the habit. Now I got it down pat. I've tried sleeping pills/caffeine pills.

I'm fine now, but you know, I always do feel more refreshed after a 20 minute nap, then I do after a night's sleep, when it takes me half an hour to really wake up.

No boys like me. I have no friends! I have a stupid name....... *sigh That's a double Maybe I'll be lucky to accidentally cut my wrists this morning when I'm in the shower. Nice try 'David Greenblatt', your writing style gives you away. I know what my destiny is (as you well know). Thanks for your show of concern over my well-being though! Things are really looking up for me. Say hi to your sister for me! How's her little boy Treyelle doing? Her Baby daddy still not in the picture? Sorry about that. When did you become jewish?? lol! Your avatar is a riot! And 'younger people today'........ You're 17 and are taking a first year psych class in highschool. Last year you were a 'skinbyrd', by this time next year, you'll be sitting in a lecture hall desperately wanting to shave your armpits, reading Our Bodies, or some other garbage. Go get your tube tied now please, because if how your parents raised you is any indicator of how you will raise your own children, then I pity you. That is, if you have kids. Probably you won't, but just in case. I used to really like you Co! The thing is, is that I stayed the same and you are trying to become your Liberal Professor Mother. You will not change my mind about certain things. Our debates were fun, and that's what I kind of liked about you. Constantly butting heads with you. I have disassociated myself with negative feminist influence, and you were top on that list. Actually you were the only thing on that list, so in some way, that makes you partly responsible for me wisening up. I'll give you that much, so thanks! My disgust with your behavior was stronger than my need to keep up with a very tired friendship.
