Random Thoughts 2: ok, more like misc. thoughts

Primary School is made up of Infants (4-7) and Juniors (7-11).

Secondary School is made up of the Lower School (11-14) and the Upper School (14-16/18). Some people leave at 16 to go to work or a different college or something, and some stay on for Sixth Form.

That's how it works at my schools anyways. Smile

Secondary School is great but I'm under a lot of pressure now and there are numerous other things that come with growing up that haven't been too great (so poor). And I can't do the whole getting up to get to school, staying awake through school thing. I have to say I'd have loved to have stayed in Primary School for another 3 or 4 years. Pinching_eyes_2

Well getting up early is pretty much how the real world works (Western). If I did not get up to go to my part-time job on time , I would get fired really fast. However if you do work in some parts of Asia, and the middle east the workday does begin later, but end later as well.(not by much however)
Well, I have no problem staying asleep. I have terrible insomnia lmao
I know but I still spend 2-3 lessons asleep and tend to nap at random times. I'm so doomed.

Try talking to a doctor about a sleeping pill, specifically Restoril (temazepam) 15 mg. I tried the 30 mg at first, but I was knocked out all day. The 15 mg works wonders for me. No grogginess ^^
I'm pretty much doomed with the way I'm doing my home-schooling now...

I hate Geometry.

The world revolves around medicine. The only "drug" (illegal substance) I use is marijuana. I'm prescribed xanax and restoril. I was giving Rocky a suggestion. I've tried about eight different sleeping pills with no success, and the only one that has worked is restoril.
I dunno if that'll help much.......I think I'm just lazy. ^^;

Actually I don't sleep much at night. It takes me a while to get to sleep because I get bored with lying there and end up listening to music, playing on my DS and checking emails and stuff on my phone. And then I have to get up early so on a typical weekday I end up with about 4-5 hours sleep. Unhappy

I guess it could help with that.....but my parents probably wouldn't be too happy with me taking sleeping pills. They'd just tell me to go to bed earlier or something.....

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I can't swallow pills. XD

I have chronic onset insomnia, which is you have trouble falling asleep and it happens every night. Onset insomnia is quite common in teenagers, due to stress and the like. Your brain has trouble turning off. If you want a non-prescribed drug method you could work out, take melatonin (over the counter in the US), chew valerian root, or meditate. Also, don't watch TV in your room or play video games. It wires your brain to think that it's for activity, not sleep. Never, ever play a game before sleeping. You'll be up even longer from the direct light and intensity. If anything play Brain Age on low light for a few minutes. Or read a book with low light.
Holy carp Rick Astley is on my TV singing Never Gonna give you up.

Bahahahahahahahah is it on VH1 Classic?
I have this problem where every single night, without fail, I'll go to sleep, any time, and wake up between the time of 4-5 AM and then not be able to get back to sleep for another hour or so, so I'm really tired during the day....

Chronic Middle Insomnia, a 30mg restoril would be better for you. Or trazedone. Or working out
Lol. My alarms are set for that time anyways. I guess you're just a morning person. :\ Mayeb you should go to bed earlier?

And Evan, I actually know that playing games and stuff is not helping me (though I didn't know about the roots and stuff) but I can't stop. I'm kinda addicted. Pinching_eyes_2

Brain Age Sudoku my friend, Sudoku
But I like Sudoku. I don't think it'll make me drowsy - I'll just want to complete the page or something. XD Actually, I've been playing Piceoss a lot lately which is similiar and it does make me drowsy, just not enough that I have to stop playing - I always end up forcing myself to do that one more puzzle. ^^;

carp did we derail this thread? I was trying to be good as well.......Crying

It's random thoughts, it's all good.

Well, Sudoku is hypnotizing to me. Anything that's hypnotizing (normally puzzle games) and strains your brain should work. It'll tire you out.

I got a warning for it before. Unhappy
How can you derail a random thoughts thread?

That's my random though.
