Hmm. My girlfriend is 16, I will be sure and ask her next time I see her.

Taxing physical hobby, but that means I have to go outside right?

Naaa that is too young for kids.... find something else....heheh

My daughter was born 1 month before I decided to go back to 2 year tech college. For 2 years I went to school full time, worked full time, and took care of my daughter. When I finished school a year ago my body was so used to 2 hrs of sleep a night that it was near impossible for me to sleep. So I started to force myself to bed by 11pm and eventually I was able to sleep more and more. By 2 months out of school I was able to sleep 6 hrs a night and that is where I am now. Try staying up a little later and cut ALL sugar and caffinee out at least 3 hrs before you go to bed.... at least that is what works for me. If I wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep I turn on my PC and sit in front of the monitor in a dark room.. that makes my eyes nice and tired.. then I go back up stairs and sleep like a baby.....

I read somewhere that the screen refresh rate makes tiny muscles in your eyes move thus causing you to not fall asleep. Go read a book and see what that does for you.

mbeeston · Nov 26, 2003, 08:41 AM

i'll tell you what you doing.. you going to bed before i come over there with a hammer and put you to sleep

Sharkims · Nov 26, 2003, 01:28 PM

Well, here I am again.... So, does a lower refresh rate = sleep faster? lol

Sharkims · Nov 26, 2003, 01:31 PM

Okay screw this!!! I'm going to go lay with my head under a pillow untill I inevitably fall asleep.

The really bad thing is, I have a Network+ 'CompTIA'. Final tomorrow, it cost me $100us and it's at 10am!!!

I must be strange then... staring at a computer screen in a completely dark room (other then the monitor) makes me tired as hell....
