I can't stop yawning

[MissHoneychurch]

I am at work since 1 1/2 hours. It is 9.30am. I don't know why I keep yawning. I am yawning while I type this. I want back in my bed

[In_The_Wind]

1. you spent too much time daydreaming

about your date ...

[MissHoneychurch]

6. hey that is a secret

at least not known in the Lounge ... till now


How you doing today?

[In_The_Wind]

15. I didn't give away any of the details!

I'm still sick but I feel better than I did 24 hours ago.

[MissHoneychurch]

19. glad to hear you are feeling a bit better

and I an most def glad you are not blowing out the details of my date

[In_The_Wind]

23. nope - not me

I'm not going to tell about who you kiss...

[gmoney]

2. Isn't work where we...

...rest up for our busy weekends?

Isn't there some cozy place in the stacks or something where you can go take a quick 20-minute "Powernap"? Those can help enormously.

Other people might say to get up and move around to wake yourself up, but that seems unnecessarily risky.

Have a good day and a great weekend!

[MissHoneychurch]

7. I just made myself a pot of tea

I hope that helps ....

walking around? What are you? nutz? ... LOL

You have a good weekend too. is there another photo shooting up?

[gmoney]

32. Possibly...

The term is "photo shoot" my dear... "photo shooting up" is something else entirely, I think.

Photo shoot is unlikely, but there's a music festival and Octoberfest this weekend, so I may venture out to one or both of those, camera in hand.

Yeah, I knew that walking around idea wouldn't thrill you too much... it is a radical notion.

[MissHoneychurch]

34. you see, if I would be walking around

I wouldn't be able to answer you

thanks for correcting. See, even my English is still asleep. Not so sure about my German though.

[Tom Kitten]

3. oh my...

I was just about to start yawning until I felt that familiar magnetic attraction myself...It's 12:45 am here, looks like I'm 15 hours behind...

[MissHoneychurch]

9. 15 hours?

I thought you are only 9 hours behind.

And I am happy my magnet is still working

[Tom Kitten]

16. sorry for the discrepancy!

I guess I just have six on my mind and like to think positive...

[MissHoneychurch]

18. 6 hours ahead of the east coast

9 hours ahead of the west coast.

I like that you think positive. And do you have six or s*x on your mind (don't want to get that thread locked).

[Tom Kitten]

24. well what do you think?

would I be so interesting if all I thought of was six all the time?

[MissHoneychurch]

29. of course not

I am glad it isn't all you are thinking of. And I would be disappointed if you ONLY thought about it. Esp. when I am not there

[Omphaloskepsis]

14. Eugene is sporting a yawn too..

What part of Portland are you in? I Did 23rd and Upshur for a while. And Greeley and Killingsworth for a few years. PCC Cascade.

[Tom Kitten]

36. I work near 26th and Vaughn!

I'm sure there is a lot of territory we have in common!

[Graf Orlok]

4. I've been up for 32 straight hours and counting...

[MissHoneychurch]

10. ouch

are you doing this on purpose or are you just not able to sleep? That sucks man, I am amazed you are still able to type

[Graf Orlok]

11. I just can't sleep.

And I don't know why.

[MissHoneychurch]

22. oh man, that sucks

does that happen often or just once in a while?

[crispini]

25. Tense, probably.

Do you have some nice chamomile tea? That stuff rocks.

Get some exercise about 4 - 5 hours before going to bed, too, that helps. And knock off the caffeine starting about then too.

If you have insomnia as a matter of course you should look into meditation or self-hypnosis. I used to have awful insomnia. I'm better now, mostly. Although I don't know why I'm up now. Yes, I do, I ate WAY too much for dinner and it woke me up.

[Graf Orlok]

27. The caffeine thing...

That's all I've been living on all day. I think all my blood in my body was replaced by Mountain Dew.

[crispini]

30. Yep, that'll do it.

If you wanna go to sleep at 10 you should start knocking off that stuff about 5 or 6. And a cup of chamomile before bed will sort of "train" you to start relaxing.

Chocolate has caffeine, too. I once ate an entire bar of dark chocolate really late in the day and man was I WIRED!

[MissHoneychurch]

33. now that explains it

Saturday I drank 1 1/2 litres coke during the day. I am not used to coffein anymore (no coffee, no black tea at the moment, rarely a coke). I finally was able to sleep at 6am.

[enigmatic]

5. Me too

This day took more out of me than I thought; I may have to crash soon..

[MissHoneychurch]

12. you are allowed to be yawning

it is late for you. But I just got up only 3 hours ago. I shouldn't be that tired. Went to bed around midnight, so I actually had enough sleep.

[enigmatic]

20. But I'm supposed to be a nite-owl

I usually get my second wind about now, but not tonight!

[MissHoneychurch]

26. guess your body tells you that he needs the rest

better sleep than maybe catching something, like a cold.

[enigmatic]

28. I think the thing it's telling me

That I'm not as young as I used to be, which sucks

[Bobby_Miller]

8. 9:30 a.m.?

Are you in Europe? It's only close to 4 a.m. here.

Anyway, I still wish you could curl up in your bed. Work sucks, usually.

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Yes I am one of the Europeans here

you will find out soon who the others are

Welcome to DU, hope you enjoy your stay with us

[Robeson]

17. Did you sleep in a bed last night that had a pea underneath it....

...because that would explain it all....

[MissHoneychurch]

21. I slept in my bed

but a pea .... I changed my bedclothes last weekend and I don't eat in bed .... hmmmm .... no idea how a pea could sneak in my bed ..... unless you placed it there while I wasn't home ... that must be it

[Robeson]

31. Actually, I was being sappy sweet.....

...because the old saying is, if one places a pea underneath the mattress of a princess, then she will feel it, and have an awful night of sleep. Knowing who you are, I just assumed that's what happened to you...

[MissHoneychurch]

35. But wasn't the "Princess on the Pea"

or however this fairy tale is called in English a spoiled brat? Not sure I wanna be compared to her

But if you didn't mean it like that .... thank you for the compliment
