Okay, who here had at least some trouble falling asleep last night? Check in!
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 07:31 AM by MrWiggles
...Either not being able to sleep right away or not sleeping at all or waking up all night long? I had trouble going to sleep and I woke up pretty early without being able to fall asleep. I probably slept a total of 5 to 6 hours.

I am not worried but I am really excited to go out to vote.

I have the giggles today because I know the drama is finally going to a conclusion and I am optimistic that Obama is going to win tonight!!!

19. I almost felt like doing that...but I figured nothing will be happening
during the day so I may as well go and not be sitting at home getting myself nervous! At least this way I'll go to work, take my mind off of things for a while and then come home right around when the first polls start closing :)

3. Not me. I'm tired from walking so much. But I woke up early, got to the polls
at 6:10 and waited 45 minutes to vote. The largest turnout at my polling place I've ever seen for this early in the a.m. The most African-Americans, by far, I've ever seen in line to vote. A good sign!

9. I had been awake for 21 hours already but still..
it still took me another hour after I lay down to finally sleep.

But I saw Obama in Manassas last night FINALLY so it was worth it :headbang: I finally saw what "FIRED UP! READY TO GO!" is all about!

10. I had a dream (nightmare) that I woke up at 8:00 pm and McCain was ahead in Virginia.

Worst part was that David Gregory was saying it and he was smiling. That'll teach me to sleep.

16. Good morning... I can't find my coffee pot.....
or my legs or my clothes or etc., etc., etc.... Normally I'm pretty organized but I moved yesterday
and I'm so burnt out this morning... *groan* I'm already an hour and a half late to meeting my local
Democratic town leader at the polling place. :( I gotta find that coffee pot and my legs.....

:wtf: On TV, the morans are actually attempting to ask people what it was like VOTING?!?

The polls JUST OPENED 45 mins ago!!! This is going to be a short day.... parties will commence around 9 PM!!

I can feel it!! :P A huge :hug: to my fellow countrywomen and men!! ;)

30. I *never* have insomnia. And while I fell asleep just fine, I woke up at the crack of ass
and couldn't get back to sleep. I feel like a kid on Christmas.

31. Definitely
My wife, who gets home from work between 11:30 and midnight, burst into the bedroom around 12:45 with "Oh my god! Obama won Dixville Notch!"

That was the end of any chance of a good night's sleep!
