Okay I know the basic meaning of Insomnia is that you cannot sleep, but what exactly makes this happen. I never quite understood the concept of it, would anyone like to enlighten me? :unaware:

Insomnia may be caused by an excess of chemicals in the body (such as caffeine), heartburn, severe pain, or even heart attack or stroke. In some cases, severe mental distress causes it, and some hyperactivity disorders can play a role in insomnia.

Don't confuse insomnia with sleeplessness, Phil. Sleeplessness has to happen repeatedly over a long period of time for someone to be diagnosed with insomnia.

Yeah... You need to get off the computer quickly, and into bed ASAP, if that's the case. I'm assuming that you're not exaggerating. You can die from lack of sleep, you know.

Yes I know, but I'm not even feeling tired, my eyes are wide open :/ I'll catch up on some sleep if possible soon, thanks for the information and warnings! and no I am not exagerating, that would be kinda pointless...

I'm actually surprised that you stayed up this long. Get some sleep anyway, ok? And if this continues, make sure to only sleep in your bedroom, and do nothing else there, if possible. And don't do work on your bed, or play games and sit on your bed, or anything like that. You need to put it into your mind that when you lay down on a bed, you are required to go to sleep.

Heheh, thanks, Phil. Hey, if I don't respond when you post here, go ahead and send me a PM, because a lot of the time I don't follow up on threads that I'm a major factor in, really. And I'd be glad to know how you're doing!

That depends on what you're referring to as dope. Some drugs are uppers, which make you hyper, and others are downers, or depressants, which make you drowsy and unaware. All of these medications are unsafe and under no circumstances should be used to treat any medical condition.

EDIT: I mean the illegal ones... :S
