Tanukitsune Posted November 5, 2004 He're the the deal, my sister is getting married next week and tomorrow is the bachelor party... The thing is, us guys will stay up all night, and I have to wake up at 5:30 AM to go to work..... So I'll already be tired... I do have all afternoon to sleep, but I have trouble sleeping during the day... It's kinda embarrsing to be a spaniard that can't "siesta", I really need tips on what to do when you want to sleep... Problems: -I'm nervous, I wake up easily and take a lot of time to get back to sleep... -I have an EVIL cat that will probably try to use my head as a pillow while I nap... -Don't say "Try these sleeping pills" or similar, I usually get all the secondary effects...

Roderick Posted November 6, 2004 Siesta's are supposed to be napping times when the sun is so hot that it's impossible to get some work done, right? Well, just let yourself be absorbed by the heat and you'll soon whither. And if you can't go to sleep, well, you don't HAVE to have a siesta you know. Us hardworking Netherlandic folk carry on all day long without a nap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted November 7, 2004 In the end I couldn't really use the advice... My cousin said he'd come with me in the last moment, saying that he'd stop by to drop some stuff he'd need to sleepover.... So I couldn't nap til he arrived, which he didn't, he called two hours later saying he went directy to the "pre-party", which I didn't go to since I was informed at the last minute of it's existence, that and the fact that I needed to nap.... The just went to a pub to drink.... I finally sleeped for less than an hour... using my arm as a "sleep mask"... Bad idea, the pressure did something to my eyes and when I opened them I saw everything blurry even with my glasses, I panicked and couldn't sleep no more... I didn't need to sleep after all, all I needed the magical and mystical powers of 4 Coca-Colas to keep me up all night! It's was at a pirate themed pub (Can you say "ARRRR, me booty"?), where the dinner was barekt passable, working at a bucther's shop I know when the meat the give isn't all that good... That and the fact that working in a butcher's shop all day has made me not like red meat anyway.... Of course there was a stripper, to keep this PG and all, I'll just say that I had "a front row seat" and I had to hold her lightsaber, some Star Wars themed thingie, we even heard the Imperial March in the background... It all went downhill from here.... Since I don't drink or smoke or any of that "cool" stuff... All I could so was drink Coke till my tummy hurt... I did meet intersting people, I met a former KKK member from Virginia, who of course voted for Bush... (Damn, I forgot to ask him if he belonged to the NRA!) Being most of them geeks and fanboys we did have stuff to talk about, if it weren't for the fact that the music was so loud I could barely hear them... I don't know why you "whippersnappers" enjoy this clubbing and stuff, spending all the night drink yourseld silly while getting internal ear bleeding from the music is not my idea of fun.... In the end it wasn't tiredness what made me leave (at 6:30 AM), I just felt incredibly sick..... Either it was the food or the smoke, or the vibrations the music caused to my internal organs, or all of it combined.... It's kinda funny to think I was the illest there, and all the only one who didn't smoke or drink... But not to me... I had to go home, with my cousin, who by the way is the most annoying person in the world when sloshed, plastered and drunk.... He "knew" the way to the nearest subway stop.... Yeah, right! His drunken wandering had us walking for over 30 minutes when the stop was 10 minutes away, we ended up in ANOTHER subway stop.... I finally made it home and got about 5 hours of sleep when I got a call from... MY COUSIN! He, of all person should know better than anyone else what I've been through and that I needed to sleep!!! So here I am, my throat is sore from shouting and smoke, my ears feel funny, my body aches, and I'm in a very bad mood, even though I saw nakedness.... Meh! Hopefully my grumpiness will fade away before the wedding... PS: Too tired, grumpy, moody, etc.... to care to spell check, sorry... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
