1) Routinely stay up waay past 1? (1..scoff..amatuers)

Not any more....well not too often. In the past I worked graveyard shift for 13 years....I've done my duty!

2)Think nothing of some wildly inappropriate snack at 3 am?

Or anytime....sure....cold pizza for breakfast....yummy! See number 1 as to why.

3) Or before creeping into bed.. just before the sky lights up signaling you that you stoically shirked sleep, do you swear "tomorrow night I'll sleep"

Sure, I do that even if I'm only late to be by an hour.

4) Does the constant math of .."If I go to bed at 2 I'll get x hours of sleep ..which steadily melts into well, ok now it's a quarter after, so if I go to bed at X instead, I'll get x hours of sleep. Which dissolves into a short nap followed by once again swearing "tomorrow night I'll sleep"

Yep.

5) Do you you have a uniform of some unmatched comfortable clothes, a fuzzy robe and perhaps matching socks, perhaps not?

Sweatpants and a 6X shirt from when I was 400 lbs, now at 250.

6) Do you hear from friends, family "don't you sleep?" "What do you do all night?"Followed by your blank stare, a sly grin and a search for a cup of coffee..let' em guess.....

I just growl at 'em.

7) Are you uber familiar with the sounds only heard at night..the fridge which seems to get louder as the minutes go by, the heat coming up, the house settling, cats fighting outside..your increasing yawns..

Yeah....especially water heaters and AC units.

8) Feel oddly like kin to those wierd infomercial people?

Naw, I'm wierder than they are.

9) Feel like a bull in a china shop as every step you take to the loo etc sounds like a herd of cattle in the night no matter how hard you try to be quiet?

Funny those cat-like reflexes.....

10) Have strange revelations? "Gee I never realized the toilet paper, fridge door, my computer fan was so loud?

See my answer to number 7

11) Have people you see (you know..those bleary shadows that think nothing of bugging you at say the ungodly hour of 10:30) who ask why your tv is set to closed captioning when your hearing is just fine?

What's closed captioning???....I just use the mute button and headphones.

Hospital??? :rolleyes:

We never meant to be cryptic. Liam has a case of RSV which has caused him to contract a mild case of pneumonia. He's been on oxygen and medication since Sunday night, and as anyone who has stayed at a hospital over many days can tell you, they forget that people need sleep.

Ugh, having a little trouble sleeping tonight. More like afraid to. I dealt with a bad migraine earlier. I finally got rid of it, but now I'm dealing with some fun anxiety issues. Damn these hormones! Granted, things are so much better than before, these fun feelings don't happen as often as before, but it's still sucky when it does hit. :P
