So guys what are the things that keeps you awake late at night?

Depressed, Busy, Happy or anything at all just tell me what makes you fight your need to sleep or at least what keeps you awake.

Nothing in particular PREVENTS me from sleeping, I just never want to. Or at least, my body tells me it doesn't want to. I have a bad habit of using the computer and playing games for hours... Bright lights + Darkness is not only bad for your eyes, but keeps me awake at night. Maybe it's addiction to the computer/games? Or maybe it's me fearing to sleep for the fear of tomorrow's tasks? All I know is that playing games at night could be considered procrastinating - Because tomorrow won't be another day where I can just relax, watch anime, and play games all day.

Love, ambitions, doubts, fears, happiness, sadness, the future, life.

>>1 Awesome thread idea by the way :3

This is an interesting question. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ Hehe...

I think, i can't sleep because usually i prevent to think about things i've done while studying, i guess when i went to sleep, it just pop up somehow and i found myself trying to make a better option. Like if only i didn't do that.. or something. It's quite bothering. w(￣_￣;w)

My family actually has a long history of anxiety and depression issues, which has always made my sleep patterns rather wonkey. In most cases, it's rather easy to ignore when there's something else around to focus my mind on, but when I try to go to sleep it leaves me alone with my thoughts.

I've actually gotten serious migraines from the things I think about while trying to get to sleep.

I tend to stay up really late because of my bad habit of doing things I feel like I haven't done, especially for games or watching videos. Sometimes, i would think about what I did the current day before I go to sleep, and usually stay up until I faint, which is around 4:00 am. Sometimes, i would sleep a lot earlier though.

Iv'e been awake lately because of this swelling in my left ear due to me picking at it too much.It doesn't hurt a lot...just enough to keep me awake.
I can rest,but can't fall asleep.
I'll close my eyes,but not dream.
I'm taking ear drop medicine,an so far the pain in my left ear has softened,but still not enough to fully relax at night.
I feel like it's some little curse that won't go away no matter what I do!The more I move or shake my head,the more it hurts...even at rest I can still feel it throbbing on the inside!An if I try an touch it'll become more irritated...
its been about 4 an a half days so far,I just hope this unrelenting pain will stop sooner or later! :/

Gravity, magnetism, energy, light, heat...

None of them make any sense and it angers me.

Good question.
I think about a lot of cliche, trivial things, like "what's the meaning of life?" I can't really help myself.

I just have insomnia for no reason...

I masturbate till I fall asleep, yaoi all the way!!!!!!

>>12 awesome.

Whenever I'm given a project I would go over board with the whole thing, I don't know why but it is just in my manner to pass something worth looking at also I was not the guy who would pass something for the sake of passing but I would do it for my own reasons . Because of this I would start making a project that would take me hours to make. I would procrastinate most of the time and would basically be more busy in thinking of an idea rather than making itself, but It's no problem for me because I'm good enough with my hands to make something fast once I'm into it.

so to I'm gonna share
I once volunteered for this video editing project and gosh was it Hard! I had to work with my crappy computer which made making one itty bitty video into hell on earth. So hours passed and it was already pass midnight when I was finishing up with the project and guess what my delightful computer just decided to shut down on me deleting my work and corrupting some memory and at this point I was ready to surrender to sleep but because of my stupid brain wanting to finish the damn video I had to do it at home then make it on the spot. The video was a success! After that I am left with my already dropping eyes and other work to do. So yeah
I sacrificed 15 hours of not sleeping for a 5 minute video,sounds preeeety smart right?

When I was little. I used to have extreme behavioral problems. It was very difficult for me to suppress my anger.

So since the age of five, I've always been in therapy to help suppress the anger I feel inside.

If you took a look at me today or had a conversation with me, I would seem like one of the calmest people ever.

However I am still just as angry.

I've recently started having lucid dreams. In the these dreams, I'm usually always falling out of the sky for some reason and spinning really fast. After about 9 or 10 spins I begin to take control over what goes on in the dream.

I like to visit Los Angeles in my dreams. There I begin smashing my body through buildings, cars, and people. It's like I want to destroy everything. Next thing you know my body starts to change. My skin starts to turn black, I grow a tail, and two horns. By this time the adrenaline becomes difficult to suppress.

I wake up, unable to tell the difference between what is real and what is fake. I'll take my hand and try to destroy a wall or door that's in front of me. And then I will snap out of it.

I just can't sleep. Maybe it's my unnatural caffeine intake, or maybe it's my daily life and problems. But I just lay there and think, think, think.
