Im going on 3 days of sleep dep myself. I keep trying to crash but I just end up staring at the ceiling for an hour or so till Im so bored I just start plaing my video games.

You must not be getting enough melatonin :-) I'll give you the bottle from last year. That should knock you out right quick :-)

lately I've been having the same problem. for me I think it's a combination of the cold weather with varios stresses that keep my mind going constantly, worring or whatnot. just can't seem to stop my mind from racing when I'm in bed, didn't get to sleep until at least 5am last night.

ended up turning on the TV, putting on an old pair of glasses with an improper perscription (wear contacts) and vegging out until I rolled over and just zonked out. scary, that's how dad gets to bed, with the tv on. I don't wanna turn into him..

*shiver*

maybe a lil long and shoulda been posted to my journal, but, eh. :) I feel your pain.
