Nexus One Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) I've been staying up late too lately. I used to be an amazing sleeper. I could sleep 12-14 hours per day no problem and I was always an exceptionally well rested individual. However during my high school days I used to stay up late too or not sleep at all in order to study for tests, so studying till 4AM or even 7AM wasn't a rare thing for me to do back then. Except since December 2010, when I got the feeling that I wanted an SO for life, I haven't slept well for even 1 night. I'm not talking about sex drive, that's not what this is, but my body and mind are nagging me big time to chase women and that longterm feeling hasn't been leaving me alone for even 1 day. I've noticed it is starting to wear me down, that's why I want to run so badly, especially during this time in my life, because I need to run everything out of my system or my mind will be racing 24/7 in overdrive. I need that moment right after running when everything in my mind and body feels absolutely calm and serene, it's like resetting myself. However the last few weeks I've been injured at home due to overuse of my knee (running injury). And it has been frustrating me to no end, but tomorrow I'm going to run again. I really hope that knee injury doesn't come back. *crosses fingers* I wonder if I ever get my old carefree sleeping pattern back. Perhaps when I find her, who knows.

zengirl Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Can you have sex at night even if she's not going to bed? She can "tuck you in" so to speak around 10 pm and then get up and do her thing. Or have afternoon or morning sex? My BF and I often do this when we stay at his house. I go to sleep WAY before he does (he's a gamer too, but he's actually up working/writing code most of the time), but he'll come snuggle with me for a bit, tuck me in, have a little fun time, and then get back up either after I fall asleep or as I am, depending on how long a snuggle he wants. Works out well.

I wonder if I ever get my old carefree sleeping pattern back. Perhaps when I find her, who knows. That sounds terrible not to be able to get good sleep for 6+ months. It doesn't seem a fair punishment for wanting a girlfriend. After all, it's not like you are going to find someone in the middle of the night. My BF and I often do this when we stay at his house. I go to sleep WAY before he does (he's a gamer too, but he's actually up working/writing code most of the time), but he'll come snuggle with me for a bit, tuck me in, have a little fun time, and then get back up either after I fall asleep or as I am, depending on how long a snuggle he wants. Works out well. We have a lot in common. He stays up later when we are at his place. He'll go into his office and play games or surf sites like Hacker News. He's a computer programmer too and I can follow his activities on Git Hub if I want. But I have no idea what I'm looking at.
dispatch3d Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Yeah I'd probably ask the guy if anythings been bothering him lately.
Author Cee Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 My boyfriend brought up that he's been sleeping terribly this week in an email. I asked him if he was stressed out about anything. I guess the mystery will be solved soon. As for the mystery of why I didn't bring it up to him myself, I'm kind of nutty that way. I went overboard on respecting his privacy. Next time, I notice him out of bed, I'll ask if he's okay. Some of my behavior does seem to come from having a rage-a-holic as a mom. She used to flip out over everything. I've been trying to break this habit of walking on egg shells around my boyfriend, but it's tough to unlearn. By the way, my boyfriend is gentle and only gets angry when he's listening to Michele Bachmann and other right wing politicos talk.
