Scratch

antimonyarsenide · 2010-08-16 10:05:56

...yeah.

Lately, it's been really hard getting to sleep because I keep thinking about Scratch and the forums sad

I'm wondering, is there any way to cure this besides not scratching/foruming?

steppenwulf · 2010-08-16 10:16:22

Ummmm... Get addicted to some mmorpg like runescape or some kind of video game?

yikes I have the same problem! But the insomnia might not be because you're thinking about Scratch. If you stay up really late on the computer or tv and then try to go to bed right afterward, you won't be able to go to sleep for a while.

That could be it... hmm

I dunno. But that's what my doctor said the problem was. tongue

Lols, peeps. Read a book before bedtime, about for 30 min, and then count to your breathing. You get bored of counting, and just fall asleep. However, you must keep counting!

No sheep are involved.

And wondering if I can get on at the right time to maximize my chances of getting front paged hmm

I've tried the counting thing. It doesn't work for me. I got to three, and I got bored. tongue

I tried the counting thing too, but I started trying to make equations and stuff after that. And I kept getting distracted. hmm

samurai768 · 2010-08-16 10:40:12

I only do that when I have an idea. Just get a hobby besides scratch, and when you think about scratch, switch to your hobby. Watch the news. Write a short story. Do something to get your mind off scratch. To some people this method works for farmville xD

Hmm. I guess I'll try. Later.

I found quitting farmville surprisingly easy, personally.

I ended up reciting the Fibonacci sequence for two hours! XD

Telemachus · 2010-08-16 11:11:31

I get that too..but then again, I already have insomnia, so it doesn't really count.

I always read before I go to sleep, it doesn't really help. The problem with counting is I get bored, then I start thinking, and no matter what I'm thinking about, it always leads to scratch...

Cool, me too

I know how to get rid of it. If you can't sleep, stay awake for another 24 hours, and by that time, you'll be so tired that you'll fall asleep earlier than you normally would. Of course, it'll screw up your whole day, and if you fall asleep in the middle of the day, it messes up your sleeping pattern

Hmm. I don't think my parents would let me stay awake for 24 hours hmm

JeanTheFox · 2010-08-16 11:48:19

I think it might be possible, I'm up all night 9.9

And apparently Survivorduck gets up at 3 A.M.

You don't have to tell them :p
I always tell my mom I'll go to sleep at 2am, yet I usually stay on past 5am big_smile
