Drinking vs sleep

[EGad987]

I can't fall asleep undrunk very well. Or drunk. I've been drinking for about 8 hours and I'm not ready to finish. However if I go to sleep undrunk the only way I can get to sleep is with the pills the VA prescribed me, which give me terrible nightmares and hallucinations. But they test me for drugs and booze when I go in. I never really have drugs in my system, but if there is any booze they want me to do a 40 hour a week rehab program. So I can get more pills that make me feel worse than a few beers. I don't freaking think so. So I sleep when I can. Some times it's 12 hours in a day sometimes it's 20 minutes.

As long as you take care of business why does it matter if you don't get exactly 8 hours of sleep a day?

Are we talking about sleep deprivation or the effects of a hangover? This is my take on it: I sleep more when drinking because of the effects of the hangover. My hangovers are massive tiredness and lack of motivation, so after struggling at work all day I will sleep as soon as I get home something I will not do if no hangover is present. So the bottom line is, for me, drinking makes me sleep more but I am more tired than when abstaining. Now that’s a bad word: ABSTAINING Ahhhhhhhhh

Take a night off if you're feeling the effects. Sleep will take care of itself. Try and kick your boots off before you pass out for additional style points. Passing out ON the bed suggests that you're in control of your drinking.

What if it's the wrong bed?

Drank a lot last night. Hungover at work, went out, wired when I got home so I'm drinking a lot of beers. I will be hungover again at the office tomorrow but I will probably sleep a bit tonight...but i rarely sleep in general. So I hope someone posts a hangover thread tomorrow because I can relate every day..

I don't sleep much, but I enjoy it when I do. My dream is to slide into clean cotton sheets all by myself and sleep for eight uninteruppted hours. Never gonna happen now, but a girl can dream.

Savor the hangover, you worked hard for it

just getting back into regular boozing- I've found an alternating approach works fairly well. One night drink very excessively, without regards to anything. Next day, savor your hangover and have 2-3 drinks to get to sleep. Sleep 9-10 hours, and wake completely refreshed, and ready for more drinking

That's one of the nice things about getting old... 12 beers does the same job just as well.

You're not old. No one should ever drink to sleep, fuck. Drink to not sleep yet, drink to keep the dream alive.

[Savage]

If I ever get old, I rather imagine I shall not sleep at all. I mean, not as I am now, but really not sleep. Sort of like the Platonic ideal I imagined in my childhood: no sleep, no eat, no toilet visits, no sickness, no messy physical entanglements; a life of the mind only.

Then I feel sorry for you Savage. Sleep is the perfect tranquility, the absolute bliss that lies within the real world and the real world. It's a person's time to escape. It's not always the best experience, but that's the gratifying quality. It's always a refreshing adventure.

oh damn. Don't feel sorrry for me, bitch. I enjoy sleep, when I can enjoy it. The dreams are wonderful: the color, the music, the scent, etc. Many is the time I have woken from a dream with a wonderful story in my head. And I like food and drink. But when I was a child, my mother cooked crap. I used to have to sit at the table for hours after dinner, in front of a plate of congealed shit I could not eat.
