:D

LMAO........................you two are pretty much the same...............on here anyway :p

This isn't name your ideal fantasy...

I wanted to keep it real life!

So, really Hap, what do you like doing in the morning?

;)

LMAO!!!!!!!! hey urg, I think she has us figured out!!!! :D

damn, i hate being transparent :)

When I wake up, not GET UP, just WAKE up...I spend maybe 30 minutes to an hour lying in various positions - none of them really quite comfortable enough to get back to sleep, and when I finally decide I really need to take a piss, I get up and do so...I mean, after a walk to the bathroom.
I always wake up feeling pretty congested due do my slightly deviated septum, my mouth gets very dry and my nose is usually blocked on one side...I brush my teeth than I usually have a hot drink, tea or coffee which fixes the congestion up somewhat, and I sit in front of the pc, sometimes posting, sometimes playing runescape, sometimes playing emulated games while drinking my drink.
I'll usually play music on the pc or watch the news while doing this. Within a couple of hours, I'll yknow do whatever household shit needs doing, have a shower...at the moment I'm not working or studying til later in the year, so throughout the rest of the day, I might do some cooking (which I love), some sets of weights when I feel like it, take a long walk and a bike ride...trying to be a bit more active for my own good health..., watch some movies, play games, hang out, occasionally get stoned, water my plants, feed the animals, spend a little time with them here and there and just....do nothing.
Eat intermittantly, stay up late...that's about it.
I mean sure, I DO go out, and do shopping occasionally...
That's pretty much it.

Is there anything that you can do about your nose getting blocked of a night? Waking up each morning with a dry mouth because of a partially blocked nose would send me crazy.

A little while ago I was living with my mother and had a cold\flu and was going to use a nasal spray before bed to clear my nose. But I had ran out. The panic that overtook me was weird. I HAD to get nasal spray and spent the next 40 minutes driving from service station to service station trying to find some so I could sleep easy and sleep well.

Yes, there is something I can do...have a septoplasty. Vod will be able to explain that wonderful process to you, I believe he's had it done.
Nasal sprays are usually in three groups, the decongestant, the "kinda" steriod based ones, and the saline solution ones.

The decongestants (such as vicks) are usually over the counter ones, and should only be used very short term (eg: 3-4 days), for colds...etc, as prolonged use can lead to dependance, and eventually it loses it's effect allgtogether, I've had this happen, and it took about 2 months to correct itself.

The ones with steroid type ingredients take a while to start working, and can be used for slightly longer periods. They basically "shrink" the inside of your nasal canal, making the passage "clearer"...prolonged (4 weeks plus) use can lead to nosebleeds, and a feeling of soreness and tightness/pressure around the nose. Sure, you breathe clearly, but it's annoying. I prefer using this to the standard decongestant. Most are script only, but there is a good one that's quite mild available over the counter called ?rhinocort?...
All the same, it's annoying as you can only use it every so often, and not for a great period of time.

The saline solution ones are just that - saltwater, more or less...they work incredibly for some people, kind of like when you swim at the beach and all kindsa junk pours outta your nose? I think that's the idea. However, the seawater does it a lot better, in my case, these sprays do not work.

I find chemists own brands of cold and flu tablets work very well if taken regularly, but then tend to keep you awake, as most of them contain slightly larger amounts of ephedrine/pseudoephedrine (!ZING!) than the "off the shelf" stuff...I've actually found they help me concentrate, but that's because I have strange chemistry going on...so be warned, they DO keep you awake..,

I've had a friend who had a septoplasty that claims he's never had a breathing problem since...so, it looks like that will be the eventual outcome for me...

Gee, it seems that there are relatively few chemical options for such an anoying condition. I suppose your sinuses are quite a sensitive part of the body that can only be treated for so long with decongestants before the delicate balance tips and you nasal passages become too dry or congested again.

Well I hope you don't have to wait too long to get the septoplasty done.

Btw - gotta love that pseudoephedrine zing! lol.

i have the mornings of a drunk ... without the benifit of drinking ..
I wake up every day with a hangover .. so it seems.

A bad headache, aching joints ...

I dont get enough sleep which is probably the problem.

So .. i get up before the alarm .. go downstairs and have cereal while reading. Then i come here to take a fast peak at whatever madness ensued from the night before.
Then I shower, hang out with my kid, get him ready, drive him to daycare and get my ass to work.

this is my only ritualistic thing.. (the cereal/reading)

Reading a book on Paul Verhoeven right now - its pretty interesting.

Crap!!! A headache each morning?!? Do you drink enough water?? I have heard headaches are a sign of dehydration. Do you drink alot of caffeine? Is that why you can't sleep?

Can I ask more questions?

Anyway- I don't have a sleep patern at the moment (well, for the last year). I have to sleep when I can get sleep and that was alot this weekend. I just finished a 7am to 3pm shift on Friday and will be starting an 11pm to 7am shift tomorrow night. There seems to be no flow to our roster this cycle. I will do the 11-7am shift for a week, have the weekend to recover and then I will be on a different shift. It sucks!!

i probably dont drink enough water .. i try to but i forget ..
I dont take in any caffeine that i know of .. i dont drink coffee or tea and if we drink pop its caffeine free...
If i get it in any other way it'll be trace amounts ..

I just cant stay in bed for more than 6 hours .. my back starts to bug me ..


re. shiftwork .. i did it for about 10 years ...
some guys seem to adapt to it .. but its really hard on you ... our genetic code tells us to be up in the day - sleep at night .. this is what our eyes are made for.
shiftwork flies in the face of what we are and i think it takes years off of our lives.

i could never sleep worth a damn in the day .. i needed 100% darkness and no noise ... I would use a big floor fan to provide white noise... even in winter

for a long time i did what you did .. the swing shift .. days, then afternoons, then evenings.
It almost killed me

:(

I know it has killed my social life - that fragment of a social life that I once had.

btw - what is your "cack" that bugs you?

oh jesus !! hahahahaha
talk about an unfortunate typo ...

I meant Back !

(i fixed it, thanks ! hahahahaha)

I dont see many mornings actually haha. I tend to wake in the afternoon around 3pm due to a bad sleep routine. Going to bed around 4 or 5 am doesn't help. I think working at night got me into that but I always liked being awake at night.

I dont get the horrible hang overs due to I dont drink. I hate it literally. I feel like absolute shit. And its too expensive hehe.

Ok, so after I do get up, I make sure B makes me a tea , how lucky am I.

Im not lazy, I do my share of house work, and when I get cleaning I can't seem to stop, I went nuts the other day. Cleaned the animals, the bedroom, the back balcony, did some gardnening and then the bathroom. I can start cleaning at 4am . Its madness haha.

I dont have a normal routine. I dont want a damm routine. Im very happy the way it is.
Orright. Im lazy haha.

I sleep alot when its hot. It just gets to me. I sleep until it gets cold. I really can't stand the heat here. Tho when I woke up today it was great. I was awaken by thunder and lightnin. Wish it was all the time.

Lets see what else do I do. I make sure I listen to music everyday. I just gotta listen to music otherwise my day aint complete.


And come to think of it, I dont drink enough water either.

Mornings. I hate em.

you don't have to go to work. lucky you.

I set my alarm at night for 6am. I spend an hour in the morning pressing snooze until I get so mad at it I throw it, then I realize it's 7. I have to be at work at 7:30. So I scrammble around for 15 minutes, then I go to work. I usually don't get any breakfast until 10 am, therefor I am a crabby kid untl then. I do this every single morning. This isn't what I want to do, but it's what I do.:(

Haha! I do the 'snooze' think too!! There have been days after working the night shift that I try to force myself back into the 'normal' routine of sleeping at night and waking sometime in the morning, so I set my alarm for 10ish. But when the alarm actually goes off there have been days when I have hit the snooze button every 9 minutes for 2 hours.

The weird thing is when I do wake up, I don't remember hitting the snooze button that many times.

ah the snooze button. i can find it in the dark while half asleep. i am so not a morning person. i must wake up in stages.

yeah, I actually set 2 alarms and have someone call me. He gets pissed because i do that "call me back in five minutes" thing like 15 times before I ever even wake up.

i have a distrust of people who hop right outof bed when the alarm goes off.

I used to be able to do that when I started work at the same time each day. Sometimes I would wake up before the alarm.

*sigh* those were the days.

that would be me ... and i dont drink tea or coffee either.


to be honest .. hop is being a bit generous ... if i played a sport the day before .. i kind of fall out ..

but that hitting the snooze button nonsense is for the birds ..
what other tortures do you like ?

I usually hit the snooze button once unless I have to pee real bad.

Normally I like to start the day by pulling the head off it, if there's no-one else there to do it for me.

Hats off to all those who already said this, but I can't be arsed to check through the thread.

good thing you mentioned you were from the UK .. i don't know how we'd have guessed otherwise :D

Nope.... I think that you were the only one that said this.

...well the only one that admitted it at least. :p

Pee--and lay back down for a munute or two.

Snooze button. What the hell is that haha.. I use the alarm on my phone. So when it goes off I turn it off and reset is again haha..

As for the peeing and going back to bed, always a good idea. Feels so gooood...

I have a snooze on my phone alarm, if I didn't I'd just say fuck it and get up rather spend the time to reset it. Maybe I should look into a new phone, then I maye actually get to work on time:p

What she said.....but i hate sundays.....so a Saturday then....

Re: Mornings - what do you like doing?
 

..call the cops on my asshole neighbors,and tease their mean dickhead dog on the way out the door.

What I said?? I am a guy. :(
