In summary: I don't remember what the hearing was about.It was about a zoning change for my neighbor's house. I don't live near them, so it didn't affect me. But I do live near a school, so it might affect future students.In summary, these people are experts on sleep and insomnia. They share their experiences and opinions on the matter.

"The point of public relations slogans like "Support our troops" is that they don't mean anything... That's the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody's going to be against, and everybody's going to be for. Nobody knows what it means, because it doesn't mean anything. Its crucial value is that it diverts your attention from a question that does mean something: Do you support our policy? That's the one you're not allowed to talk about."-Noam Chomsky

Steven Pinker, wrote The Langauge Instinct and How the Mind Works. I thought you might have read them since they deal with linguistics

Doctorate at MIT, under Wheeler and then straight to Los Alamos with Openheimer. No Masters.

Many, Many things. Insomniac daymares for example. Not fun.

I've never had a daydream.

Question: Should I ever admit how long I spent trying to figure out what a daymare is?
 
  • #56
Admitting your problem is the first step to curing it.

I'm off to bed again. See you in 5.

Not at this time of day. I'm debating if its worth it to get two hours of sleep, or just say screw it and power charge through the day on coffee, coffee and more coffee.

I've decided to take the Coffee, Coffee, and more Coffee route.
Too bad I don't drink coffee.

It's 8:05am here. I have trouble wasting time when the sun is up... feeling guilty.
 
  • #65
there is a great on campus coffee shop here, love the place.

This just in: 100% of 3 people have insomnia!

Pollsters conclude: WE need greater participation from the diurnal forum members to draw meaningful conclusiongs.

Insomniacs say : We dominate the forum.

Is the lack of sleep showing yet?
