[UliHarp]

Hello, everyone. For starters, my name is Ulysses; Uly for short. I'm not quite sure what to say, so I'll start with a little about myself, and then move onto why I'm here on Insomnia Land.

In a nutshell, I'm an aspiring author and an artist of many mediums, primarily comics artistry (at least, at the moment). To pay the bills, I'm a work-at-home admin. assistant and a disc jockey for an entertainment company. Unless I'm out for a job or at a weekly group I attend in my town, I'm fairly reserved and spend most my time holed up in my home. A cloister, if you will; my friends and family like to call me that. But certainly not unfriendly or unsociable, otherwise I wouldn't do the work I do. My passions (writing, art) simply demand a quiet, solitary setting.

My habit of being stuck at home most the time is part of why I first sought out Insomnia Land. I live with someone, but most of the time I'm up and roaming, he's asleep. This is true for all my friends and family. I have episodes of insomnia as regular as the seasons, and when I am able to sleep, it seems the only time I can is during the day. It's frustrating: no matter how hard I try, I'm either battling my circadian rhythm or battling to get a wink of shut-eye. Paired with my reclusive lifestyle, it makes for stressful, lonely days. Stressful in many ways: one being that I'm afraid to go about my routine for fear of waking my roommate or neighbors, another that it's hard to sync with the outside world. Still, those are just trivial reasons: it's mostly stressful for the simple fact that I have the episodes. It's lonely for the fact that everyone I know sleeps when I don't. Each night I lie awake, I think of my loved ones all slumbering, without a single thought running through their heads while mine buzz about. Thoughts that I can't share with them the moment they cross me, things I imagine they'd enjoy; the more nights I spend like this, the more alienated I feel from everything around me. Which I why I turn to the wonderful, all-hours open place the internet is, and thus Insomnia Land.

I'm ashamed to say I joined a while ago, but never introduced myself. At the time of joining, I had just ended a bout of insomnia and begun a new relationship. For a while, I loosely adhered to normal sleep schedules (sleep by night, rise by day) and considered myself having overcome my sleep problems. As for Insomnia Land, I didn't think I needed it anymore, but kept it as a bookmark, just in case. Needless to say, that was a good idea. I've underwent several bouts since, and had trouble keeping up with normal patterns since. Widening this retrospection, I could say that I've always been neglectful toward myself when it comes to mental/health issues. As much as I hate to admit, I'm a kind of person who often marches into a therapist's office, confident and ready to get help, and then after short time, slinks out in shame for having brought my problems to light. If not for a notification email telling me to post or have my membership terminated, I reckon I'd never be here, addressing my issues. It was a good slap to the face; I need to stop denying my resources and accept help. That being said, I apologize for my inactivity on this site, and need to be more involved with both being a part of the insomniac community and with facing my problems.

Also, forgive me for the length of this introduction; I tend to ramble! I type quickly, so what seems a page to one feels a paragraph to me.

I hope everyone is having a good night/day; until next time (which I assure you, will be prompt).

Hi Uly and Welcome. Thanks for sharing so much about yourself. I hope you find some useful and helpful information contained in these pages. I look forward to your future contributions to the forum.

When I joined this group, I had never met another insomniac so didn't know if there were any common links between sufferers. However the more I read from the members here, it appears to me that intelligent, creative thinkers are more prone to insomnia. I suppose it makes sense that your mind will be more active and your imagination more easily stimulated if you fall into this category.

I don't know if this observation is in any way useful in the eternal quest for a few decent nights sleep, but maybe knowing you're smart enough to be an insomniac is some kind of “consolation prize”! Hehe.

What do you think??? Martin? Anyone??

Hi Uly

Firstly, welcome to Insomnia Land and thank you for introducing yourself. Please don't apologize for the length of your introduction – it was perfect, and was just how we like introductions to be; it helps us really get to know every new member. Your profile is great, too! Thank you.

I love the artwork on your website – it's fantastic. Oh, and hopefully we'll see the Insomnia Land blog in your next Google Reader post 😉

Baron has a blog where he sketches some comic strips. You might get a kick out of it:

http://boyanddog.com/

There's no brand new stuff there at the moment due to a computer failure, but the archives are good!

We have members here who suffer with cyclical insomnia, and others who just can't get any sleep – so you are not alone. I am glad you dragged yourself over here, and I look forward to getting to know you better and reading more of your posts in the future.

This is something new for you, so if you need any help using the site or have any questions, just drop me a line – you have my email address, or you can click the envelope icon under my name to send me a personal message.

I definitely think there's something to this, Dozydame – I even mentioned it on the blog in early March:

http://www.insomnialand.com/blog/insomnia-and-the-creative-mind/

It's one of the reasons why we started the Writer's Corner here at Insomnia Land. Normally, such a small community doesn't warrant an additional forum category, but it worked here. Having said that though, it's been rather quiet in there lately. Writer's block perhaps?

That being said, now we have Uly on board, maybe we should make it a general 'Art' corner so members can also submit pictures and sketches?

Thank you for the warm welcome; I hope, now that I've “dragged myself” to Insomnia Land, that I'll both learn from and be involved with the community.

I can't say what exactly led me to Insomnia Land, only that I must have stumbled upon while researching insomnia/sleep disorders sometime. I'm a bit of a dork that way- I like to research everything- but I'm not complaining. You learn a lot that way! I too have noticed, in reading up on the subject(s), that creative thinkers are more prone to sleep problems. Or at least, that's how it seems is presented many times. It makes a lot of sense to me, that people with easily stimulated imaginations would be more prone; I know that when I start a painting or get into my writing, time just seems not to exist. It's difficult to stop once started, when on track with something creative. Many times I've gotten up and out of bed to jot down ideas because I couldn't stand the thought of losing them. Similarly, many times I simply lie in bed, just thinking and thinking about my book; every now and then I catch myself having spent an hour just brainstorming in bed. The best I can describe it is like a second wind; I lie down, tired, but then suddenly I get an idea and my mind just sprints along to develop it at once.

And actually, I do think this observation is useful; if there were a way to “turn off” the gears (I pray you follow this metaphor! Haha.), then I'd imagine there wouldn't be anything keeping like minds up. Hmm…

Well, thank you again for the welcome, and I hope you have a wonderful day. Until next time!

Thank you for the welcoming message; I'm so glad I did “drag myself” back to this site. 🙂 Also, it's good to know that my rambling isn't all that bad! I type fast, so I easily mistake a page for a paragraph, so to speak. Oh, and before I forget, I'm shocked and pleasantly surprised that you took the time out of your day to actually visit my art page! I always put it out for others to see, but I never really expect anyone but friends and family to visit it. It truly means a lot that you like it; I can't thank you enough for such immediate support (and on things unrelated to sleeps issues, nonetheless). And yes, I'll have to include Insomnia Land on the next pie chart- goodness knows my Google Reader grows each week- the one I did is already outdated! (laughs)

It's also nice to hear that members here have varying sleep problems; some cyclical, some chronic, etc. I felt somewhat bad, first coming here, knowing I do get sleep at times. I'd imagined only chronic insomniacs here for some reason. The fact that there is a spectrum is very comforting.

I'm also excited to hear that there's a “Writer's Corner”; had I known earlier, I doubt I would have been able to resist! I suppose I have much more in common with members of this community than expected, that member you said had a comics page included. Already, I feel much more at ease here. I feel like my introduction was a bit… serious? While I don't mind being serious, I do think I need to let my lighter side shine more often outside my comics. I can tell I'm already starting to loosen up; for one, there are four exclamation points throughout this paragraph, including an emoticon and bracketed laugh. Already making progress! (Five.)

Well, enough rambling for now; I'm impatient to see this “Writer's Corner”. Hearing it's been rather tranquil there, perhaps I'll stir up the settled sand?

Thank you again for everything; I hope you have a wonderful day. Until next time! (Six! Seven?) Alright, so proves that I'm in a good mood today.

We're a small but close community, so of course I wanted to take a look at your blog!

We have a wide range of members, from hardcore insomniacs to those who struggle from time to time. All are welcome, and are encouraged to get involved.

Good luck rekindling the writer's corner. Maybe we should rename it to an arts corner and encourage sketches, etc, too? What do you think?

Hi Uly,

You sound just like me, head wakes up when the sun goes down! haha. I often end up writing loads of stuff down during the night and coming back to it in the morning! I have never been a great talker but I have recently discovered how much I love writing! So far, my insomnia has inspired me to write letters of complaint to my Neurology consultant in charge of my MS and David Cameron!! I was fed up of feeling like a failure because my head and body seemed to be unable to coexist! My head would be awake when my body wanted to rest but my head wanted to rest when I needed to physically do things like doctors appointments etc.

I sat for about a week just writing the letters, always after midnight! It helped clear my head a little! I started to be able to sleep a little bit better but I'm starting to struggle again so I'm going to write another letter to David Cameron! My neurologist did actually reply but Mr Cameron didn't so I have more things to say to him! Haha. It might be petty but I would love to be able to write books, I have so many ideas but my MS makes it hard to just live day to day without stressing myself out about finishing a book or anything!!

Most of the ideas I have are common sense applied to politics with references to philosophy, religion and entertainment but I wouldn't have a clue where to start and I tend to ramble a LOT so any book I did write would probably make as much sense as this reply does!

Hope that rambling on here helps you crack your sleep problems!! It is a great way to get things out of your head and one less thing to buzz through it while the rest of the world sleeps!!

I think turning it into a general arts corner would make artists and writers of unconventional/varying mediums more inclined to contribute and visit. The words “writer's corner” can be a little intimidating; I know I still bite my nails each time I enter an online writer's niche. Also, including every medium seems only fair. I'd be surprised if people weren't willing to share sketches, etc. in a general arts corner. Broadening the topic from writing to art as a whole, I think, would make for the impression of a more open and accepting spectrum. If you know what I mean; I can't quite find the words I'm looking for.

“I was fed up of feeling like a failure because my head and body seemed to be unable to coexist” You said it, right there. In an ideal world, I would be up by night to match my head, and asleep by day by my body. I feel most creative and motivated to both start and complete everything from daily tasks (like dishwashing or running errands) to work (like writing or other things) when it starts getting dark, but tragically, we live in a sunshine-fueled world. I attribute most my lifelong sleep irregularities to this; as a child and all throughout schooling, I dragged myself through days and slept as soon as I got home from classes just so that I could be up at night when my mind was most active. It was confusing for teachers, what with my sleeping during class and not being attentive, but flourishing with overnight assignments. I suppose they took it as an underachiever attitude; they frequently encouraged me (and woke me up) to participate in class because they knew I had the ability, but until nightfall, I admittedly never took to it. Consequently, my mother used to enforce bed times for me as a teenager, and I used to have to write or do homework in secret while she slept. There even came a point when she once threatened to take away my computer because she knew I used it at night. Needless to say, all the tiptoeing around my mother and precarious balancing of sleep schedules made it easy to fall into bouts of insomnia. Since finishing school and moving out of my mother's house, I've been less stressed about syncing with the rest of the world, but that doesn't mean it's any less cumbersome. I feel bad, being up at night and not wanting to make noise for fear of waking my roommate or neighbors, among other things.

And you're right; rambling feels good. I already feel a lot has been lifted off my chest, simply from looking at it in retrospection and sharing. I markedly feel less alone about my night peaks and day slumps; explaining it to few friends, they never seem to understand what I'm saying. Here, I see it's quite common.

Well, I guess I'll end my rambling at here for now. Thank you for warm welcome, and I hope that all those momentous letters come to do good! It would be rather exciting, if David Cameron replied! Maybe, to pass the time, I should write a letter to Emo Philips… haha. And hearing that you're thinking of writing a book; if you do start one, I'd be interested to know what about! What was the Poe quote: “Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night”? Those of a feather… well, you know the rest.

Until next time!

I will let you know if I do start a book and if Mr Cameron replies!! I doubt it though, he won't listen to someone without a piece of paper to say they know what they are talking about!! Life experience doesn't count for anything in this world, unless it is a 'proper' life you've led!

I can completely understand your school problems. I was diagnosed with CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) when I was in high school and ended up having to repeat a year as my attendance was less than 50%. I still got better exam results than most of my friends as I can quite easily learn things but only in my own time!! Teachers never understood me but, having a label for my tiredness made them sympathise a little! I know there was nothing medically wrong with me but, as school is during the day, my head and body just couldn't keep up with the pace of it!

Doctors think there has to be an answer for everything but I think when it comes to sleep patterns, some people just thrive better when the rest of the world is asleep!! There is nothing 'wrong' with that, it just doesn't fit with the 9-5, monday-friday world!

Glad you see that 'weird' sleep patterns are much more normal than you thought before sharing with us all on here! You're in the right place!! 😀

Wow, that was a long letter! Did you plan on it being so long when you started out?

I always admire people that actually take action rather than complain. Too many people grumble but don't do anything about it. You're trying to hold politics to account, and that is admirable.

Do you have any plans on writing to Nick Clegg? Didn't he 'sell out' supporters of his party more than Cameron did?

I have no interest in Nick Clegg. He did sell out every single person (including myself) that voted for his party so I think he is a lot less likely to listen than David Cameron. He certainly never seems that bothered that he sold out his party for the opportunity to be known as prime minister at some point in his own little life! I don't think he would not have been anywhere near as high up as deputy prime minister if he had sided with labour AND he would have been blamed for EVERY change that affected the better off in Britain! Democratic politics are supposed to help the MAJORITY but, in Britain, the majority are on anti depressants or alcoholic or a drug user or forced to live on benefits! I hope he does listen soon!!

I hate complaining so decided to do something about the cause of my complaints! Politicians are pretty much responsible for every problem either myself or a member of my family are experiencing. I have a very dysfunctional family, could quite easily make up at least one whole series on Jeremy Kyle, so the types of problems facing my nearest and dearest are extremely varied but I know that politicians have the power to change it all, if they can accept that they don't know ALL the answers!! They might never listen to me but I hope that they do eventually!! Might have to start sending more letters if they don't!! haha

“I was … ended up having to repeat a year as my attendance was less than 50%.” I almost had to repeat a year, but thankfully I was transferred early out of my senior year at high school and into alternative classes at a local Tech/University, where I ended up finishing within a few months (by Christmas break, to be accurate). My alternative classes went from 11 to 3, and were by individual basis rather than class; looking back, I can say that I was very grateful for it! I hadn't been at the classes long, but because they started so late, it was much easier to accommodate night-owl tendencies and I had less stress over being alert and ready to work each day.

And with saying that some people just thrive better at night, I can definitely testify to that. I agree: I'm in the right place! 🙂

Thanks again for all your eager welcomes. Hope the day/night's treating you well!
