Why are late nights so bad???

[RicheemxX]

OK I drink like the best of them and when I drink I can't type for nothing{hell I can"t type anyways} but why is it that we get some seriously bad, crazy {I don't wanna be rude but um yeah stupid} questions late at night. I'm not just talking bad questions but terrible typing to the point that your not sure what the question or answer is. I know I'm guilty of drunken typing but come on at least make it look decent or use spell ckeck so we can read part of you question/answer

ps: I'm drunken typing right now slow but sure and IE spell is my best friend {wish firebird had one}

lol....im guilty but its not my fault, its twisted tea's fault


i think it might help if you could order a custom keyboard, i miss keys here and there and am famous for switching the ing to ign in somethign . so if the g key and the n key were switched around, id have no problem drunkin typing

I'm just wondering why you are drinking RicheemxX.
It doesn't help anything, and just makes daily problems worse.

Friends don't let friends post drunk!

It's 2am here. I ain't drunk (don't drink alcohol anymore), just can't sleep.

Some things you shouldn't do when drunk, include:

Flying airliners (as the pilot)
Operating heavy machinery (like 30 ton trucks)
Perform brain surgery (or any sort of surgery, really, including computer surgery)
Converse with traffic policemen whilst behind the wheel of your car
Propose to your girlfriend

and...

Post in online forums.

All of the above can have nasty consequences that can be hard to live with.

Sleep it off.

Cheers

I'm just wondering why you are drinking RicheemxX.

Alcoholism is an inherited problem...its in the genes. Very difficult to control, and rarely is controlled completely. I understand it because I am one also...my father before me, and many of my ancestors. I don't buy much at a time, so the urge at night comes and goes without 'touching a drop'..but the urge is there 24/7 (almost). On some occasions, I will buy a small bottle, come home and consume it completely..then, I buy no more for a couple of weeks etc. This will not work for others, and only works for me after several years of just "backing off" when I wanted to run to the store. Fortunately the state I live in has a 7pm law..all package stores are required to close at 7pm..this will help prevent a lot of the late nighters from running out late to get a bottle.

I agree with what RicheemxX has to say however.. when I have had a few 'snorts', I tend to reply to some threads that I would not have normally..especially the controversial ones. I use spell checkers a lot..my problem with spell checkers is, they don't do one dang thing for your grammar LOL!

Alcohols can mess up your sleep, big time.

First, when it is metabolized--about 1.5 ozs. an hr., there is an "autonomic rebound" as it wears off, causes sweats, runny noses, and often waking up, as your sppressed autonomic nervous system "bounces back".

It is a characteristic of nervous systems to try to maintain their natural level, so they "fight back" against any push --eventually, when the drug wears off, they overdo it for a while, hence the "rebound effect".

In normal sleep, we wake up about five times a night--and go back to sleep without ever remembering it, unless something happens to make it memorable. Ever get accused of waking somebody up, when the noise you made was inconsequential ? Probably, you caught them in a wakeful time.

Some people sufer from Sleep Apnea, where they stop breathing due to blockage of base of palate and pharynx. They have little recollection of this--but often fall asleep in daytime to make up for lost sleep.

Back in the sisxties, a graduate student named Norman Aserinsky, while monitoring babies sleeping, noticed that their eyes moved rapidly back and forth, during their sleep.

This began the research on Rapid Eye Movement (REM) or "paradoxical sleep". The paradox, is the brain emits the same short rapid spike pattern of being awake--yet it is the hardest to wake people during this period. I

It is also the time of dreaming. Ah ! The rebound effect, again. If you suppress REM sleep (and dreaming) you get a REM rebound as the body tries to "catch up" (one theory) or simply express the supressed activity. Less REM, less dreams; more REM, more dreams.

Alcohol--like several other drugs, messes up this cycle and messes up sleep.

Oddly, oine of the drugs found toi mess up sleep cycles was Secanol (sodium secobarbitol), a --Doh ! --"sleeping pill". Current sleeping pils --like Dalmane and Restoril, supposedly don't suppress the normal cycle.

But both belong to the same benzodiazepim class of drugs like Valium (diazapam) which does surpress REM sleep so I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

The "sleep centers" in the brain are not in the cortex, as once was thought--but in very deep areas near the brain stem called the Nucleii of Raphe.

Ther are different types of insomnia --initial (can't fall asleep); medial(wakes up a lot during the night); and terminal(wakes up too early). All of these can be syptomatic of some proble, if this is a frequent problem. They require a Medical Doctor to evaluate.

Drinking alcohol before sleep is more like to be a causative factor to abnormal sleep, than a "sleep tonic".

If you have any questions about any sleep problems you or your loved ones are experiencing, only a Medical Doctor can evaluate them --not da DOOOG or any other learned and Distinguished Member.

I am guilty of bad Typing,and staying up til it's early again,maybe I should start drinking to have something to blame it on

Oh I just remembered, I quit drinking so my money would stop disappearing so fast.That and waking up and saying "Where did that come from?"

[samwichse]

I'm afraid I don't know what on earth you're talking about.
