Chip McDonald Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 What I want to know is how to get your sleep-cycle together.... Went off-schedule last night by almost an hour and a half. Dropped by a friend's bar and watched a band from Atlanta "King Johnson" (apparently the guitar player is the brother one of the Martin, Modesky and Wood) - good drummer, you wouldn't happen to know the guy, would you Lee?. It's now 5:47 p.m. and I feel like I'm about to fall over. If I go to sleep now I'll sleep for about an hour, then not feel like getting out of bed until somewhere around 9. At which point I'll stay up until 7 am. I *should* be working on music, but I'm too sleepy. Hmm. It occurs to me most of the time I post here it's when I'm too sleepy to concentrate on anything of value.... Regardless, this is getting old. I can't get a sleeping habit formed, I'm sleeping about 2 hours a night and wasting another 5 hours or so in bed pretending to "rest", and it's pissing me off. So what I want to know is.... On average, how long do people here sleep *straight*? What do you do to make yourself sleep? I've tried getting up ridiculously early, didn't help. Tried working out strenuously all day, didn't work. Tried not eating at night, didn't work. I mean, I tried these things for over a week with no change. My brain won't shut off, I lay there and analyze everything, think about 9,000 things I need to be doing, turn the cd player off but the music keeps going in my head and won't stop, turn the cd player on then I'm thinking about music, then... AHHHHHGGGGG!!!! This is a really inefficient way of running a human, help...... ------------------ New and Improved Music Soon: http://www.mp3.com/chipmcdonald Guitar Lessons in Augusta Georgia: www.chipmcdonald.com Eccentric blog: https://chipmcdonaldblog.blogspot.com/ / "big ass windbag" - Bruce Swedien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 Chip, I feel your pain... You're probably not going to like this answer...but... I'm a shift worker (make sure to include the letter "f" in "shift"). I work rotating shifts...a week of days, a week of midnights, and a week of afternoons...and so on. My schedule is permanently screwed up, and so is my system. I spent a lot of time while on midnights, getting to bed at 8 am, only to find myself awake and zombified at around noon. Likewise...next comes afternoons, so, getting home at around midnight...I usually am up til 4 am...(still early by midnight shift standards). Then comes the dreaded day shift...up around 5 am...should be sleeping by around 9 pm. Do I? Not only no, but HELL no. Usually not 'til 11 or so... What works for me? Often, nothing...but...what helps often is taking those over-the-counter blue gel-caps...the stuff that's the active sleep enhancing ingredient in NyQuil. There's a brand name I can never remember, 'cause I use the generic stuff. It really helps relaxation, and, to me, helps me STAY asleep when I need to. I tried some prescription crap for awhile...oh yeah, it knocked me out alright...but then I woke back up in four hours. Seems like the "NyQuil without the cold medicine" stuff helps me stay asleep longer. BTW...try melatonin, too.

Chip McDonald Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Originally posted by Tedster: in four hours. Seems like the "NyQuil without the cold medicine" stuff helps me stay asleep longer. BTW...try melatonin, too. Funny, one of my room mates is essentially a junky for that stuff. Takes it every night almost. Had dinner with some friends a few weeks ago, and one of them goes "take Benadryl" and the others all go "yeah"... I dunno. Of course, she doesn't seem to have a sleeping problem but... Melatonin I think almost worked for me one time, but then a series of extreamly late night gigs/events screwed it up - which always seems to be the case the moment I seem to get on track. Benadryl... diphenhydramine is what does it I think...Let me see (going to kitchen to rummage through the room mate's stash) Man, he DOES have a stash, must be one of every type of cold remedy in there - looks like he takes two of one, buys another then take two, buys another... weird. Only Benadryl contains diphenhydramine, though. I suppose I'll try this in "a little while" and see. Every time I've tried some sort of OTC med I wake up feeling groggy and useless. I've got a lot of stuff to do tomorrow, but "oh well"... ------------------ New and Improved Music Soon: http://www.mp3.com/chipmcdonald Guitar Lessons in Augusta Georgia: www.chipmcdonald.com Eccentric blog: https://chipmcdonaldblog.blogspot.com/ / "big ass windbag" - Bruce Swedien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also try to avoid caffiene (although I inevitably have a caffienated soda every few weeks)... For me, caffiene can give me a much-needed energy kick, but it can also mess up my sleeping patterns too. Quite caffeine for a year. Massive head aches regularly. Sleeping got *worse* that year, actually... Caffeine seems to only have an effect over about an hour with me. But when I actually go to sleep... I program a set of CDs that I fall asleep to... I think the music actually influences my dreams. [/b] Then I get anxiety over "is this the optimal music to be hearing right now?".. Had a cd of ocean sounds I liked, but lost it - seemed to help until I started learning it had patterns. ------------------ New and Improved Music Soon: http://www.mp3.com/chipmcdonald Guitar Lessons in Augusta Georgia: www.chipmcdonald.com Eccentric blog: https://chipmcdonaldblog.blogspot.com/ / "big ass windbag" - Bruce Swedien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Wing Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Some police humor: A guy blows a stop sign and gets caught by a policeman. Cop says, "License and registration please," Guy says, "what for?" Cop says, "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign." Guy says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming," Cop says,"You still didn't come to a complete stop, license and registration, please" Guy says, "What's the difference?" Cop says, "The difference is, you have to come to a complete stop. License and registration,PLEASE!" Guy says, "If you can show me the difference between slow down and stop I'll give you my license and registration," Cop says, "Exit your vehicle sir." At this point, the cop takes out his billy club and starts beating the*@ out of the guy and says, "Do you want me to slow down or stop?" There are two theories about arguing with a woman. Neither one works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Wing Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 More police humor: The top 20 things not to say to a cop when he pulls you over: 20. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer. 19. Sorry officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in. 18. Aren't you the guy from the Village People? 17. Hey, you must have been doing 125 to keep up with me, good job. 16. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical shape to be a police officer. 15. I was going to be a cop, but I decided to finish high school instead. 14. Bad cop. No donut. 13. You're not going to check the trunk, are you? 12. Gee, that gut sure doesn't inspire confidence. 11. Didn't I see you get your butt kicked on Cops? 10. Is it true that people become cops because they are too dumb to work at McDonalds? 9. I pay your salary! 8. So uh, you on the take or what? 7. Gee officer, that's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning. 6. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does. 5. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there is no other cars around, that's how far they are ahead of me. 4. What do you mean have I been drinking? You are the trained specialist. 3. Well, when I reached down to pick up my bag of crack, my gun fell off of my lap and got lodged between the brake and the gas pedal, forcing me to speed out of control. 2. Hey, is that a 9mm? That's nothing compared to this 44 magnum. 1. Hey, can you give me another one of those body cavity searches? There are two theories about arguing with a woman. Neither one works.

Tedster Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 This I think was on another forum...but talking about cop humor... A young guy goes speeding across a bridge. Sure enough, at the other end of the bridge a cop is parked with a radar gun. The cop pulls the guy over. "You know how fast you were going?" "I was late for work, officer" "What kind of work do you do?" "I'm a rectum stretcher" "A WHAT?" "Yup, a rectum stretcher. I start with one finger, then two, then a whole hand, then two hands, and then I gradually stretch it out until it's six feet wide" "And just what do you do with a six foot asshole?"

Mile Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Any kind o music through headphones will do the trick. I concentrate on production, what are instruments playing and before I know it, I'm in dream land... The best CD is Eros from Eros Ramazzotti. Nice production. Every instrument is crystal clear and you can hear every single line of every single instrument... Just concentrate on strings or toms or bass guitar and you will be dreaming in no time (far from that that music is boring or anything...) If it sounds god, just play the darn thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, that might not be a bad idea! Thing is - it's almost like I need something so enthralling I forget my worries of the day, which is probably what keeps me awake. Things I love watching - F1 racing and the NBA finals - put me to sleep. ON THE OTHER HAND, one thing that I find VERY enthralling that absolutely doesn't put me to sleep are those damned WOMEN GONE WILD tv commercials. In fact, I've been trying to go to sleep WITHOUT the television on specifically for that reason. 4 am, lying there in a half-zombie sleep state, and then BOOMP, bada BOOMP, there's these things on tv and BOOMP BOOMP BOOMP jiggling around and they're right there, and there they are, and then I'm awake, and worse yet quite aggravated. But they probably don't run those commercials on the Gold Channel, right? I'll try it tonight. Or get an IBM technical manual and start reading. THAT will definitely put anyone to sleep!!!!!!!!! I'd probably find something interesting about it: Norton's Guide to the 8086 is sitting on my bookshelf for no other practical reason than it was interesting to me. ------------------ New and Improved Music Soon: http://www.mp3.com/chipmcdonald Guitar Lessons in Augusta Georgia: www.chipmcdonald.com Eccentric blog: https://chipmcdonaldblog.blogspot.com/ / "big ass windbag" - Bruce Swedien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip I couldn't possibly say that I look anything like Richard Gere ( mores the damn pity http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif) but I have been very fortunate in finding a woman who can and does understand what being a musician is all about. My tip fwiw, is to find someone who is as passionate about what she does as you are about your art. My spousage is a teacher of dressage and therefore works long and antisocial hours.... She understands that I hafta do the same. She tends to do her work in the early morning thru to about 6.00pm and of course mine starts around 11.00am and finishes at???? Our relationship has always worked cos she understands as I do that life for both of us cannot be a 9 til 5.

That's a concept that is apparently impossible to grasp to most people, female or otherwise... That's kind of the point though.... Surely anything that is truly worth having is worth waiting for. Think of all the years you have put into your pursuance of musical excellence it took time but you are now a very highly respected player and teacher and surely the achievement of that respect was well worth the wait. I honestly believed for a long time, after a number of half assed relationships and two divorces, that I would never find anyone truly compatable who would share my passion for my work, but in the most unlikely circumstances.... wow it happened!!

I've seen that happen, but it would seem to be very rare. I know what you mean, but I'm an old romantic and a true believer in the fact that when it is meant to happen it will!! We also never did much of the dinners, courting etc. It just wasn't necessary, candles and each others company were more than enough and anything else just seemed intrusive. just a side note, I have met many people over the years, male and female, who are as focussed on what they do as we are. I had resigned myself to living without a true spiritual partner and I just stopped looking for anything really deep. My brother asked me one day if I wanted to go horseriding, I ummed and aaaed for a while and finaly, cos I had nothing better to do, I said ok then lets do it...... the rest is history.
