It's currently 1:25am, and I have to get up early in the morning. Problem is, I've hit another one of my "moments."

I'm an eexperience-driven person. I don't care if I do anything with my life -- I just want to experience as much and in as many ways as I can. I think this is why these moments happen. I'm in bed. I was about to get ready to sleep. All of a sudden, everything just stops, and the world around me seems to change in an instant, as though it all was behind a hazy window which was just opened. Now I feel the extraordinary compulsion to...something. I want to write, but I have no words. I want to think, but my mind is empty. I want to experience, but nothing is in my reach. I don't know what this urge is, but it drives me and refuses to let me sleep. This is the first time I've managed to do anything at all in one of these moments. I managed to talk -- not because I have something to say, but because I can for once say what I feel, and I have to let something out.

Thank you, and sorry.

First of all, thanks for the penumbra collection :D
Second - I know how you feel, I get these moments from time to time, a desire to create but I feel empty inside. And they you spend so much time just thinking never fully asleep nor awake. It tires me very much :(

The reason I left the forum was because I started getting it every night. I wouldn't get to sleep until 7 or 8am in the middle of a college semester. I started failing my classes, so I had to anchor down, but I can't help it. And it's not really an urge to create. I don't know what it wants me to do or if it even wants me to do everything. It's like being pulled toward something unknown while something cements you in the spot you are.

I spoke to a friend who is a physician and he said that it's probably insomnia caused by depression or something that bothers me greatly. I guess you could go and speak to a physician, there are ways to combat that.

I sometimes have some of those same feelings of restlessness and insomnia. You are not alone, and I think you have made a step in the right direction by talking about this via your post. I agree with the previous poster about talking to a doctor (or counselor). There is nothing wrong with doing that, and it might help.

I have these feelings too. Quite strangely, they appear very frequently. I realized that for me, those feelings are a drive to acquire more knowledge and do more things. Whenever I feel like this, I can't stand the fact I"m doing nothing. I'm usually thinking that my daily routine is monotonous and life is boring. Most of the time I want to go sky diving or solve some intricate problem most people can't solve.

And damn! That Penumbra collection looked nice.

Speaking as an Occupational Therapist(similar to Physical/PhysioTherapist), I would suggest that there is some possible neurochemical processes taking place at your nighttime that's keeping you up. I wouldn't rule out depression or some other mental health issue, especially since the description sounds similar to that of a type of hypomanic phase in bipolar individuals. Perhaps not as extreme as a bipolar individual, but having sleep affected does suggest some hormonal or neurochemical imbalance.

First recommendation is to see a doctor, second is to modify electronic equipment usage (stop using electronics at least 2 hours before bedtime), and third is to be sure your body is getting regular exercise and healthy foods during the day so that it knows when to sleep and that it needs sleep. Track the occurrences, chart the feelings, what triggers them, and you may notice the pattern and be able to influence it. Good luck.

First of all, this is something that happens to me during the day, not night. Second, I'm not depressed. I despise the idea of depression. Third, the doctors said my brain is more than healthy. The electrical impulses are at the recommended level, so don't judge if I rather listen to a neurologist and neurosurgeon. :D

Whoops. I thought I was quoting and responding to parent post, Mr. Nightrunner, as it was he who talking about losing sleep and such. You, Mr Hijack, I extend my best wishes for continued good health, as you've consulted with top medical experts regarding your own circumstances.

Edit: Looking further, I see that there was no indication regarding what time of day these thoughts and behavior patterns occurred to you. The inference is made that since the parent discussion was regarding nighttime issues and sleep disruption, you were responding to your own nocturnal phenomena as well. Either way, no harm intended for a person for whom no harm is occurring. My medical advice is given to those as wants these issues or behavior to occur in a more productive time and place.

Welcome to stage one of regret in the life of an observational based existence.

Don't watch reality tv. BECOME reality tv.

If you have to... you might have to... you might want to. You want to. You too?

But never, ever talk about fight club.

It's all good. I kind of realized sometimes I just get bored and start to reflect on life and think of science and mathematics. I guess it's a behavioral thing, more or less.
