Paranoia killed the cat, almost

I last slept on Saturday morning, I fell asleep today on the couch watching T.V., but that was just 40 min. of sleep. I haven't had much to do, just writing a script that's driving me nuts. Soda and sugars have made it easier to miss sleep.

Anyway, here's the thing. In school, I used to think I might be a little paranoid, sometimes I thought I heard my name in the distance type of thing. Nothing that really ever had an effect on my life. However; now that I haven't slept for a while, the paranoia is multiplied ten fold. I heard something running around up stairs, being 4 in the morning, I found this a bit strange. I went up to investigate, but on the trip up the stairs, I had a vision of a face hugger from aliens latching on to me as I foolishly investigated without being armed :scared:. So logically, to protect myself from aliens, I donned a weapon. Just a lead pipe mind you. Then, my precautions paid off. Something jumped out at me, finally, my chance to put those alien bastards in their place. I raised my weapon to smite this over confident, little alien punk :Grrr:. Then I stopped and picked up my new kitten:cat:. Be wary the effects of insomnia. I thought it would help me write a better detective script if I didn't sleep, but I became so paranoid, I almost whacked my cat. I didn't really start to swing, I didn't really mistake my cat for an alien, but the fact that I armed myself in case I had to defend myself from a face hugger, I find humorous. I think I'll get some sleep now.

So be safe, rest well, and if you must go without sleep, try to avoid watching Aliens. It's a great movie, but you don't want to kill your cat now, do you:idontwann? If anyone else has a story about paranoia, I'd love to hear it.
 
Wow! That's quite the tale Cyrano. I suffer from CFS and am often sleep deprived as a result (including at this moment). I know all too well the effects of lack of sleep. It messes up your entire system. I know I tend to be more ornery and don't feel like doing a heck of a lot. I generally can't concentrate that well when it's at the worst point, either. At those times, I'm not even safe to drive. There have been times when I've grown paranoid and hallucinated as well. But, so far, I've been able to remind myself what's real and what isn't.

PS - Glad you didn't kill your cat!
 
Yeah, I'm glad I didn't kill my cat also. Although it did scratch me a few days ago....nah, I forgive it. But I will make it a point to sleep a little every night now. I woke up around three on the couch, in a very odd position, couldn't remember what I did last night very well, thought I had a few drinks, but it wasn't on my breath. Getting off-line was the last thing I remember. Insomnia's a kick in the head, ain't it? I guess I don't have insomnia, more of a self deprived of sleep type thing.

Well, be safe Ann, and stay off the road when you need some sleep, for the sake of the mail boxes. They have feelings too. 🙂

No problem there. If I'm at all light-headed or spacey, I stay put. There's no errand important enough to risk my life and those of others.
