I admit that I do rest a few hours a day, like 4, but I do not truly sleep. I have adjusted the amount of meals I eat, and medications to allow me to go with out sleep. In fact, yesterday, I tried to sleep and can not. I am fine like this, and think sleeps a waste of time, I can clean my room or maybe the whole house in one night, I watch a lot of TV, and spend time learning what ever I need to know online. So why do some people like sleep so much? Whats the point in wasting that much of your live doing nothing but laying there for hours a day?

Medically talking, why do people cry? What makes them cry? I notice that some people start to cry even if they don't feel like they want to. And it just happens. Can you tell me why?
(I couldn't find another section that could fit this question, so I put it here.)

agony everytime I walk or sit down. I cant even sleep on my back because my bum hurts so much and if I roll over I wake myself because of the pain. I can feel a lump of sorts when I am in the bath, what could this be ? I dont want to spend Christmas day lying on my belly.

Christmas is almost upon us and to combat the excess of the period, Ive bought some milk thistle tablets. I know that they are very good at helping the liver to deal with alcohol, but Im unsure when to take the tablets. In other words, should I start taking them days before I go out to build up a resistance, or should I take them on the day or night that Im planning to have a few drinks?

Why is pot so bad these days? I don't get it. My parents and other family members have told me that they would rather me smoke weed than smoke ciggs. I don't see the big deal everyone is makin about it. It only mellows me out. I don't go on violent rampages or kill people. Maybe it just depends on the person. Also all my family members call me an old soul just because I perfer classic rock to rap or all that junk. My stepdad can't get over the fact that my favorite band is Pink Floyd. Yes, I am an American. I live in south.

I am on my second attempt. Smoked for 14 years. Today is my first day without a cigarrette. I woke up and slapped a patch on after my shower and have been chewing gum all morning. Can anyone give me advice on how to deal with the cravings or any other advice?

I intend to see a doctor to rule out heart, blood, or thyroid diseases, so don't sweat me about it. I think it's a combination of anxiety and just being out of shape.

I've learned how to slow my breathing and relax my muscles so I don't get full fledged panic attacks and rapid palpitations, but I am plagued with a sense of impending doom and I can feel my heart beating as if I did something strenuous. This happens when I try to relax, but not ever triggered by exertion. This has been going on for about 2 years now. Does anyone have the same thing when trying to relax?
