You may have bipolar disorder. The crazy manic stage sounds like fun but the depressed part sounds awful.

wow, i've gotten 9 hours of sleep one day out of the past 20 years, and that was the day after i had brain surgery

I used to sleep a lot less, and I paid for it. Tired during the day, to the point I'd fall asleep while driving. Also didn't feel altogether there when I woke up in the morning. Now I get up ready to rock, and feel good all day.

hmmm. maybe when my commute isn't 2.5 hours per day, i will give this more sleep thing a try.

Mr. Leuchtag: Mareichtag and I are speaking nothing but English now.
Mrs. Leuchtag: So we should feel at home when we get to America.
Carl: Very nice idea, mm-hmm.

Here is some good advice : Instead of watching movies with 2 subtitles at once, you could try just watching the bbc (Or just english / US movies)without subtitles. It worked for me as a kid.
Just keep listening and use a real English dictionary to translate words. Take some online courses.

Most of the time, the subtitle translations in movies are awful.


And not sleeping will come to haunt you. As you will get a psychotic episode after a few days without sleep. You will get paranoid.
And you will get sick. And you will forget most that you have tried to learn.

I like sleeping in the day, I find I sleep better. I love night shifts. Best part too is not having to get up early. Getting up early is the hardest part of any day.

ugh, i hate sleeping during the day more than just about anything

i swore to myself when i was very young (maybe 6 or 7) that i would never sleep when it is light outside. and so far i have broken that promise only once.

you waste the precious hours of cover of darkness with sleep and then stay awake on purpose during the useless "light" hours? with no cover of darkness, no soothing gentle glow from the moon?
