I don't sleep. I'm sure I've mentioned this before. I usually get 4 hours sleep a night during the weekend, 6 or less during the week.
We have a 3 day weekend this week thanks to May day (No idea what the actual occasion is but an extra day off is aces in my book). Anyway, I decided last night to get an early night. Got about 10 hours sleep in total. Then I woke up.
"GUARGH!!! WHAT THE F-"
I had the worst migraine I've ever had in my life. If you've ever experienced waking up with a headache, you know it sucks. However, take that pain, times it by 3 and add severe nausea. Whoo. Long story short, everything I put in, including painkillers, came flying back out at high speed.
Basically lost a day of my three day weekend while I slept it off. Woke up around 8pm in the end. So I managed to eat something, stayed up with the wife until she went to bed at midnight. It is now 4:30AM and I have been working on The Core since then. Not tired at all now having slept most of the day.
Just thought I'd share.

Also if I sleep less than 7 hours I can't do anything that implies intellectual effort efficiently.
I'm surely intrigued by how you manage with so little sleep...
If it's insomnia, i would definitley recommend adding some exercise in your routine somewhere, just 30 minutes of some good cardio at least and some simple low-impact muscle training (i personally like pushups/situps and simple yoga.
i find if i do this once or twice a day everyday, i feel, work, and SLEEP much better.
Striker: never knew that about flax seeds holy crap!
I've read somewhere though that scientists have tested for these effects on humans with a 60g portion and nothing happend, so I suppose only on special occasions or if you consume a rather big portion of flaxseeds you'd get intoxicated.
I use them for the Omega-3 oil and as a natural laxative from time to time.
I'll usually get 4-6 hrs a few nights and then finally get 8-10 one night. People say you don't make up for lost sleep but my body sure as hell wants extra sleep after missing out on so much.
