Mine comes and goes. I wish I could track it. Usually, I can fall asleep easily but wake after only an hour or two. Eventually I just collapse from exhaustion.
The Zquil melatonin gummies with ashwaganda have helped quite a lot.

I've always been a night owl. I love night. I work during it, or do other things.
Nobody bothers you and it's like you have the entire city to yourself. But I do sleep enough and being at home most of the time, I have a lot of freedom to manage things and regulate myself between responsibilities (work etc.) and leisure time for myself.

Not exactly regular, but more than once a week. I read a lot. Helps me to eventually fall back to sleep

I had a few long stretches of insomnia recently, though I’ve been sleeping well lately. What’s helped is making sure to get up at the same time, no matter when I went to sleep. And probably the biggest thing is listening to ASMR videos on YouTube. There’s one woman (TingTingASMR) who has the most soothing voice - her whispering puts me right to sleep.

For a while I couldn't sleep without booze, or pills. Now I try to just stay up until I get tired. That's really all there is to it. Its better that way.

I have never needed much sleep but a recent event has meant that I am hardly sleeping at all. I don’t find this to be a problem and I have been functioning on an average of a hour a day for about 4 weeks. I did crash one day and slept for 10 hours but I think that was down to something that totally relaxed me and took my mind of things for quite a while.

With the rampant rabbit I have, the head is quite large so I struggle sometimes even with lube. I guess after 7 years of no penetration, it will take a while to stretch again
7 years, yeah
same here. That's why I have a wolf in my AV, these days, I just lay next to the hole and howl.

Another way I deal with it, like tonight, is to get out of bed for a bit, have a snack & scroll through Lit (<-- don't recommend the last, the light from the computer screen doesn't help, blah blah blah blah lol)

Mine started during the long winters and the darkness, and then summers with no darkness. It got worse over the years, but never bothered me. Now, with the lack of good exercise I have way too much energy, and cant sleep, ot only for a few hours at most. It does tend to get in the way of things I need to do though.

I’ll fall asleep around midnight, then wake up to pee between 3-4am and then I can’t get back to sleep until around 6, then up at 6:45. I hate broken sleep. Ugh

I feel the same. At least not to get off. I can imagine using one in public if we were together, so it wouldn't be e-boning. It would be teasing each other while others wonder why we both look like we're having the time of our lives with Lots of grins and smiles and ""oh you wouldn't dare" looks followed by "OMG you did" looks
I like the way you think Des.

It's a very regular thing. It seems I'm both a night owl and a morning person. And on those occasions when I do get to sleep at a reasonable time, I'll usually wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to get back to sleep. So far the only way I'm able to deal with it is lots of mid-day naps. Unfortunately, those aren't always an option.

It was a daily thing. Now that I am back in Kentucky away from the shit show and have my daughter with me....we both are sleeping the night through like normal people. It isn't that I am less stressed....but it was a very different kind of stress we were experiencing in Wyoming. Now all I have to do is catch back up on 5 years of shitty sleep

It would freak the hell out of me. Of the creepy kind.
lolSomeone I know and it is with me, in flesh, it’s a whole different game.
But that’s just my preference. It's not a judgment on those who like and/or use it.

Freaky can be good. Though I’m more on the weirdo side.
Now makes me think, and I’m nosy about the difference between freak and weird, in general.

"Freak" has a much more explicitly sexual connotation to me. If someone says they're a freak I immediately think they have a dresser drawer full of nipple clamps and ball gags. If someone says they're weird, that just means they like putting hot sauce on their Caesar salad or something.
If you're using both words within a purely sexual meaning, I'm not sure there is much difference. Maybe freak brings to my mind more conventional BDSM interests, and weird means they get off on something truly unusual. Like, lots of people are freaks with toy boxes full of leashes, paddles, and double-penetration dildos; far fewer are weirdos who can only get off by jerking over buckets of decapitated fish heads or something.
Not sure what that means for your preference for weird over freaky.

I was thinking in general terms. Nothing sexual. I like a bit of weirdness in people.
That's how my mind works. Goes from here to there in a second.
But yours is def. a very interesting take on it. lol
