Nocturnalism in Humans True , but curable?

Allow me to amend my statement: Without using a variety of external aids (on the order of powerful electric shocks) you cannot keep yourself awake for long enough to do any damage.

Around about when you start hallucinating you'll also start randomly falling asleep. Unless you've got something set up that forces you back awake every time this happens, you'll sleep until you're back to a reasonable approximation of normal.

John, don't you see a resemblance here? This sounds an awful lot like a masked homosexuality argument as I and another pointed out.

Dude... just shutup...

I live in Nova scotia Canada... check my last post.

See the time I posted at , to the time I am posting at now according to the time zone I live in?

It is already late here... I just woke up when the sun set. Just go look at my post and you will see.

I don't see how this is anything like homosexuality argument.
I am against it. If It was the homosexuality argument , I wouldn't have said , "it's natural and I think I was born with it".

No, what you are attempting to argue is whether or not this scapegoat is curable. This bares striking resemblance to a homosexuailty subject and I think what you are trying to find is a cure for something you think you were born with so you can apply it to homosexuality.

However, this is simply an assumption, but I have my suspicions. As for your issue. Just try going to bed at a certain time until it works .

Ok I understand now. Makes perfect sense.


MargusAlexandros: Personally how is this "serious discussion" worthy? unless this is turned into that one homosexuality argument. hmmm.

I don't buy this, it doesn't work as you desbribe it, magusalexandros.
I've been up for something like 3 days, but that awake period was unnaturally created.
at the end of it, I had a fever, I saw arms reaching for me through the walls, and I was more or less acting like a crazy person, and at the end, I fell asleep sitting up.

That won't solve it. his internal clock says it's sleeping time when it's daylight and vice versa. It's something in your head that's making you do this. Brain impulses. It can be fixed. Maybe not in this day and age but it's possible with advanced technology!

Er, no.

Your internal clock doesn't care about the sun.

LOL, I can sleep whenever I want (or not sleep when I don't want to.) I guess I don't have an internal clock.

I don't know if you've already tried this, but stay up all day, then go to sleep when the sun goes down, and keep doing it until it corrects itself. It might help you to get out and do something during the day, like exercise or go shopping, so you can't go to sleep even if you feel tired. There's nothing wrong with drinking energy drinks in the morning if they work for you.

Good luck.
