Now...when you say tired...do you mean you were physically or mentally exhausted? Sounds like you were mentally exhausted if you physically felt compelled to win a gold medal.

Now to answer your question as to whether it's weird or not, I don't think so...granted I'm no doctor but, what you're describing sounds similar to a great state of mind to be in when one is attempting to enter sleep paralysis consciously. Though usually it's reversed with their mind alert and their body tired xD

I'm moving your thread btw to the on-topic forums.

pretty much yes, my body is tired but my mind is alert. it was very weird last night. i didnt per say "sleeep" it was like i was awake and asleep. like right now i am very tired cuz i feel like i never went to sleep... maybe im just sick? *coughs loudly* lol
i dont know. it is very weird.
i had to take tylenol pms to sleep laast night, and like i said i dont even feel like i did...

That's normal. Your tired but you cant fall asleep, It means that your mind is not yet ready to rest. Just relax your mind and body or take a shower before going to sleep and a cold room also helps you to have a good night sleep.

oh. well thank you. much better now.

Hello Friends......

Both organic and non-organic insomnia without other cause constitute a sleep disorder,primary insomnia.One definition of insomnia is "difficulties initiating and/or maintaining sleep, or nonrestorative sleep, associated with impairments of daytime functioning or marked distress for more than 1 month

Thanks

I think we all have those kinds of strange periods.
When it happens to me I read a book – a little bit enjoying (-if it gets too exiting, I’ll never stop)…
-and slowly the sleep will take over.
