What type are you and have you experienced significant insomnia throughout your life?
What type are you and have you experienced significant insomnia throughout your life?
I assume chemically induced insomnia doesn't count...
uhhhh you be the judge
Up until about four weeks ago when I was forced to hustle on the streets accompanying my warden (well, current love interest, but "warden" sounds more formidible and leaves more room for sexual fantasies of sorts and numbers). I've never been so exhausted at the end of the day as I have after being made to walk city streets soliciting donations from complete strangers. To my credit, I'm charming as hell, which saves the use of actual salesmanship and guerilla tactics.
Best sleep aid: think about pain.
there was a time in my life when I couldn't fall asleep unless my stomach was growling. it was during the period of going from a size 11 to a size 1 in 6 months.

That's not.
"To become is just like falling asleep. You never know exactly when it happens, the transition, the magic, and you think, if you could only recall that exact moment of crossing the line then you would understand everything; you would see it all"

you teach people how to treat you.... don't forget that you end up with what you truly want and think you deserve
I cant find the Nei type + yes
it's called too much dopamine
You say it like it's a bad thing You cant have my natural drugs! You just want to use my mind like it's a pharmeceutical tap imo!

I distinctly recall one night that I hadn't been able to fall asleep. This means that no, I don't have insomia.
You just need to exercise to fight it.

I get my insomnia phases when I have no chance of falling asleep before 4am (or 6am). Even if I go to bed at 12, I'll just lie there and try to relax, half-sleeping but totally aware of reality. Like being totally awake but having less control over the thoughts. Half thoughts, half dreams. Body is so worn out that I can't move it, but I just wont fall asleep. When I finally get to sleep, I'll usually sleep until the morning.
When it gets very bad, I'll also wake up 4-6 times during the night. That's a lot less frequent
I don't use sleeping pills or anything like that. I have tried them a couple of times but they don't work that well for me - I got awfully weird vivid dream and woke up a couple of times during the night. I woke up feeling even more tired than usually.
PS! My insomnia phases aren't always concurrent with stress. Stress makes it more probable, but isn't the main cause.

I did realize an occurence among my SI dominant friends. They dont have insomnia but I do see a commonality of all of them being very touchy sleepers. ie. they wake easily or sleep in annoying increments.
Sure, sometimes.

TY Rocky.
I have experienced it but not in a long while, the worst time was after a tree fell on my grandparents house during a thunderstorm
I'm Ni right?
yes dear
You certainly don't seem ISFp to me! INFp is very plausible.Originally Posted by Zem

Why does that seem INFp?Originally Posted by Kristiina
I never type someone because of one post. If you were my conflictor, I think I would feel that. (and for people who disagree that ISFp is my conflictor, Zem just doesn't seem similar to the ISFps I know.)Originally Posted by Zem

I don't know but your posts don't give off an ENTj vibe, and I can usually detect that pretty quickly. I usually get this strong urge to try and make the ENTj like me. But I don't feel that with you.
kelly, you kick ass

If you are INFp, we should have a pretty good relationship. I don't piss off people who have Te-PoLR, because I have too many siblings with Te-PoLR. And this is why I might not give you the feeling that you have to change me.
PS! I piss off people who are too sensing and too much in the presence.
Insomnia - I had one tiny energy drink at 5pm and didn't get to sleep until 4am. And I had lots of dreams.

Thats just the vibe I get teh interweb confuses thingssss
indeed
This makes me all giggly and happy. And I'm always afraid that I seem Se-aggressive and nasty. I thought I'm a nasty bitch.Originally Posted by Zem
/me gets especially dreamy after reading Zem's post...

Interestingly enough, Joy never seems angry either. She always seems fabulously indifferent, which does not strike me as ENTj behavior either (in comparison to the well-known Se assertiveness and passion displayed by ENTjs here and elsewhere). I just thought I'd mention it since you brought it up.Originally Posted by Zem

And I rarely have insomnia unless I'm really stressed out.

thank you. It's taken a lot for me to learn to be like that. Of course... irl I'm still working on it... but at least I've made some progress over the years, particularly since my son was born. That's what life's about though, right? Learning and improving and whatnot.Originally Posted by Kim
Te role anyone?Originally Posted by Joy
But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoed,
Under cerulean skies...
uh... how's that?

indifferent -> serious -> aggressive -> bubbly.
As a contrast, is this Fe role? :wink: (joking, not to be taken too seriously. Although I'm telling the truth.)
