Anybody else sleeping less and feeling increasingly mentally active and tired ?

I think I'm suffering from information overload.

I can't stay away from reading, I feel as if I don't have enough time to gather vital information.

I have a feeling of an impending event that I need to understand, I'm not sure what that event is.

I've been purposely putting off my pc to take breaks from reading online and then I lie down for 10 - 15 minutes, suddenly re-energised and reaching for books beside my bed.

There's so much I don't know.

I seem to be experiencing time differently as well, it's flying, and there's not enough, I'm unaware of dates, days most of the time.

I'm restless, worried. I'm spending less and less time doing anything else but reading, looking for patterns, looking for the 'inbetween the lines' data.

The only distraction is when I watch a bit of Lost, and then I become impatient because I want to trawl for information instead.

Society is becoming blurry and inconsequent to me, it is becoming unimportant in the same way as understanding more about quantum possibilities is increasing.

I'm all over the place, and not pausing to review the data I read and to bring it all together, though it becomes part of my whole 'comprehension of the big picture'.

I'm both exhausted and energetic.
 
Have you watched all the Stargates ? :D Theyre good mental timeouts :D
 
Cut your telephone line and then report a fault with telkom. That should give you a few days/weeks timeout :p
 
Sounds like the OP is developing a pyschological disorder. OCD, schitzophrenia or something. It might even be a toomuh. (Edit : Best Arnie impression)

I sit here in front of the pc from the morning to the evening and when i look it's after 12am then i will sometimes get up at about 7 am or sometimes at 9 am and i start all over again.

so sad!!!
 
I've watched all the Stargates thanks - oh wait a minite, only up to the last of Atlantis.

Alcohol does make me sleep, but I don't really favour drinking. I read the Noseweek and half of the latest National Geographic last night and then slept till 11am this morning, I feel much better, I need to control my data thirst, that's why I'm going to join the Stellenbosch University library next week, so I can do more offline reading haha.
