Hey DS, hope the sleep is better now. I read a book a while back called "Counting Sheep" it was basically about the science of sleep etc. It was a fascinating book and I found it really helped my sleep patterns. Definately worth a read!

I have just ordered a brand spanking new copy of Planescape: Torment (I have never played it before) so when that arrives I think I may experience some strange changes to my sleep patterns....

The hardest thing is not looking on forums etc about the game - I want to be as virgin as possible, but have heard such great things about it, i want to learn more!

You'll enjoy Planescape Torment. I got a copy off a friend, and it's amazing.

The sleep is getting better, thanks. I still wake up every few hours from about five onwards, but I'm baming that on the heat - I don't do well in hot weather.

I've finished my first year of uni. Now... I just have to wait and see if I passed everything, and then, on to the second year. I can finally move out of this flat, and into a house with people I like. Which means I can use the kitchen without fear of drunken strangers throwing things at me and waking me up when I finally get to sleep the day before an exam.

Howdy CO,

great game - I'm sure you'll enjoy it

G3 do a tweak pack - doesn't add content, just makes some (optional) changes to the mechanics.

It's 4:30 am.

"The sleep is getting better" - I spoke too soon.

Cheers - will be downloading patches and was planning on getting a fixpack such as that first, then off i go!

DS, I still go in cycles where i wake up real early for a while etc. Yeah, heat is real bad. Not sure what your flat is like, but try getting up when you wake up for 10 mins or so to cool down, you know, do a quick streak round the house or something.

At times though, especially when you have big things on (such as, for example exams!) nothing will really help. Take heart that you will still get sleep - people always overestimate how much time they are awake.

Anyway, now that the exams are over it is time to PARTAAAY! so you wont be wanting sleep anyway!

Howdy CO,

I don't think you need the official 1.1 patch if you have the 2 disk version of PST.

Spellhold Studios have some goodies too.

Go kick some Sigil boo-tay

I seem to sleep better in hot weather than in cool weather, for some reason. But when we had a heatwave of over 40 degrees Celsius for about five days in a row, that was hard. Hopefully it will get better after the exams, because it probably won't get better before, unfortunately.

Gah... Dead on my feet... I need to start getting used to this. *Curls up in the corner with M&M bags and falls asleep*

Evening all.
I haven't slept for over 24 hours, haven't eaten much and have just been sick several times. I am now going in to help build giant model pterosaurs with Mark Witton.

I am doomed.

Hope you're all doing better.

[Wolf Rider2]

I feel so sorry for you DS. Although saying that won't help. Hmmmm. We must solve this mystifying conundrum.

Oh, happy first of June to you all.
