Father Problems

Post by **grimdoomer** » Thu Aug 28, 2008 4:23 pm

Well, my dad wants me to start going to bed to get ready for school, which starts wensday. Thats not a problem for me but he doesn't care. He thinks because I took a nap today that I stayed up all night, which I didn't I went to bed at 3. So tonight he says he's going to turn off the electric, and the fuse box is in his room! So I'm like so screwed, there is no way that this will put me to sleep early.

What should I do, I mean I have an Ipod Touch, but that will only last so long. I can't even watch TV, I wont even have light

Make games with fire.

It provides light and everything.

Haha yeah, that's fun, but if you think your dad's mad now, wait till you burn the house down.

Anyway, on topic. Hmm... do what da MC suggests and tell him he's a fucking asshole.

Close your eyes and eventually you will fall asleep.

Explain to him the situation from your Point of View, and ask him to let you prove it to him that you can go to bed early, tonight.

Then, do it. Go to bed.

... You fall to sleep at 3?

I think your father's right in his thinking. Start waking up earlier, going to bed earlier.

if he's freaking out because you don't go to bed in time to wake up for school, 3 isn't the best time to go to bed. i go to bed at 10:00 when there is school in the morning, wake up at 6:40

assuming you woke up at the same time i do (you probably don't but just assuming) that would be about 4 hours of sleep, you need more

although, by cutting the power to the house as a first resort i would say he is taking it to far, but that depends...has he tried to get you to go to bed earlier before?

I would assume he isn't going to go to bed at 3 when there is school, just during the summer when he isn't tired.

Do some exercise during the day and you should fall asleep easier.

During Summer I like stayed up either to 5, or untill 10am. loolll Then fell asleep, woke up about 4-6.. Then started that. I was way backwards, now that school has started, I am going to bed about 11-12.. When I can't sleep, because I took a nap, It's disastrous.. I like move around to much and get sweaty then never sleep until about 2 or 3..;-;

Then go to Barnes & Noble and drop a bit for some good reads. What grade are you going into?

Agreed. Books are great.

Good books:
Halo Series (I actually enjoyed it)
World War Z by Max Brooks
The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks
How To Survive a Robot Uprising by Daniel Wilson
MANIFESTO by dedrabbit (Seriously this book is only $4 and it's well worth it. I just started reading and I already love it)

My suggestions (in ascending order of stupidity).

Read books by candlelight.
Take sleeping pills.
Hire a hitman.

That never works because it makes my mind active.

Reading books put me to sleep easily. But that's a big problem...I love reading books and I end up pushing myself to be awake - which fails. I wake up a few hours later with the light still on and the book still open ;p Then I swithc them off and go to sleep....Awesome
