Phanatic posted:Melatonin is probably the least favorite thing I've ever taken. I know it's supposed to send the "you're tired and need to sleep" signal to your brain, and 2.5 mg of it sure as hell worked great at that, but I still had insomnia and couldn't actually sleep. But now I was tired enough for the insomnia to feel about 100x worse. Felt awful.

I used to scream and hit things in my sleep My wife and I went to Cambodia a few years back and they gave us Malarone (atovaquone and proguanil, anti malarial) to take every day, which made her dreams insane. Then when we got home she couldn't sleep because of Malarone withdrawal insomnia, which is apparently a thing. So the doc gave her melatonin to sleep, which she took once, stopping after she woke up convinced I was trying to kill her. She hit me in the head with a metal drink bottle.

That was PROBABLY more from the antimalarial than the melatonin, those things can have some completely insane side effects

Yeah I remember coming back from a late night guard shift on mefloquine Monday and trying to get to sleep with everyone already racked out and yelling in their sleep and being all loving weird. Bonus points if the rear end in a top hat you woke up tries to fight you in his confusion as he comes to from his night terror.

To this day I can't sleep more than three continuous hours in a night. I blame Mefloquine Mondays. It's what I'm doing now in fact. Go to bed and sleep for three hours, wake up and read for a couple hours then hope to get a nap in before the alarm goes off. Doesn't work and I haven't gotten a decent night's sleep since.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have tried them all and weed worked the best giving me five hours. It's out now as I am subject to testing for work. Those sleep aids knock me out but I still wake up a couple hours later twitching and groggy, which lasts deep into the next day. Hey at least I never got malaria!!

Drug tests suck. I am glad that I no longer have to be piss tested. I have had to poo poo while doing that once. It is embarrassing. Especially when he gags but has to watch.

The guy here at Osan has a poo poo ton of bootleg movies so people who get selected/volunteer get to watch those all day. I'd look at ten total minutes of penis for eight hours of movies and dicking around on my phone during the work week. Last time I got picked to piss, I spent about 3 and a half hours sloooowly sipping the smallest possible amounts of water, and watching Captain America 3 and the VVitch. Waste my time I'll waste yours.

When I was at Scott, I always seemed to get called in for piss tests right after I had just gone to the bathroom while at work. And then things got worse at Edwards because like 90% of those tests happened right after a night shift. I'd have to stick around for another hour or so, and they only changed things about a month before I got out.

I ended up doing this a lot for awhile at one unit, I just stood in the room and let them piss in peace. If someone rigged up a bladder thing to skirt around a drug test then good for them because it's whatever man.

If someone managed to rig up some kind of clean piss contraptions and not get piss all over themselves, and also obtain some clean piss, all within the mandatory two hours or whatever of reporting time? Gotta give them mad props for ingenuity. PROMOTE NOW!

I went with USAA for my home loan because I'm a huge goddamned idiot and it had been the most painful, stupid, infuriating experience I've had outside the realm of the military. Have you ever had to explain to your lender that you don't work for your payroll company? Three times?

Yeah, kinda surprised. USAA has always been the most helpful and responsive financial institution I've ever dealt with. But I've only ever done banking and insurance with them, maybe the loan department is different?

I was surprised too, but if you look up the reviews the main complaint is they go so slowly until they miss closing dates and get contracts nulled, so sellers move on. They kept sending massive email chains with gigantic signature blocks too, which were loving infuriating glean information from.

Yep. They also have this painful document routing system where it takes a minimum of three days for whoever you are talking to on the phone to get the e-mail you just sent. But, hey, at least the slowdown helped me get out of a contract on a house riddled with mold on the inside. That's harnessing the power of idiots. There is no feeling of relief quite like finding out that you made a major screw up, but you can cover it up because someone else hosed up harder.

Well that's certainly a story. Had a partner at work tell me stories about jerking off at night while wearing NV goggles attempting to hit mice with his splooge on duty.

It's me, I'm the idiot. I went to Standing Rock because I'm a big dumb retard who believes the police should not spray people with water in freezing temperatures. The veterans event was a complete mess and I don't even know where to start.
