I always think about a lot of stuff but its never stopped me sleeping before lol

 

[kurosagi01]

Well maybe try sleeping like 10-12 and see if it makes any difference to your sleeping pattern.
The only time i'd be sleeping for ages is when i am late partying and drunk and if i am at home in my bed not somewhere like in my friends place in Leicester or something lol.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Ive tried sleeping as early as 12.30 -- I still wake up at around 5 or 6am

 

[kurosagi01]

Maybe do something creative like go to gym to work out,do something tire yourself out,make yourself feel tired and look forward to sleeping.

play a game mental stress makes people tired too. so does staring at a monitor lol

did that already -- 14mile cycle. around hilly areas.

I dont have trouble falling asleep. I just cant sleep for that long

 

[Spectrum]

maybe you suffer from anxiety like i used to?

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Probably is. I might need councelling again

 

[Spectrum]

well then! as i go to sleep (yes, i am nocturnal now), I shall leave you all with this:

just recieved a 5850 through the post about 1hr ago. I have been trying to overclock it since and unfortunately my fears were correct....

the card 5850 Xtreme is like a waterd down 5850. they cut a lot of VRMs off the card to make the card 2" shorter.

Unfortunately this has had a drastic detrimental effect on the overall overclockability of the card. most of the more expensive non-ref 5850s can clock to around 920-950Mhz. I cant even clock this card to 800Mhz on the core.

my good 5850 ran at 915mhz. I havent got around to overclocking the memory on the Xtreme but Ive read that most people managed to get it over 1200mhz since the ram chips are the same ones used on a 6850.

Overall the card is still a solid performer. but due to the money saving cut backs overclockability takes one under the chin.

Luckily for me i will be using this card in crossfire. even if the card is clocked aat 790|1200 the second card can still make up for the performance loss of a lower clocked card.


this 5850 is not worthy of the 'Xtreme' tag

That is all

Having sleep problems myself too, waking up randomly in the night and not able to sleep until well past 2. But unfortunately I know perfectly what is wrong with me: exams are coming up and I am not prepared. Stupid inner conscience.

 

[cheesy999]

just stuck an extra 60cm of cold cathode and an led fan in my case

Drive for 13 hours straight. That'll knock you out...
I'm home, and I'll be going to bed soon I think!! Just gotta check the threads, reply to PM's, leave heatware for Dice (nice guy), eat, do a cuppa and smoke.

So much to do

EDIT: Sorry guys, change of plan. G'night!!!

 

[Spectrum]

play some quake III for a couple hours, that'll knock you out either that or drink some catnip tea,
it makes you sleepy

 

[Israar]

its too early in the night for tea!!

It's never too late for tea or coffee!!

i'd make you some tea... you want tetleys or PG tips?

Tetleys indefinitely haha! Two sugars, strong yet creamy, with full fat sterilised milk!

@FreedomEclipse: As for sleeping, driving is a good option, but if you fall asleep at the wheel you're utterly licking your own nuts! Although the more safer option and the one that tends to add to your sleeping cycle is reading, make sure it's a big book and interesting, that keeps you wanting to read more, so that you can't keep your eyes open or focus anymore, once your eyes shut, that's it... Lights out!

Tetley is for english wuss's Real englishman drink pgtips

Hah, if you knew me you'd know I was no English wuss -- Doesn't matter what you drink, so long as it tastes good going down

I don't like the strong taste PG Tips has personally, but if I had to choose for a second, I'd rather have that over the others haha

i prefer more... unorthodox teas catnip.. and another i shall not name here are good

 

[MightyMission]

yorkshire tea is nice for those rare occasions i have tea,usually i dose up on coffee with appalling regularity-but then an 8 month old baby is enough to keep anyone awake

get some cadbury's hot chocolate, get some dairy milk, add a chunk of dairy milk to the cadbury's powder, then add water (or milk, depending on which you prefer), and a shit load of sugar

I'd be really pissed to get a card like that. :shadedshu Why don't you return it for a refund and get a standard 5850 instead?
