I just cant sleep, I have shut down my computer but ended up powering it back on. Here I am again, writing topics and answering discussions. Am I going to get paid? not so sure about that.Here I am burning my time and talk about anything that comes into my mind. I had two cups of coffee and now the sleep wont bid good bye yet. I have to make more money, I want to write and write till the dawn breaks in my window. How lonely is the night and your company is computer, All you can hear is tick and tack of your key pad.

If you want to have a good night's sleep then you should turn the computer off an hour before you go to bed. That is my experience anyway. My mind continues to buzz and even if the bed and my feet are warm sleep is not going to come my way. There is something about Mylot which is compelling, there is always another discussion waiting to be answered and to receive our words of wisdom, but we will do better if we get some sleep. A little self denial is called for I am afraid. It is still some way off the end of the month target so perhaps you should save your night time activity until you have the excuse of a deadline. Then your mind will be doubly alert! One thing you do not need to worry about is whether you will get apid. If that $10 is earned by the end of the month they will dutifully send it to you. I presume that the night time coffee is de-caf otherwise you will be fighting a losing battle with caffeine. Now I am going to take my own advice and switch off because I want to sleep soundly in an hour's time. Goodnight and sweet dreams.

Hi, When a lot is going on in our mind and the things that needs to be done calls from across the bed, then it is time to get up and start working. Same here, I had this problem of a very short SATA power supply cord that the HDD and the DVD writer cannot coexist for lack of power source of one thereof. Then, as I was about to give up on this complex problem: to find another PSU or to find one IDE component, which under the circumstances is twenty five kilometers and a few hundred dollars more, close to midnight, had to think it over in the morning. Then as I was about to drift, the solution hit me in a flash of inspiration: cut the short wires, reconnect them with longer ones, and reseal the new connections with electrical tape. At two o'clock in the morning, I have a new operating system, installed a brand new 500GB SATA HDD, and a SATA DVD drive.

Hi rog022, You know what? I am laughing on my self while reading your post, its not because i find you weird. I am an IT graduate, i graduated last 5 years. I just cant remember some of the technical terms we use and even troubleshooting a computer I dont know .( i should blame my teacher for that because he doesn't teach us and just let us do home work and usually he doesn't conduct classes on that subject). However I was able to graduate with getting good grades on some subject. Back to your response, Yes when we get a rest we figure out possible things. Its good to give ourselves a rest when we dont know what to do. :) Thank you for sharing. :)

First of all you should slow music after that you should sit the sofa and listen to Show music. You shouldn't play computer. If you play computer you don't sleep. You make herbal tea. You should herbal tea. You relieved by the herbal tea. Secondly you can close the loses. The dark place is sleep to come. You might sleep in time.

Sometimes I feel the same thing as you. My mind was so drain and can't think of anything else other than how can I make more money. However, there were times that I couldn't think what to write and doesn't know how to start a discussion. just felt empty. I used to sit in front of the computer and wondering sometimes what i'm gonna do to make me sleep. I will ended up going to Youtube and listening some music.

Hi bhelle7, I am full of ideas as of the moment, I feel writing and reading. I do believe in you. I do often feel lazy and I don't want to even think of anything. So I figured I will exhaust all my memory and when i feel not doing anything i will have a beauty rest. :) thanks for sharing.

Sleepless nights could really be a drag. But at least you're doing something productive instead of just tossing and turning in your bed. And even if you just earn a little, you're at least keeping your mind sharp by writing out your thoughts. When I'm in a similar situation, I imagine the tick-tack sounds of my keyboard to the ka-ching sounds of a cash register

In MyLot, whatever you write, either start a discussion, or respond, or do a task or do the research, you will be paid for it. There is no doubt. But must be wise enough to have sufficient rest and sleep. Better to calculate, if I have to remain late night and earn a dollar, but then if I have to pour many dollars against my ill health, then better I write less and survive healthily

Hi srjac0902, Ill take note of that. I was sick after that night cough hit me and a splitting head ache. So tonight I will sleep earlier. I can sleep for not less than 4hrs but not more than 8 hours a day. I get a head ache if i have less sleep or oversleep. Thank you for your advise. I will keep an eye on my health and sleep. Thank you... Happy mylotting.
