Last night I must have spent about an hour in bed having a conversation with myself in my head; just random fantasies, debates, and intense thinking. I knew that I had to get to bed for the early morning tomorrow but I just couldn't turn off my head. Anyone else have a similar problem. This happens almost every night and it's kind of annoying.

I do this at night whenever I have a boring day. I find it helpful to make sure my brain is stimulated, and do enough things that I'm physically and mentally tired at the end of the day.

Same problem here. Ermine's technique is effective. It doesn't always work for me but it's my only shot usually. It's always worse when I know I have to get up early for something.

I had more problems with sleep when I was younger. Lately, I simply do not go to bed until I am tired enough to go to sleep without much effort. I know that is not much of a pratical way of dealing with sleep issues, but its the best strategy I have devised. I also try to not think about something that I could spend a lot of time reflecting on. Once I start thinking about some weighty issue, my thoughts tend to snowball until there is absolutely no chance I'll be getting any sleep.

This happens to me a lot, too. I think best late at night when I'm trying to get to sleep...on the one hand, it's kind of nice to have my brain working and in constant motion (more so than it always is), but on the other hand I really don't get much sleep. I have a tendency to stay up about three hours every night after I decide to go to sleep because I keep myself awake thinking.

Coffee is the answer to any problem...sleep is for the weak.

I have the same problem. I also have the problem of wanting to sleep for at least 10 hours, if not 12. Functioning in 24 hour days will never be easy.

This is interesting. This happens to me in precisely the opposite situation. Whenever exciting or interesting things have happened in the day, I think about them and reflect on them. Then I get so excited sometimes I have to get out of bed and move around.

(I wonder why? Maybe being an extravert because I tend to think about things after the fact instead of before?)

I don't have a solution, my sleep patterns are horrible. Sorry :( I hope someone else can think of something to help you...

Outside your window.
Yep, same problems. As someone stated earlier, one of the main strategies is to tire yourself out mentally and physically. If you can't do that, I listen to music and make myself focus on the lyrics, though my mind trails off to other subjects.

It's not possible for a majority of INTPs to have sexual intercourse without using rape.

On the other hand (heh heh) it's difficult to rape yourself.

06h50 here and I haven't slept... another insomniac checking in.

This only displays that it's natural for an INTP to feel lonely.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Anyway I'm not an INTP so I don't have to worry about raping anyone to get laid. Instead I just walk out into the street and flash my jesusPhone and women beg me to take them then and there. *comedy drumroll*

Now that I know you're not an INTP your previous response makes much more sense.

Do you have any lice in the hair or problems in the brain?

okay to answer your question more specifically, the biggest problem is its absence

and tell them my brain is conspicuously absent from my skull? i'm not sure that would result in me getting exactly the sort of medical attention i'm looking for... though the ride in the van with the straightjacket might be entertaining

Possibly

the endeavor begins with light hearted discussion, the weather, daily lives.
me and the hobo exchange flirtatious glances and decide to go to his place.
the night is frigid but our body heat exchange helps us through.

but i get more demanded, more athletic poses. they desist

i always get my way and they submit eventually.

I slit their necks, they desist no more
