Description pained this around february this year, when i wasn\'t able to fall asleep at night for over a month. this basically flipped my day day around, so i was only able to work properly throughout the night, and fell asleep sometime in the afternoon. it was quite unsettling not seeing daylight on a normal basis. fed up with my situation, i decided to do something artistically productive with my distress and tried to translate my recurring nocturnal worries on canvas.

and this is what came out.
acrylic paint on 60 x 30cm canvas

nomnom cryptic symbolism <3
and my own handprint in the corner.
will post progress pictures in a bit.

I like! Well, I do not like that you haven’t got sleep and had a strange day rythm, but I love the picture.

That's very cool. I've had some experience with insomnia, though not to that extent. I'm a shift worker as well so I'm always flipping my circadian rhythms, it wears on you after a while for sure. Have you tried melatonin? Probably a dumb question.

starplexus In reply to HomieBear [2011-09-05 17:24:19 +0000 UTC]

shift work must be exhausting! i can't imagine.
no, i haven't tried that, i was trying to turn my day around myself, so one lucky day i woke up at 5 AM (as opposed to going to bed at that time) and my sleeping pattern is regular ever since.
too much work and internet does that to ya!

Definitely- and caffeine as well. If you;re like me, anyways, I am super subsceptible to caffeine.

the unfortunate thing is that caffeine has hardly any effect on me it seems D:
i could drink coffee and go straight to bed. but i rather not, i really don't like the taste of coffee...
