I just want some input on this.

I am addicted to Res, right? As you do.

But I'm also very very tired, and I want sleep.

I have no idea how they mixed, at all, but they did, and now I can't sleep, and all I want to do is play Res.

This technique is very tiring, and I hate being deprived of my precious sleep.

But I hate being away from Res.

Inputs please?

Set your Internet to turn off at a certain hour if you have to. Mine shuts off at one o'clock every night, and it's helped TONS. I rarely stay up past then anymore, and I feel a lot better.

Seriously. Sleep is important. o: You really, really don't wanna end up like I was a couple years ago. Slipping grades and fallin' asleep all over the place and everything.. It was terrible.

Try soothing sounds. I once went on a rampage through YouTube and had three tabs at once. One was ocean sounds, one was whale-song, and the other was just this really sweet, soft harp music. I woke up with my face on my keyboard not recalling anything. I think... Yeah, about five minutes of that combination put me out. Cold.

It was hilarious.

Kay, thanks guys.

zozane: I'm starting to not listen, and I wake up to the teacher yelling at me now.

Gorge: I've tried that, won't work.

yoshi: Tried. Dad made it turn off at a certain time, and he can't stop me going on. I think I might have to leave.

reina: I'll try that!

Make a schedule. 

Usally we have 14 hours a day if you say 11 Res Time to 11 Res Time. Don't waste your day on the computer stay on at the most 5 hours.

Tell youself to go on the computer at 11 or 12 Res Time for a hour then get off and go outside and exercise, spend time with your family.

Then you can go on again around 3 Res Time for 2 hours or lower. Then get off and read a book or something, don't find another electronic and watch it or use it. It is terrrible for your eyes.

Then around 6 Res Time go on for a hour. Then get off and do something.

Then at around 10 or 11 Res Time go on for one hour, then go to sleep or do something else.

If you still cant do it because you don't have anything to push you to get off, then think of your health and what your family might think of you if you blow them off and go on to the computer.

I made the wrong choice doing that, I am usally never like this. Maybe it's because it's Summer and there is nothing to occupy you. Don't think you are completley addicted, it's probably because of Summer.

I am usally always around Res, at home my computer is in the corner of my kitchen so right when I leave my room the computer is staring at me, drawing me in. When I go to my friends house they always play Res so I do to. Of course I have a phone that has Internet too!

It's hard but you can do it, I know you can.<3 

mabe you can find things more fun.like whatching tv.mabe get a nightmask and turn on the fan to make nice sounds.turn off your computer during the day and go to bed earlyer.before you go to bed read a chapter of a book

at  night relax andif you are not  tired read another chapter.try to limit yourself say 3 or 4 hours on res.after 6:00 try not to play res. 

Mars: One, thats good advice, 2, it's winter here. <33

dogpaw: Thanks!

I have this issue too. I LOVE THE SITE AND ALL YOU GUYS SO DARN MUCH.

So, what I do is make it a requirement of myself to complete some other task/responsibility/whatever before I come on Res for playtime - that's my reward.

For example, today:

• Picked up all the dirty clothes on my floor [yes, I still throw clothes on the floor at my age!]
• Signed on to Res and did my daily checks of Support-related things
• Let the dog out, fed the mice, fed the snake
• Came back to Res, checked stocks, merchant shop till, looked at blogs, just goofed off for a bit
• Paid the bills
• Made a grocery shopping list
• Back to Res for work and play!

I didn't really have a lot to do today, but you get the idea. Also, it is good for your health to get up from the computer and walk around every so often. Helps prevent blood clots and other potential health issues. Getting into the habit of getting up and walking around your house or the yard or whatever every 30 minutes or so is a good way to remove yourself from the distraction and get something else done so you can RUSH BACK HERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE TO GET YOUR RES-FIX.

:D 

Really though, I hope you find a solution that works for you. I used to spend as much as 18+ hours a day on here...at home, at work, in Office Depot...lol 

I used to have that problem before. But I got over it. Don't know how. xD;

I guess I rediscovered reading and TV. o3o

Not much for me to do here besides lurk forums.

All I can really do can be done within one hour: hatch eggs, check stocks, do the freebie games, post on forums. And that's it. xD 

It's still summer for me, so I stay up as long as I want. xDD I'm a night owl now. O_O I need to fix that. Anyways, once school starts, I'll probably never be able to get on Res. D: I'd probably be able to abandon Res, provided someone in RL gave me a reward if I did so. :3

Mirror: Thanks SO MUCH for the advice, it has helped me tremendously. I have no problem with this anymore.

Jenny: I could do that too.

Uh, dogpaw, please change your siggy.

It stretches the page.
