    I can report that the burger was a 6/10. Would not recommend.

    You sound like my wife. I've never had the problem myself, but she's just a chronic insomniac, so I can sympathize. She will go for days without sleep. Even when she does fall asleep sometimes it's only for an hour, and usually less.

    I can't take another month of waiting for some pics. A cg render would suffice. I'd even be happy to see a paintbrush with some royal blue on the end and a hint of Dinobot blurred in the background. Anything! We're 62 pages in and talking about insomnia and burgers now! The wait is clearly slowly driving us insane.

    At least nobody is at each other's throats. I'd rather read about insomnia & burgers than the petty arguements that go on around here on other threads. Waiting for news or pics on MP Dinobot is nerve racking, but tolable. Glad to see decent responses to the insomnia problem, had it most of my life, but learned to deal with it. Sucks there wasn't anything in the magazine about Dinobot tho.

    I get it how Geewuners feel about G1 Masterpieces which honestly the CHUG versions of most characters are good enough for me.

    I refresh like every 5 minutes in hopes of hearing news of my favourite childhood transformers character and his teased masterpiece figure.

    I'm right there with ya man, and haven't had a decent night's sleep in I don't know how long. I constantly wake up every hour or so, and most nights will lay awake in bed for hours.

    We all react to emotionally traumatising events differently but young me had particular trouble processing all the emotions caused by Dinobot's death. As you can see-
    IMG_0252.JPG
    I wasn't exactly happy about the whole situation.
    I don't know if maybe I was trying to pay respect to the character by making him resemble his most noble, battle-damaged beyond repair final moments or if I simply expressed my grief through bitter fire play in an attempt to destroy all memory of the bot I loved most so he couldn't hurt me again...
    Either way, I really need a new Dinobot figure!

    Insomnia suuuucks. I feel thy pain. I've suffered from it ever since I had kidney stones. It's like my nervous system never calmed back down from the pain or something.

    What works for me (does not constitute medical advice, do not do this without consulting a doctor, etc. etc.):
    • Increased magnesium & potassium consumption (bananas, avocados, etc. - though too much is not safe either so don't overdo it. Just make sure you're getting some in normal quantities daily via diet.)
    • Huge amount of physical activity during the day, to the point of absolute exhaustion so I can't hold my eyes open that night.
    • Sleep mask.
    • Noise cancelling headphones.
    • 11 hour recording of "box fan" white noise (downloaded from YouTube) turned up loud enough to drown out incidental sound, but not loud enough to in itself keep me "alert" to the sound.
    • Tons of cold fluids (works fine for me, as lemon juice water is part of my prescribed kidney stone treatment to keep them from coming back.)
    • A fan in the window.
    • A fan directly on me.
    • 1 and 1/2 benadryl tablets an hour before bed.
    • Doing NOTHING - no texting, no online discussion, N O T H I N G - in that one hour window while I'm winding down for sleep. Just chilling, watching a calm TV show or what have you. Reading. Etc.
    • Laying still with the fan on me, freezing to death, extremely sedated from the benadryl, I then visualize distracting, calming things. This can be literally anything. The main thing is to NOT THINK about SLEEPING or the fear or not being ABLE TO sleep.
    This has worked consistently for me for over a year now, however I still have times where I can't stay asleep for more than 5 - 6 hours if I'm not exhausted enough from activity earlier in the day.

    If something like this doesn't eventually work, in all seriousness, see a doctor. They can give you something, or refer you for a sleep study.

    You seem to be confusing this with a Fanstoys topic.
