skyyhi 0 #3 October 20, 2004 QuoteHeck, after a couple hundred you'll probably be sleeping on the plane on the way to altitude like the rest of us! I LOVE that line. . .I have actually had to wake someone up before. Anyway, welcome to the sky and enjoy your jumps. . .its a blast up there. . .________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ladybug 0 #7 October 21, 2004 I've only got 15 jumps and I'm still not sleeping. I have managed to relax a little on the plane though. Good luck through AFF, and if you can't sleep now, wait till you're planning to go out of the plane all yourself!! Dawn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeepDiver 0 #9 November 7, 2004 I woke up this morning dreaming that I was under canopy. It took me a week to get back on my sleep pattern after my first jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeordieSkydiver 0 #10 November 8, 2004 Welcome, You'll get used to the sleeping thing, although I'm so sleepy most of the time it doesn't matter. I snooze most of the time up to altitude, once my jump buddy shouted "ready, set GO" in my ear at 4000ft as I was sleeping, he's lucky I'm sleepy not stupid.

tdog 0 #11 November 8, 2004 Quote one question though.. how come i wake up each nite since my first jump after dreaming of jumping :o) They don't tell you in the books/classes to expect to lose sleep. I too did not sleep for about a month. Not nervous, but excited... I awoke this morning thinking about a fun sunset dive yesterday - and could not go back to bed... But, I will have no problem in an hour falling asleep at the office. Go figure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
