A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

@NES It's never too late to make friends!

Good morning, everypony! I'm a bit ticked right now after what the Grammys did at the end of the show. Huge rock super rock band on stage and they get cut off.

@NES: What really annoys me is that it doesn't work that way when I'm supposed to wake up. Get woken up at 3AM by a noise? Up for an hour. Get up at 8 to go to work? I'm a zombie until like 10.

I just can't go back to sleep in general. I'm a very lightsleeper to the point of waking up near the exact same time every day.

I'm reasonably lucky, in that I can usually roll over and go right back to sleep if I get woken up. Depends on what does it, really. Like, waking up from a nightmare it'll take me a few minutes to relax enough to get back to sleep, but ifi t's just a noise I'm not typically aware enough upon just waking up to be concerned.

Unfortunately, that does mean that I spend an hour or so with my brain begging to go back to sleep, depending on how much I've gotten. after a solid 8 hours I'm usually okay after a nice hot shower, but given that my work schedule has me up and to bed really early, I have bad bedtime discipline...

I'm terrible at falling asleep; my brain refuses to just shut up.

I've found the trick is to busy myself before going to bed. I spend most of my evenings either writing, or working on design documentation. Exhausts the brain, makes it easier to relax come time to go to sleep.

That, and doing those things relaxes me in general. If I'm not doing something I feel vaguely like I'm wasting time, and going to bed guilty isn't exactly conducive to restful sleep.

I fall asleep relatively easily (within an hour) assuming I can actually get myself to go to bed. The worse I feel, the less likely that is to happen, though.

I think the ease of falling asleep depends on when you go to bed, how tired you are, and what you were doing before going to bed.

Whenever I have work, I don't fall asleep because I still have the adrenaline. It goes away at 2 in the morning where I collapse.

I'm okay at going to sleep, but when it comes to waking up, I usually wake up early due to noise or something but my eyes and my body are too achy for me to actually get up, but it's hard for me to get back to sleep, so I waste an hour or so lying in bed until I'm not all achy.

On the topic of fan fics, I really need to write more of mine. I didn't work on it at all over the weekend.

I fall asleep easier on buses and trains for some strange reason or other.

@Ike Same with mine. I have two bad fanfics I found so two more chapters! Also, I have a 30 Rock fanfic which has laid dormant for a whole year. I have the story outline for it, I know what to do, I just don't know HOW.

@crimson I wouldn't sleep if Luna was around. I'd just sit beside her, containing my glee.

@Ace I don't know, it happens to me. The only reason I don't is because I'm afraid of missing my stop.

@Crimson: Busy making grilled cheese sandwiches, probably.

@Ace: Yeah, I can fall asleep in a car really easily. Planes, sort of, but the inability to recline the seat back more than a few inches usually undermines it.

I would be too scared to sleep if Luna was around. I wouldn't want her walking in on my dreams.

If Luna were here is be freaking out and glomping her to death.

I didn't work on it at all over the weekend.

Neither did I, unless you count reading other fanfics as work.

@Luna being in the vicinity: I know it'd be unlikely, but I'd be perfectly fine to drift off to slumber in her presence, lest she needs me awake.

One moment while I go for lunch.

If Luna showed up while I was trying to sleep, I think I'd be a bit too distracted to actually get any rest in.

But she couldn't show up unless you were actually dreaming anyway, could she?
