Sex was a strong drive before I was married, food was a strong urge after I was married, but the one constant since about age 15 or so is sleep. Despite being an "insomniac" sleep is the urge that, when I feel it, takes precedence. Ive gone to sleep hungry, Ive gone to sleep howny, but I have never eaten or (youknow) when my body was demanding sleep.

18 hours is my sleep record, Ive reached it about five times so far.

When I was younger and experiencing certain things for the first time, I would say sex was definitely the strongest, food was actually then near the bottom of my list, so was sleep. I very often sacrificed sleep for "(youknow)" :lol:

:eek: Wow! On a similar note my record for lack of sleep is about 74 hours. My record for being asleep is probably around 14 or 15. I genrally find that if I get more than 9 hours I wake up feeling kind of groggy and lousy...

- Narz :king:
 
My record for sleep is 31 hours, but that was medication induced. I'm told I got up once to eat and go to the bathroom during that time, but I have no recollection of doing it. I figure my concious mind was still asleep while my subconcious mind took care of basic needs.
 
I heard about the "sleep diet" in the film the Tao of Steve and gave it a shot. You can lose alot of weight if you commit to sleeping as frequently as possible. Things to avoid if you want to get alot of sleep include the CFC forums and the game Civ, caffeine, protein/fat, and of course don't schedule work or school in.

Read books laying down, take hot baths, and if you can get (youknow), take it. Eat breakfast cereal anytime you are really hungry.

Switch- I do alot of things without recollecting, with my subconscious doing the work - some posts I write, in fact!!!
 
Sex, I suppose.

Don't really care for food or sleep, just do them to keep me alive.
 
Definately food

I've tried to starve myself to attract a mate... I only got a few hours :(

And it's *looks at clock* 5:10am right now... what is this sleep that you speak of? I only sleep maybe 4 to 6 hours a day

And adreniline junkie? Are you kidding me? There's a reason I tried to starve myself to attract a mate, and it sure as hell wasn't because I'm an adreniline junkie

And I don't believe much in deadened urges. We like to tell ourselves we have evolved and that we are civil... but what is it? 2 or 3 cromosones in our DNA separates us from wild animals :) Our instincts are far from dead :)

Primal Urges? They are mostly deadened by the stress & pressure of modern life, I do nothing but eek out a living (or mooch off of parents, etc.) and post on this forum...
That option.

That is actually all I do at the moment becuase i'm recovering from glandular fever and i'm simply too tired to go out or anything.

In the past 3 weeks I have been out of my house 4 times....to go to the doctors (and once to the hospital).

Massive sympathy Comrade Davo. I had been wondering why I wasn't seeing your posts around lately. Feel better and get plenty of sleep. The Revolution needs you!
 
Narz...I recommend Anglagard, Par Lindh Project, Shylock (from 1970s), Stereolab (for cycling) and David Bowie Earthling & Outside.
 
I used to be a heavy drinker, but now I loathe drunkeness. I do still appreciate a good glass of wine now and then.

My latest passion, probably stemming from working in a fine French restaurant, has been food.

And nobody does it better than the French. :D

I agree with Hitro, Freud was a coke-sniffing quack.

thanks:)
 
My most primal urge is to strike out and destroy all that is around me. Followed by resting, eating and sex.
