tdog 0 #4 January 6, 2007 You think it is bad tonight... You won't sleep for 6 months... (I actually did have a hard time sleeping for a long time as I was always looking forward to the next jump date....) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iluvtofly 0 #5 January 6, 2007 I was the same way. If I knew there was even the slightest chance of me jumping the next weekend I couldn't sleep all week. Even now, I haven't jumped in a little over a month. Knowing that there is a good possibility of me jumping today I had trouble sleeping last night because of the excitement.

Evelyn 0 #8 January 6, 2007 Totally normal. I couldn't sleep, eat, etc. before an AFF jump. I couldn't even conceive of doing more than one jump a day. It gets easier. Good luck! Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

two40 0 #10 January 7, 2007 hi very normal. i've done my first jump twice now and both nights were rather sleepless. i did my very first jump 5 years ago and i do recall the tossing and turning the night before. even the night before the course. i came back this weekend and night before the course i had 4 hours sleep. last night i had about 5 hours but kept waking up throughout the night. completed my jump about 3 hours ago and i'm tired but so pumped there's no way i'll be able to sleep till later on in the night. i tried to nap but it's just not happening. gl with jump and let us know how you went.

skymynci 0 #11 January 7, 2007 Definitely.....!!! I talk about it so much even my other half keeps waking up all hours 'freefalling' and he's only done 2 tandems. Your life has changed and this is all you'll ever think about from now on.... Look forward to being skint, knackered and very very hapy....bluey's mate XXX "I don't mean to harass you, but I was very impressed with the capable and stylish manner in which you dealt with that situation.

skr 1 #13 January 7, 2007 > Is it normal to not sleep the night before AFF? Probably most people don't sleep much before their early jumps, I certainly didn't. But then how many people here are normal? You have fallen into a subworld filled with interesting and colorful characters. Welcome :-) :-) Skr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnsw71 0 #14 January 7, 2007 Enjoy the nervousness while it lasts! Before you know it the biggest thing on your mind before a jump will be trying to remember to buy toilet paper at Target on the way home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
