I had a nice bout of sleep from 8 o'clock til now, an hour after midnight. I don't know how I get fully awake after only about five hours of sleep now, but that's besides the matter.

Some of you may know what I'm talking about, some of you might not. I've never talked to anyone about this, nor have I surveyed a group of people. Google results just turned into casual things, none of them even relevant to what I want to know.

I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep because there was a ringing in my ears.... or is it my head? The more I focus on this ringing, the more present it feels; it gets louder and it doesn't stop. Is it just me? I very much doubt it, even though I'm the only person I know who goes through this.

I'm thinking what I'm typing is obscure as hell, so here's something relevant to what I'm talking about. Have you ever seen pitch black darkness? In a technical sense, I probably have, yes. But in my head, I see little specks of purple, of green, subtle colors. Do a little test on yourself. Close your eyes now and cover them with the palm of your hand. Is there complete darkness? Or is there what I had just tried to visualize?

I have it, I also see specks of purple etc with my eyes closed, I know what you're talking about and I'm sure its common.

Thanks for the link. I never knew there was a name for it.
Coming from the Wikipedia article itself:
"The term "tinnitus" usually refers to more severe cases. Heller and Bergman (1953) conducted a study of 100 tinnitus-free university students placed in an anechoic chamber, and found 93% reported hearing a buzzing, pulsing or whistling sound. Cohort studies have demonstrated damage to hearing (among other health effects) from unnatural levels of noise exposure is very widespread in industrialized countries."

I think I'd be among those students, you know. Tinnitus-free, but still having it bother you.

Turn your TV off.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.
