Quality of Life > Quantity of Life.
Insomnia doesn't make you immune to sleep deprivation.
Tell me about it. But, I guess that's my problem. I don't plan on dying. Quantity is important to me atm.

Aside from the selfish childhood tendencies, the perspective and mindset of M.E. as she described in her book, was so in-line with me,
I haven't read M.E's book, but after seeing the interview she had on Dr Phil, I don't believe M.E is a psychopath at all. I strongly suspect that she actually has Borderline Personality Disorder. So, if you can relate to her as well as you're claiming, you should probably research BPD.
that I find no doubt in my mind that I exhibit psychopathic tendencies (Still not saying that I AM a psychopath).
It's possible that you may exhibit some psychopathic tendencies, though it's easy to lack remorse if you rationalized your actions and felt justified in the choices you made. There are a few other things in your posts that indicate to me you're not a psychopath, such as your empathy and the amount of focus you seem to place on the consequences of your actions. I also suspect you have a moral conscience.
With that said though, I'm not a psychologist, so I can't be certain my opinion of you is accurate.
I exhibit almost no BPD tendencies, that I can see. And I don't think M.E. does either. At least not from my interpretation of BPD and her behaviors and thoughts from the book. Other than that, I think what you're saying (regarding me) is pretty much what I've been thinking over the past couple days: Psychopathic tendencies, but not psychopathic. My desensitization is undeniable though. It worries those that know that aren't also desensitized. I trust the people who know though. They know me as a very stable-minded and nice person. If anything, they don't believe me (Not yet anyways. I might demonstrate it. One of them already tried to get me to via a death/gore video, but the video didn't work on the school computers, go figure.).
On a completely separate note, I imagine, based on your voice and the way you talk about death and violence, that you're either incredibly beautiful, or hideously ugly. I don't think there can be an in-between for you.

If only I could find the time to sleep. I'd be willing to do anything and everything I felt necessary for ascending any ladders if I just got some more sleep. But there's not enough time in the day to do all that I want to do. I feel like I'm wasting my time by sleeping. To think that a third or more of my life will be slept away is absurd.

Now, if only I could get to sleep as quickly as I used to. Looks like I gotta find the energy to work on my sleep patterns and work schedule. Thank you for the idea, it actually seems promising.
