It wasn't a poll, of course, but wasn't there a discussion about this some months ago? EDIT: Okay, seems it was a poll: http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=002658 Again, just for the record, I usually go to bed around midnight and sleep for nine to ten hours. And when I get up, 700 virgins serve me freshly squeezed orange juice in a golden goblet. I get a fresh supply of them every day. EDIT #2: Based on what I just wrote, I guess the answer to "How much sleep do I get every night?" should be "Still not enough." EDIT #3: I thought about deleting the contents of Edit #2 but figured "Why not?" EDIT #4: Deleted some of the contents of EDIT #3. Maybe it's time for me to go to bed before I really type something that I'll regret in the morning? EDIT #5: Deleted the contents of EDITs #3 and #4. EDIT #6: And then put them back in. Then went to bed. EDIT #7: Okay. Didn't go to bed. Came back and changed a few things everywhere but in EDIT #7.

Yes, there was some kind of sleep related thread. There have been a lot of threads lately, but recently there has been an increase in polling. I think that polls are evil, and should be stopped. Or maybe the creators of polls should be taken out and shot. That way I could be unaware of other peoples opinions, and remain superior within my own. *this message is spamsored by fake porcine product* Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

I wasn't the one to post it. However, during vacation (like the past summer) I did go to bed around 10:00 AM. Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |

Another good reason to go to bed at 10 in the morning would be if you worked the graveyard shift at, for instance, a graveyard. You know, just like someone out of a Lovecraft story. Dragging yourself home after a late night of bodysnatching and unspeakable ceremonies.

I protest! There's no 19:00 PM on there! Oh, who am I fooling? Midnight to 2:00 AM, depending on whether I have to get up at 5:00 AM next morning to catch a train, or at 6:45 to get in a quick shower before work.

This is from the last thread. I've changed a little of it around to fit my current habits... ----- I voted for three hours sleep. I don't tend to sleep at regular times, and that's just an average of all the sleep I had this week divided by seven. I can go one or two days without sleep, but then have 8 or 9 hours in one go. I haven't done this for a while though - I'm trying to normalise myself, so that I'm not so anti-social. None of that is caffeine related. It's probably a mental condition, but since it doesn't interfere with my grades, or my health in any (noticeable) way, I haven't seen a doctor. It does have one great side effect though - really vivid, lucid dreams. An interesting sidenote - Margaret Thatcher used to get just 4 hours a night! ----- Lately, I've been sleeping for 4 or 5 hours a day, but usually in one-or-two hour spurts, in what I like to call "Power Naps". There is far too much beauty in the world to sleep through. And looking at the stars is one of my favourite pastimes. -------------------- "I am a living sign..." Thus endeth this post.

Copy and Paste: I mostly get 5 or 6 hours of sleep during week days, and 10 during weekends. Though on vacation I get as little as 3 or 4 hours of sleep. Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |

I sleep 1-2 hours a night. None of this has to do with too much caffeine. I just don't get tired easily and am usually very awake. -------------------- If anyone ever asks you why you did something, say "Because I could". Posts: 834 | Registered: Thursday, July 8 2004 07:00 |

I answered sleeping 12 hours, going to bed at 4am. That's what I've been doing lately. But I don't really have a schedule, so I can't give a proper answer. For a good chunk of the last few years, I averaged 13-14 hours or so, and would go to sleep between 8am and 11am. These days, when I'm not working, I seem to have settled into the "schedule" I voted. When I'm working, I get 3 to 6 hours of sleep a night. As for -when- I sleep, it depends, because I work 12 hour shifts and I'm on call, so it varies a lot. quote:Maybe we should make a poll, asking people if they think we should stop making polls? :D quote:Around 10am is one of my favorite times to go to sleep. quote:Sleeping 24 hours is one of my life's goals. I've managed 22-23 hours because I was sick, once. The most I've managed without being sick was 20-21 hours. -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 | Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00 |
