    Do you sleep?

    I sleep. Sometimes. I'm not sleeping right now...

    It's also after 2 AM. This is a bad habit I have. During the winter break, I had fully intended to get some part time job to make some extra money, aside from my GI Bill. I got sick, and then the holidays happened, and yeah. Been talking to the manager down at the gas station, who'll interview me some day, etc., but that's beside the point.

    My sleep pattern has become totally fucked up. I stayed up way late, to like 4 AM, and then slept until noon. This week, classes started again, and I was getting up at like 6:30... still going to bed like after 2. Think one morning I was awake until 3. It was pretty awesome. I'm doing this practicum thing and I'm watching this teacher and student teacher teaching these kids, and I'm dead tired, heh... Tried to take a nap before my class for the day in the building it was in, but I kept on thinking, "...what if they see me sleeping?!" So yeah.

    I thought maybe I would go to sleep a couple hours ago, but I started doing something. Tra la la.

    Some people always claim they operate regularly on like 4 hours of sleep, or even 2. I don't understand. I'm uncomfortable on just 6 hours, and with just 4 hours I start to feel sick in the stomach, heh.

    Do you sleep?

    The earliest i go to bed is 2am, even if im in work for 7am, id still go to bed at 2-3am. I find if i go earlier i end up tossing and turning, so it ends up being the same either way.

    I find i only need 4-6 hours sleep, and my body functions better with that sleep pattern.

    When i dont have to get up earlier i can sleep for up to 9-10 hours and i feel like crap for the day. I actually made the decision just the other day to set an alarm for a max of 7 hours sleep from now on..

    I think id actually prefer to go to sleep later than 4am, as im never exhausted really when hitting the hay, i just do it mainly so i dont completely fuck up the sleep pattern.

    It depends.

    Normally I can knock out between 11 and 12pm, waking up by 630 for my usual 640 poop. I shower and hop in my car for wherever I've been assigned for work. That's weekdays though.

    Weekends are a little different depending on what I did the night before, or if I worked Saturday or not. Some nights I'll take a quick nap on the couch with the gf, and that will totally fuck my sleep up for a night. I'll get home by midnight and won't be able to sleep until like 2 or 3.

    I have a sleep tracker that lets me know how much sleep I get (or don't get). I go to bed at regular times (Between 10 and 11 pm), but I find I wake up at multiple times throughout the night. Gets frustrating. I do everything I can to set myself for a good nights sleep, but no matter what I do I still wake up. I make sure all lights are off or covered. I wear earplugs to block out sound (it helps me get to sleep). I've started wearing headphones to listen to music instead lately, and that has been helping me get to sleep, but I still end up waking up between 1 and 3 am, then again at 4 or 5 every morning. Normal wake up time is supposed to be between 6 and 6:30, but I push that to 7 depending on how many times I woke up.

    Yesterday my sleep app says I got 4 hours, 23 minutes of sleep (2 hour nap not included), and last night it said I got 4 hours, 48 minutes, (4 hour nap not included) - since I was working until 4:30 AM (I've been working late nights lately), but I typically average around 7 to 7.5 hours according to the sleep app. I can function just fine with 4, but I can't make that a daily thing or I'll really start to miss sleep.

    The weird thing is I can function off an even number of hours sleep (2, 4, 6, 8), but when I get into odd numbers, my brain is in a fog for the rest of the day. Coffee is my best friend on those days. It's been that way for as long as I can remember.

    I have cut down my coffee intake. I find it's easier to do after I've been sick, which happened just after Christmas. I won't drink more than one cup of coffee a day. If I get a craving for coffee, I'll have a tea or water instead.

    I sleep whenever I'm not up all night thinking about my eyebrows. If I think too hard about my eyebrows, I become very aware of my own face, and I can't focus on anything else.

    I feel like sleep is a waste of life. Have you aver looked at this? The longer I stay awake, the more I get out of my days and the longer my life feels...

    I was thinking that since I'm artificially creating it, I'll create it with rocket fuel instead of blood, and thus it will be able to fly, using the dolphin's dorsal fins as wings. And from the air, it will look down upon us all and protect us against sharks, and search for bananas.

    But I think there have been studies that show that not getting enough sleep takes years off your life... Yer body needs the rest or whatever, ma'am.

    Not getting enough sleep is literally the worst thing you can do to your body next to a poor diet and no exercise. It's why I'm gonna die at like 40.

    I sleep little; not due to choice, exactly, but because I have insomnia.

    My whole life I have never been able to sleep much. I only get about 3-5 hours a night. As a result, I am not the healthiest person, as you might imagine. I also have terrible nightmares on a regular basis, so that, coupled with my insomnia, makes it very difficult to sleep. Sometimes I just go without sleep to evade the nightmares, but it takes its toll.

    On the other hand, staying up all night and going without sleep sometimes induces a happy-go-lucky feeling in me, so that is nice; it is a small consolation prize to poor health and nightmares, but at least it is there.

    Long story short, sleep and I are strangers.

    I barely sleep. Depending what shift I'm doing, I'm up between 6:30AM and 7:30AM. But I'm usually getting into bed six hours before I'm due to wake up. That's not six hours sleeping though. That's six hours trying to sleep, trying to get comfortable, getting comfortable and then needing to pee, deciding I could get an extra ten minute nap if I lay on my other side so my bladder doesn't hurt so much, realising decisions are conscious and that I'm not really sleeping anyway, what the fuck is that sound, why has my hand gone dead, and imagining scenarios that might not happen.

    I guess I probably get between four to six hours sleep a night, the later assuming I'm asleep the moment my head hits the pillow.

    Legit sleep better when my fiancé is over. He snores, but he's warm and snuggly. If it's a day off with him over, I can fall asleep from 10PM whilst we watch a movie and not wake up for twelve hours.

    Lack of sleep makes you age faster. Messes up your metabolism and hormone balance.
