No Sleep! No Bed!

[Sean]

I burnt myself out on functioning on 3-4 hours of sleep a long, long time ago.

When I was in high school I was always up til 1AM or later, every night, because of television shows I wanted to see, or just an inability to turn my brain off. Every morning I was up at 6:00 for school.

When I got a "real" job after high school this pattern continued, and got worse when I began working 40-50 hours a week, as well as a 12 credit hour class load AND somehow raiding 3 nights a week from 8 til midnight in WoW for a good 6 months. Every Sunday I had to be up at 3AM to be at work at 4AM, and every Saturday I left work at 9:00PM, came home and raided til midnight, and slept.....

A couple years ago I burnt out on that, and, if I have a day off, I sleep for 9-12 hours at a time, depending, if I don't have the next day off, I take a bunch of Advil PM to get to sleep pre midnight.

My "days" never start until noon, though. My class schedule, my job, everything is always noon or later. I'm not a morning person.

Once in a while I'll get 8+ hours of sleep. Most of the time, it's not more than 6.

I can function pretty normally with a minimum of 2-3 hours of sleep, though. With 2 I won't feel great, but with 3, I'll feel as if I slept normally. I do get sleepy a little earlier, though. Somewhere around 11, I'll start to get sleepy. Normally, this starts at around 1.

I once, during summer school some years ago, went a whole month on 3 hours of sleep every night. I started to feel the effects of this towards the end of that month. I started falling asleep in class and drooling on my desk... something I had never in my life done. I knew I was at my limit, but luckily, that was the last days of summer school.

I do admit that at that time, I was running off of Mountain Dew. I no longer drink that kind of stuff now, though. Soda, I mean. Or any caffeinated drinks in general. Only once in a long while.

No sleep you say. I'm used to that since high school. My body needs 4 or 5 hours of sleep and after that I'm good to go. I say 4 or 5 but I often sleep only 3 hours. That doesn't bother me at all. Yea sure I sometimes sleep on college but it's not like I listen to professors. Well it seems we all need some good sleep but I just don't have time for it. Life is short I must use every precious time I got.
