Sleep Poll
-
I am a night person, meaning I find it impossible to sleep before 1am unless completely nackered, or drunk, and can get really tired in the early afternoons. Sadly I have to be up no later than 6:30am to get ready for work, so on a typical weekday I'll get between four and five hours sleep. :(

Ditto...I can't seem to get to bed till around 1am. And then I wake up at 6:30. Hey, if I lived in your time zone, I'd have plenty of time to beat you at we'd have plenty of time to play solitaire showdown. ;)
Hawaian shirts and shorts work too in Summer. People assume you're either a complete nut (in which case not a worthy target) or so damn good you don't need to worry about camouflage... -Anna-Jayne Metcalfe on Paintballing

From the "chronic insomniac" front... How many hours of sleep do you average a night (that's from the time you actually *fall* asleep, not sit there in bed staring at the ceiling) On average, I'd say I average 4-6 hours a night, leaning towards the 4 hour mark. My standard sleep cycle is from about 3am to 7am. Maybe I need to lay off the coffee... :) Jeremy Kimball

Me too - I'm normally up by 7am. Once I'm back at work in March that'll get far, far, worse though - as I'll have about 2.5 hours of dilation routine to do before getting ready for work. :sigh: Even if I get up at 5am, I'm likely to be at least half an hour late for work! Fortunately, by the time summer arrives I should be able to reduce the amount of time I have to spend on it to more manageable proportions.

Around here bas close at 1:00AM and don't reopen until 6:00, so there's not much point in being up between those hours unless I'm out fishing. The days when I could stay up for a week straight to study for finals are long gone, I'm afraid, but more than 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night is time wasted. "Your village called -

I slept from 11pm till 8am last night, and I am still frikkin tired. Weird. I normally need my 8 hours, but lately have been making up for it on the weekends (waking up at 2pm on a Saturday is really great). regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was.

Tell me about it. I hit my bed around 11 every night and wake up between 6:30 and 7:00, but I'm always tired by 2pm. I think i need to stop being such a productive employee

Haven't heard of it, but I could use it! In some strange way I never seem to have enough time to accomplish everything I want to do. I work the entire day, come home, make dinner, tend to the daily bits and pieces and next thing, I turn around and its 2 am whereby I have to get up at 6:30 - 7 am. I never understand where the time goes. If only I could just "stay awake" ALL the time. I worry about the effects of sleep deprivation though - they say at some point you start to hallucinate

I know, I did it when I was in college...didn't "see" anything, mind you, but started hearing things that weren't there, like mice running along the walls and doors creaking open and shut...VERY disturbing, to say the least Jeremy btw, heres the link to that drug: Provigil/

I would love to WaitForMultipleObjectsEx(), but I always seem to be executing EnterCriticalSection() instead... [edit]That is, unless I'm at work, in which case it's: SignalObjectAndWait()[/edit] I need to destress my damned life :P

I get around 7 hours a night, some days less some days more. I sleep retarded hours on the weekend though. Sometimes 12 hours depending on the night before.

I average from 12am to (3 or 4)am, then (5 or 6) to 7am. About 4 hours of broken sleep.:zzz::omg::zzz::sigh: I try to think but nothing happens.
