I'll sleep when I'm dead!
 
I've come to notice that ever since college I run on five hours of sleep. o.o Every day my roommate and I stay up doing artwork/homework/bs-ing till about 3 in the morning, then get up at 8 for classes. I don't even need caffine! Heck, we do laundry at 12 am XD It just seems at night I can squeeze out a few more drawings, or finish another project, stuff like that. Time is precious and very lacking!

I'm just wondering, am I the only night owl around or are there normal people who enjoy 8 hours of sleep a night (Like my boyfriend, I call him an old man for going to bed at 11).

Sleep.
 
I can't function on five hours asleep. No way. If I'm even able to get out of bed in the first place, I'll probably end up falling asleep sometime during the day. I stay up until around 3:00 AM usually. Sometimes later. But I don't wake up until like 2:00 PM.

:lol: I am a night owl.
I live on about 3-4 hours
of sleep wake up at 7:30 am
after going to bed at 3-4am.
My daughter wakes me up, I
remember when i used to sleep
24-7! Used to love sleep, now
it seems like an unnecessary
thing to do. haha

I can't even think why anyone
would need 8 hours of sleep. D:
After not sleeping that much in
a long time it seems weird when
I know people who sleep that and
more.

I'm either a night owl or a sloth.

There are periods of time where I stay up all night until morning and don't get much sleep, and then there are times when I sleep 14-16 hours a day. I'll probably be a night owl when I go to collge. Partypartyparty and procrastinate assignments like usual and have to pull an all-nighter on the last day. :lol:

I once ran on caffine and sugar for 24 hours without sleep. It was fun but I don't think I'll be doing it again in a hurry. I run on very few hours sleep anyway then I have to go to school which I could fall asleep in but I never do.

Erathene 03-01-2008 09:55 AM

I like my sleep, but yeah, if I can get a bit more work done or finish something off, then I'll stay up :3
I usually get around 8 or 9 hours, and I may feel tired, but I can function without caffine. I can push it to 7 hours and still get up in the mornings, but if I get too tired I get seriously bad headaches D;

mystic kiwi 03-01-2008 09:58 AM

I normally run on three to five hours of sleep. I work until 10 at night then get up around 4am to work again the next day so I'm used to not sleeping at all. Through high school, I always got like three hours of sleep too so I got used to staying up all night then so I guess it just kinda carried over from there.

I can't say that I can survive on only five hours of sleep, but I am a night owl. It's so hard to go to bed at night, even when I am tired. It's the only time I have to myself to do the things that I enjoy doing. I'm one of those people who has to have their "me" time so it's hard for me to give that up.
When I was in school I got so little sleep. I'd fall asleep between two and four am, get up at six, get home around 12:30pm and nap if I had time, then I'd be babysitting. It hit a point where I had the kids in a routine of taking naps, and I would nap when they did. Then I'd be up until 2-4am doing homework and studying.

I guess I could survive on five hours of sleep if I had to, but I couldn't do it every night. I totally understand about being able to get things done at night though.
Like right now, I'm getting things done online and my boyfriend is asleep in the other room.

Cruu 03-01-2008 10:51 AM

I don't need much sleep to get going, just like you. I think I go on about five or six hours if I really have to. :P!

But, considering I don't do much, I tend to just lay around in bed for about 12-14 hours of the day.

My Cup Of Chai 03-01-2008 11:21 AM


Sounds about how my early college years went. x3 Now I can't really go without sleep. I guess that's a sign of getting old? 0.0;;

I'm still very much a night owl though....such as being on Mene at... *looks at clock*..five o'clock in the morning. xD

My natural schedule is pretty much "backwards" I'd much rather sleep during the day and do stuff at night. x3


memarcus 03-01-2008 11:22 AM

i'm totally a night owl myself. i sleep when i have to and wake up when i have to, but honestly i'm usually up all night. i like the quiet and solitude night brings, and i'm mostly too active and energetic at night to sleep anyways. i mostly get my rest when i can during the day.

Risque 03-01-2008 11:49 AM

It's awful...I'm 14 and only get about 5-6 hours of sleep on days when I have school, though it's all my fault for being a poor time manager.
Still, I'm awful when it comes to sleep times.

Hell, today I passed out on my bed around 8 pm. And woke up around 2 am; the time now is 3:50..
That tells you something. :lol:

Aeisha 03-01-2008 11:55 AM

Sometimes I stay up till all hours of the night and have about 5 hours of sleep. I seem to be alright as well though a little sleepy but I manage to get through the day with just about as much focus. I think though that you may get more done at 1 am in the morning because there aren't as many distractions, Sort of.

juniper_silver 03-01-2008 03:32 PM

My sleep varies. I go to bed anywhere from 10pm to 2am, but always get up around 8am. So I get anywhere from 6 to 10 hours of sleep. Yes, 10 hours. I can be really lazy sometimes. Sometimes I take naps during the day too. :oops:

Maria-Minamino 03-01-2008 03:36 PM

I've been like that all my life - I used to get up at 5:30 for my 7:30 class in highschool - even though I would stay up til 1 in the morning. lol - I was always tired and yet I managed. I still manage - although I do sleep a bit more than I used too - but not by much - now that I'm in college I get up at 6:30 - so I get about an hour more sleep than in highschool lol

Sapphire Clouds 03-01-2008 03:43 PM

It's actually very weird for me. I noticed that, the more hours I sleep, the more tired I am. It makes absolutely no sense, and usually results to sleeping for 5 hours and feeling refreshed, versus sleeping 8 and feeling like crap.

I am such a night owl though. I do not usually feel tired at night, usually during the day. Then I take a quick nap, and I am set until the early morning. Maybe it's cheating, but I function better like that.

[L]ove[H]ate 03-01-2008 04:49 PM

Haha I got to bed early on weekdays because I'll be a grump. I could probably stay up but I'd get really irritating to be around.

Yeah 03-01-2008 06:19 PM

I used to be able to sit up half the night and get up and go to work in the morning, not anymore. It seems the older I get, the more sleep I need. Enjoy it while you can.

[ ` K i r e ] 03-01-2008 06:24 PM

I can go to bed around 2 and wake up at 7 =D
5 hours of sleep! It is just that I FUCKING HATE morning.

Sadistix_Love 03-01-2008 06:45 PM

Lol, I get about 8 hours of sleep each night but that is not enough. DD8 Sucks so much because that is not enough! I drag myself out of bed most of the time at 7 am to take a shower. Then I have go take my sister to school then catch the bus. Once I get to class, I literally fall asleep. Dx

Ayla 03-01-2008 07:01 PM

I feel the same way. I seem to be able to get more down at night. I think it's because I work better under pressure... like if something's due the next day, I'll get on my ass to actually work on it. If I have a week to do it, I'll just goof off and not concentrate as much... sort of like now when I'm supposed to be writing a paper. XDD

I usually get like 7-8 hours of sleep though normally. I fall asleep in class if I get any less. Though, I usually end up with only 6 hours if I have a project or paper due the next day. XP

I love sleep though. XDDD I like to sleep alot on weekends and holidays (like 10-12 hours?).

Jali 03-01-2008 07:27 PM

I hate wasting time with sleep, but sometimes I just LOVE sleep.
It just feels so nice sometimes. @@;;
For the past week i've taken a couple of short naps after getting home from school, even though they just seem to make me more tired when I get back up.
My bed is just OH SO COMFY. ><;
If i'm doing something at night, I could stay up forever, but if i'm laying in bed watching tv, I wont be able to stay up too long.

I am definitely more of a night person though, i'm always in a much better mood at night and active then I am in the early day.
I could sleep in until like 1:00PM if my boyfriend wasn't to wake me up.

To whoever can go to bed way late and wake up early normally, you're very lucky!


Dystopia 03-01-2008 08:03 PM

I really want to have 8 hours of sleep, but my brain won't let me. It just has to think of random thoughts when I want to sleep, and since I have to wake up early in the morning, I end up with like... Seven, six hours of sleep. Then I nap when I come back from school, or even in Spanish class. Which explains why the only class I have a B in is Spanish. *growls*

~PrincessSerenity~ 03-01-2008 11:11 PM

I've been a night owl all of my life. It seems like the longer I sleep the more grumpier I am. Once I went to bed at midnight and got up at five and I was fine the whole day. The next day I did the same only getting up at six and I was grumpy and sleepy. It's very strange.
