Ahh, the topic of sleep. My favourite.
Well, all nighters are a regular occurance for me. I do em mostly cause i need to get work done that i didnt do that day cause of my annoying family. Longest time awake: 40 hours. Not insane, but its respectable. What have i discovered? The first 16 hours are a breeze. Between 16-18 hours, theres a major crash. You have no energy, and its tough to concentrate. that lasts maybe 3 hours. After that, your good for at least 10 hours. Longer if you can stay active, but your in a kinda daze. Almost if youve been drinking. Another crash at about 30 hours, and then its the same routine. If you can make it to like 35, your not even tired anymore. Welcome to insomnia. You have to actually try to go to sleep. Youll keep getting that crash every 10-15 hours, but its not as bad each time. You do however feel like crap, and cant really think straight unless you get into the zone. However, ive found that i do some of my best work in the zone with no sleep. I can concentrate extremely well, but only on 1 thing, and if i get sidetracked at all, its all over. Anyways, thats my personal experience of sleep. I tend to sleep a lot given the chance, but i dont usually get any more than 7 hours a night on week days. I might get upwards of 12 on weekends though. Ahahahahahah that guy with the rice krispy square... funny shit. That reminds me of the time i was at a sleep over, and my friend fell asleep so we decided to manually feed him some chips in his sleep. Getting them into his mouth was tough, but once they were in, he would chew and swallow.... it was HILARIOUS! And, we also fed him mints. He would crunch those. When he woke up and realized what we were doing... he just finished the mouthful and went back to sleep. |

I never pulled an all nighter before. The latest I've stayed up is probably 5-6AM. Lately I've had a screwed sleeping schedule due to this guy that I don't even know if I like enough to keep up on the phone that late with, well the latest was like 4 but still. I need at least 5 hours of sleep to feel decent the next day and that includes a cup of coffee when I wake up!! Tonight we're going to test to see if I can go to bed before 2 AM, well this is to test my body to make sure it doesn't get used to staying up so late. I'm glad I dont have that 8 AM class anymore, well I do but I get to go only on test days because I told the teacher the class is too easy  . |

Originally posted by NSNickSeems like you sleep rather calmy. I probably would been rolling all over the hamburger in my sleep if I was in that scenario. 
Tarale, if he was having a job like that daily... then well, it's understandable. Some of the dreams you have over the night is sometimes related to what you done lately. :/ That's how the brain works I gusss. |

The past couple posts about food and sleep have reminded me about my own experience with that particular combination.
The night it happened, I'd brought a couple rice-krispy squares up to my room, as I'd planned on eating them before I went to sleep. Note that they were wrapped, so it wasn't exactly simple to get them open. I ended up eating one of them, and set the other on the table in front of my bed, then got to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, the wrapper for the other square was on the floor, with nothing in it. Somehow, I'd managed to find and open the package, and eat the entire square all while I was asleep 
Even now, I can still remember just barely waking up sometime early in the morning, and I could tell I had some sort of food in my mouth, but before I was able to realize what it was, I fell back asleep. That may not seem particularly interesting, but I found it pretty odd, as it's the only time anything like that has ever happened. Of course, the same thing could've happened in the past, except I didn't realize it had occurred  Anything's possible.
Anyways, it's been about 2 hours since I got back from a very frustrating shift at work (meaning I got stuck on drive-through again, and there were way too many dishes to wash) so I should be getting to sleep. 5:22 in the morning isn't too bad  |

Yes, I've had the wake-up-with-food-in-hand scenario happen, too.
Sigh. Looks like I'm not going to be getting any sleep tonight... Sad. |

Last night I made a burger right before I passed out. Apparantly, I had gotten the burger up to my lips and then passed out. Didn't even get a bite, it was just resting on my lips as I laid on my back.
Heh. |

As for the topic at hand... I really have become quite... well unhealthy in that regard.. I sleep almost nil, maybe 2-3 hours a night, am I tired, no, do I ever feel any side-effects, not really sometimes I get horrible headaches or some likeness, but nothing too serious.
Now, the reason I don't sleep isn't because I just can't sleep, oh if I wanted to I could sleep, sometimes I do sleep, but not often. The reason I don't sleep is that, I really don't think that sleeping is constructive, granted browsing the internet and looking at porn isn't too constructive either, it seems more constructive then sleeping... To sum it up, I feel sleeping, is, a waste of time. More of my sad and demented outlooks on whatever life entalis later. |

See, if I took your sense of humor as the be all and end all of what was funny, then I might care. Of course, if I took your sense of humor as any sort of serious standard, I might have to cry.
And hey, the comic is very relevant. And funny that you mention that it stretches the tables seeing as I already said that myself...so you saying it is kind of pointless. |
| Alastor Posts: 4272/8204 |
He did. He definitely did. It was weeks ago, though
Oh, but it's not funny. And it stretches the tables. |
| Thoughtless Posts: 1320/2405 |
I could swear that you already posted that comic before Sky.
Still. Second time around does not dull the brillance it is. Funny. |

You should be impressed seeing how horribly creepy that was. Next time, run away like hell from the house.  |
| Skydude Posts: 1962/2607 |
I think it says that he's not a very good lay
That reminds me of this: Sorry for stretching the tables. |
| Thoughtless Posts: 1319/2405 |
You should be scarred for life.
No doubt about it. |

I found out very recently my aunt can have sex in her sleep BUT THAT DOSN'T STOP HER BOYFRIEND. Now Iunno what happened, but she fell asleep when they did it (and I can hear everything that goes on, so I heard him exclaim "hey, don't fall asleep on me"), and he proceded to continue to have his way (walls...make noise when you bang bedframes against them), I guess she never woke up. Should I be inmpressed or really creeped out by all of this, Iunno, but...it's something I won't forget, for sure .-.;; |

Ah, the joy of spring break.
12 joyous hours of sleep last night.  |

Apparantly, my dad can talk in his sleep sometimes. Once my sister heard him say "He's afraid to go to the store, so hang him!" According to my dad, my mom just howls in her sleep.
My sister might also be sleepwalking, as my parents say they've heard get up, and walk out of her room at night, only to walk in, and get back to bed. Something my sister had no memory of doing. I don't know if I do anything in my sleep, but it might just be. |

Once I fell asleep while talking to my girlfriend (well, she's my ex now, I guess.), but I guess I continued the conversation by asking her "how did the review session go?"
But her review session was several days earlier, and I was just saying things in my sleep. |
| Tarale Posts: 759/2713 |
I talk in my sleep, I've even woken myself up doing it.... I don't know what I was in the middle of saying, but the words that woke me were "shopping trolley".
I don't think I do it often though, from my understanding it seems to be something that I do when I am very tired, stressed, or preoccupied with something. My ex used to talk (very loudly) in his sleep, and was able to hold conversations with others in his sleep. Things I have heard him say in his sleep: "you just get Telstra to get you a PAPL line. They connect your phone line at the Waymouth Exchange..." NO DON'T WARRANTY IT WITH IBM!!!! Not now, maybe later
He also answered a support call in his sleep, solved the problem and ended the phone conversation, without waking. |
