I do tend to sleep more on the weekends, but I often end up essentially forcing myself to sleep come Sunday night.
Sleep is fun if you do it right. Cozy blankets, a cuddle partner or a cat or two make sleeping a good investment :)
Most non-American folks have a midday nap. I'm seriously considering instituting one personally b/c i'm around 4/hrs a night
My memory has been almost killed, i cant sleep well at night due to irregular sleeping patterns that i had as well productivity has gone downwards since i started feeling sleepy the next entire day. Less sleep might get u a spike in productivity but it wont hold much in long term.
I strongly advice people to sleep for a minimum of 7 hrs, not more than 9 hrs with a same time pattern.
3-4 hour a night people (all 4 of you(•)): what the heck? For how long have you slept this little? Is that natural, or are you pushing yourself (for some reason)? Do you feel awake right now, or has reality become some sort of weird half-awake, half-asleep fantasia? (•)as of this writing
I sleep 5~9am typically, and function fine if this is the case. If something requires me to wake up earlier than 9 it kills me for a few days. It's aslo near impossible to sleep before ~4am and some nights I'm unable to sleep at all.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
As long as I can remember. Even very young, I would just read at night rather than sleep. Sometimes I crash and sleep for 5-6, once or twice I've slept more after going a few days without sleep. I have always seen sleep as one of the biggest problems with life. If we could cure it, our effective lifespans would increase. So it's possible my sleeping habits are partly psychosomatic.
By the way throughout highschool I only slept two hours, midnight to 2am. It seemed to me that if you wake up before reaching your REM cycle you do not feel tired.
Anyway, the take-away I'm getting from your reply is that you are deliberately "sleep deprived", i.e., that you are driven, philosophically, to keep sleep to a physiological minimum.
(Which tempts me, strongly, to view your sleep-deprivation (quote, unquote) as something akin to chronic drug use and/or anorexia.‡
((‡ I might be way off-base here, of course.))
Made school nearly impossible, anyway.
college student double majoring in business / CS , 5-6 hours a night. Def. think / aware that 8 hours = more productive though!
Yeah, I am a CS student too... Hope after finishing my degree I will get enough sleep.
