Sleep Deprivation

[Provost Harrison]

I can sleep on demand pretty much, and hell, I could sleep through a nuclear war...

...at the GAY BAR GAY BAR GAY BAR.

Have you been sniffing prittstick again Iain?

I'm currently starting to really hate my roommate, whose late night returns home have resulted in screwing up my sleep more than once. I'm going to have to corner her one day and tell her that if she has to come home when I'm sleeping at 3am, then doing the dishes and clumping around the house is not an acceptable option.

[red_jon]

It's 3.30am here.

You guys are so lucky - you talk about sleep as if you get a choice about it.

Oh yeah, and I hate you, Provost. (Don't worry, that's just my covetousness talking.)

In theory, Bodds is perfectly correct. But the best TV is on late, the best internet is on late, the best parties, clubs and bars are late, and nothing good happens in the morning apart from work, which it is perfectly acceptable to be half-asleep for.

Also, this thread was started 10 minutes after Bodd's "bed time", and he was still posting at 22:30. *cough*

The good thing about a regular sleeping pattern is that you can take one night out of it and still be able to sleep 10:30 - 7:00 the day after and the day after that: I was in Manchester until 3am Friday night..

It's 4am Sunday for me.

I haven't slept in about four days now. I stopped playing the 'if I fall asleep right now, I'll get x hours, y minutes of sleep' game exactly 92 hours and 48 minutes ago.

I wish I had better illegal drugs, but alas, the 70's are over.

I have that effect on women

I haven't slept in 30 hours and I feel fine!

Besides, I write better when I'm tired and depressed.

[st_swithin]

Not me! I feel horrible and all loopy n' fvcked up! And I'm writing unintelligibly!

But that's what editors are for - letting some poor sap write him/herself into an early grave and then cover up his/her most grievous errors in a gently ritual known as 'redlining'.

me, n. = sap;

early_grave, n. = silent_anonymity;

redlining, v. = horrible, EXCRUCIATING pain that only the editor can apply or withdraw, with impunity and permission from the author.

rewrite, n. = the polite editor's euphemism for 'Chr1st but that was a wretched pile of dung! Allow me to cover your naked a55 for you, Emperor, while I write something better for you to put your name on.'

chutzpah, n. = what your editor has when he/she's right, and the author has no choice but to agree, despite malevolent glares and death-threats.

What's wrong with going to bed at 10:00, reading for twenty minutes and then waking at 06:45? I'm becoming more and more sure that a good sleeping pattern like this one is the key to success and health.

[Starchild]

pfff. the best hours are between 7 pm and 3 a.m. and the most useless hours are 6 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Yet school, work, and society want to prevent me from enjoying my natural 3 a.m to 11 a.m sleep cycle.
