You know, I've actually been thinking about this recently. I've been getting worse and worse with sleeping late.. Just last night, I stayed up till 7am with 10 class -.-;; I've gotten to the point where I'll look at the clock and think

"Psh, it's not even 4am, I'm not going to sleep.. Gotta find something to do to keep me up"

And then every 3-4 days, I totally crash and miss all my classes and sleep like 15-16 hours and feel awful when I wake up.
Whats wrong with meeeee

It's particularly tough to get to sleep when you have 6 waves of catapults coming into each of four of your cities in about 45 minutes.

This is a very interesting topic indeed. I suffer quite severely from the notion of refusing sleep. Its quite remarkable now that I think about it... even to the point where, at the beginning of this semester of school I had a decent sleep schedule, going to bed and getting up early and it felt great. I was alert and awake for morning classes. Despite the fact that I am aware of this feeling, now that I am mid-way through the semester, my sleep schedule is horrible. In fact, I had a 9am class this morning and didn't get to bed until about 3:30am. And subsequently, today, I am quite tired.

Perhaps this will allow me to realize the value of not combating sleep... But more than likely, it won't.

I'm glad to be an exception to this rule. When my body says "sleep", I say "yessir!" and get right on that.
I typically go to bed around 10 pm and occasionally have a few naps during the day.

Interesting point, as somebody who has hudge trouble going to sleep early i find that intersting. I remember reading a developer's blog where he explained that he is more productive at night when there is nothing to bother him (no client calls for an example) and that even if you are tired and not as efficient than during the day, being tired actually helps you because you only focus on the task you are doing and you are not frantically checking twitter/reddit/facebook/whatever is your favorite internet drug.

Wheras during the day with your full capacity and coffeine in your body you tend to be all over the place and not really focusing on what you are doing, but trying to multitask to much. I don't really agree with the point he made in his blog, i know that at night i just like to enjoy some relaxing time, it can be playing games or watching movies/TV Shows.



Procrastinating this change in my life since 6 years now, i'll try...tomorow.

Wow you summed up exactly how I feel about sleep....this habit is just terrible and I can't break it at all.
My wife is very understanding that I don't go to bed when she does but I worry that someday she won't be as such....

It's not easier for women. There's a hella lotta makeup products to mask the ill-effects, so if all you care about it appearance, it's not likely to persuade you to sleep more.

Personally I have struggled with severe insomnia for years. Knowing just how shitty it makes me feel, I make great efforts to go to bed. As far as sleeping, sometimes I lie in bed and don't sleep for the entire night. :/ It still feels bad in the morning, but it's not quite as bad as no rest at all.

I totally agree with this. I've been trying with varying success to institute a 'no SC2-related activities after 11pm' rule. I'm definitely feeling a lot better and more productive as a result, and my play has improved too. Unfortunately, society still this view that those who give in to sleep are somehow weak or less productive. With the average American now only sleeping 6 hours a night, it's beyond the point of ridiculous.

college student averaging 8 hours of sleep a night. Latest I ever sleep is 1am with rare exceptions. Screw societal expectations and the norm, I like my sleep. What really baffles me though is when my friends make a competition out of who gets the least sleep. What's next? Who can go the longest without food and water?

man my sleeping schedule is so frickin messed up. go to bed anywhere between midnight and 3 and get up at 6 every morning. I randomly procrastinated a paper and literally did my first all nighter earlier this week. Then as soon as I got home from school at 4, I slept till 9, then studied till 5 and then slept till 6. The next day I sleep from 3-6 and now everyday I'm wide awake late at night and tired all day, I "wake up" around 10 PM. I don't know how to fix this.

if you sleep before midnight, you will never get a job. So keep studying and no sleep.
