Sleep more, be saner! ~_^

[JD]

Whenever I need to be creative I seem to cut out on sleep. I think I'm  more irrational and thus creative when I have less sleep. Although I sleep around 8h per night if i can, if I need to get ideas I go for 3-4h for around 4 to 5 days. If that means I'm getting a little insane on the way, then that just proves how close genius and madness are.

I can relate to that  Some of my best stuff has come when I was sleep deprived and somewhat intoxicated

I require a fair bit of sleep. Uninterupted, I will sleep for 8 or 9 hours.

Though my record is 13. (5am to 6pm)


I have to get up at 9 or 10 most days, but I can't seem to convinve myself to get to sleep before 3am... even though I really need to...

It's half 2am now, btw.

I sleep late, its 02.42 in the morning now!

Anything between 7 and 9 hours does me although the last few days I've had catching up to do.

Funny, I sleep a lot. 12-16 hrs a day. And I'm quite the looney toon. 

JD I am this way too. When I was younger I would stay up til 3-4am drawing. It seems like after I get over that period of feeling extremely tired, I start feeling more spaced out I guess and get that 'nervous' feeling which drives my creativity somehow..

I tried how far I can push it. So I tried going without sleep as long as I can on one occasion, and on another occasion i wanted to see how many days i can last with only 3h of sleep per night.

I invited some friends who took turns in playing videogames against me. The first 48h were easy, the next 12h interesting, and after that i started napping if there was a too long break inbetween the curves in racing games. ^^
Sanitywise i think i kept getting more irrational and less focused.

On the other experiment, I kept feeling better till around day 5. afterwards it just grew worse till on around day when I quit I felt completely listless and apathetic.

Don't think I can keep up with my current sleeping tables another 10 years though. My mom said she used to be like me, now she sleeps like 10h average per night on weekdays. XD god i hope i won't turn out that way... sleeping half of my life, what a waste of time. =P

48 hours of video games?

I'm sure that 48 seconds of video games would make me listless and apathetic.

48 hours of video games?


I'm sure that 48 seconds of video games would make me listless and apathetic.

My eyes start to hurt after 2 hours.

As for sleeping, I couldn't vote, 'cause it varies. If it's the holidays then I'm as lazy as all hell and will stay in bed (denying I'm awake more than actually sleeping ) for a good 14-or-so hours, but during the semester it's far less. I had 2 hours' sleep last night, and similar the night before. I've become quite attached to my insanity.

Gah, I'm having a 4 or 5 hours a night phase... stressed... this will culminate in a 10/11 hour sleep binge at some point in the near future... probably stupid Wednesday night when I need to be writing my essay...

Essay nights are always the best for sleeping.
