This may be hard to believe but during the week I do not sleep (usually), I sleep on Saturday (unless I'm out) and Sunday night for about 8 hours. I did not read the whole thread, is there anyone else is this boat? Or should I say submarine. I've never bothered seeing a doctor about it but I believe it's a mixture of physical/psychological problems and a conscious effort to stay awake, being in school and the work that is associated with it leaves me feeling robbed of my free time. I've been like this for the past 6 years of my life. I don't feel it's a hindrance, I don't experience fatigue due to sleep deprivation. I must admit to having some wicked-bad dark circles under my eyes but I think it adds an air of mystery and darkness that really works on those "tormented" ladies

There's nothing wrong with staying up late. I do it. But I hope you guys get to sleep in. I sleep a lot on weekends.

I got at least 6 hours of sleep last night, so I'm good. I get less sleep on the weekends, I usually get a full 8 or 9 hours on weekdays. Darn you counterstrike!

My body is not physically active the entire duration of my wake, obviously. I haven't seen any adverse physical affects besides the darkness under the eyes which I am genetically predisposed to anyways (family thing). Like I said, my mind and body rest during the weekend. I'm sure I must microsleep (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsleep) but I am not consciously aware of it, which is the norm. I've researched (lightly) the negative affects (there are positive affects, yes.) of sleep deprivation and in my opinion, inhabiting this sleep deprived body, I can say that they have not affected me in a measurable way. I believe this is because they are more "dangerous" during the developmental years of life, and though this began some 6 years ago, I seem to be fine. It is said it may affect growth and cause troubles with memory but I have an exceptional memory and I am not short in stature or underdeveloped in other physical arenas (I am over 6 feet tall).

It's 6:59AM here, just for anyone interested.

Haha, I wouldn't say I'm super human but good idea about 7-Eleven, but nevermind the clones, I think I'll apply.

I'm generally just a night owl, but when I do have insomnia it's fairly serious (usually at least 48 hours up without any sleep). Looks like tonight's gonna be a late one for me, it's 3:30AM here, I have no particular responsibilities tomorrow and am so not in the mood to go to bed. Music and occasional browsing for a while longer, I guess.

P.S. wish more people would post at these hours... even the posts from Europe are slim around this time (4AM pacific).

 

[Edwood]

I would be posting more into the wee hours of the morning, but I'm actually working right now (have been all through the night). Ugh. Going to finish it up before I catch a flight to NYC.

Yikes, the sun is coming up, so it's time for me to go to bed.

I feel the exact way you do. When I was younger, however, I was a very early bird. Nowadays its like.. all day long I am not interested in certain things, but come night time its like i crave them. For example, drawing and writing.

I think its a privacy issue as well. My entire house goes to sleep at a fairly decent time (before midnight) every night, and my mother and I stay up til 3-4-5.. sometimes later. Sometimes we are hanging out, other times we do our own thing the whole time.

IDK why it is though... Most people tell me its because I dont want to go to sleep.. but it just seems so untrue.. because I love sleep!

 

[smeggy]

I am fully a night owl who is forced into a daytime work routine (oh horror!) and it sux as my best hours are the wee ones. Work aside I am a 5-6 am bedtime type, as it is I have to get up in the morning and I really hate that whole AM thing. It's obscene.
