Sleep

[Moribundus]

10-12 hours during holidays. I am a night person, so I'm usually up until morning and then sleep until late afternoon. But I should really do something about it

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

You will acutally live longer if you restrict yourself to 5-7 hours of sleep each night, any more than that and you're over sleeping (or so I was told by Quite Interesting, and when has Steven Fry ever lied to me?0.

I've heard that, too, GAT, and am trying to do that now that I'm on campus... It's working out okay so far.

 

I also heard that you will have more time in your day if you sleep for something like two or three hours and are awake for five to six (roughly double what you sleep). No, wait, that doesn't sound right... Well, whatever it was, Leonardo da Vinci did it.

Personally, I agree. I think the more a person sleeps, the more time he wastes. Thus, less sleep is awesome.

Except medically it is necessary in order to "organize" (or, more appropriately, forget) the more trivial matters and memories. Less sleep in the long run actually kills brain cells because it overwhelms them with memory without energy and eventually you will have memory-loss on an increasingly larger scale. I agree, though, sleeping too much is unhealthy, if only lazy.

Ah, but at the same time, if you over-charge a battery, it will explode and leak acid all over the place. Do you want your brain cells and cranial fluid spewing all over the place?!

I was just saying that sleep is a lose/lose situation. If you dont sleep enough, you lose brain cells. If you sleep too much, your brain is transformed into a steaming pile of goo. Either way, your brain is a goner.

Yeah, but Leonardo da Vinci is dead

Just like Leonardo da Vinci!

Wait! I'll lend you my sword!

Highlander referances? Come now, good people!

 

Lately I've been getting around seven hours of sleep. My watch has three alarms, an occasion reminder, and a timer, thus five alarms, plus I have an alarm clock, and I wind up using them all on most days.

 

I have an alarm go off at 6:30 to wake me up just so that I can shut it off, the theory being that, when I immediately roll over back to sleep, I won't enter REM again, and will wake up less tired. I dunno if it works or not, because I have a third alarm for 7:05, because I usually ignore the 7:00 alarm.

 

EDIT: (Reply to Morindibus to avoid posting again so soon): Oh, yeah, my alarm clock is currently held together in part by Silly Putty. Yes, you read that correctly: Silly Putty. The front end fell off.

Heh, I used to have three alarm clocks too, but they became victims of my bad mornings

Stop copying me, Tofu... In another creepy instance of Tofu-SOCL likeness, I do precisely that with the exact same theory...
