I've managed to hold I off pretty well over the summer holdiays, but just over the past few days I've started staying up really late and getting up late. Its not something that I particuallaly enjoy because I find getting up in the morning rather pleasent. However, staying up this late seems have a certain attraction. Now especially since my computer is in my room, I can sit here with something to drink and eat (Thats something else, I've started eating four times a day. Breakfast, dinner, tea, and then something else in the middle of the night. Not just a snack either, a full meal). Its almost like my room becomes a self contained capsule in the blackness of the night. Its really weird. Anyway, I still force myself to get up relatively early (10 this morning :x) at about 8 but its not doing me any good losing out on so much sleep. Pretty soon its gonna catch up to me...


Anyway...What are your experiences with staying up late? :)
 
Yeh ive been doing that lately :|

I find if i stay up late i will just stay up the rest off the next day and go to bed at 10pm and sleep till 8am.
 
heh, welcome to the past 3 months for me. I didn't sleep last night, and am still awake, thi is happening reularly, I'll probably go to sleep after tmbg on conan tonight and wake up saturday afternoon. basically, yeah, night is when I'm awake, as most of you regular sleep schedule brits should know, considering how I am greteing you all with good morning every day :p
 
Meh, I go to bed at like 5am, then read until 7am.

I sleep until 4 in the afternoon. I'm changing to going to sleep at 3am and waking up at 12pm though, next week, to start preparing myself for school, and on the last week, I'll go to 1am to 9am hours.
 
This summer was late nights, or 3 in the mornng, and waking up late, like noon.

My record for late wake up was 3:30 p.m.
It was a very short day........
 
I go to sleep at 12 and wake up at 12.
 
Well as the summer goes on I stay up later and wake up later. Usually I'll go to bed at sometime like 1,2,3, or 4 and wake up at 2 in the afternoon. But the last couple days my moms been waking me up. But then again she wakes me up at 12 or so.
 
I am a morning person, but I am in college (university). That is a contradiction in terms. So pretty much I am a noctorunal even though I am a morning person. :(

It doesn't help my upcoming semester at college I have night classes. :( Yay for being in an advanced tax class till 10:30 at night on Monday's.
 
Well I ahve work tommorow...admitedly I don't go in until 1pm, but I like to have a few hours free time before, otherwise its straight to work and when I finnish at 10, the day has literally almost ended.
 
I've been going to bed at 2:30 - 3:00am, and waking up at 12:00-1:00pm. It's gonna suck when school starts when I have to wake up at 6am :eek:
 
I usually stay up 'til 1-3 A.M. then sleep 'til 8-9 A.M. I get to stay up late and still wake up early enough so as to not feel like my day was cheated from me! :p
 
i've been goin to bed at 2:30 - 3:30am and waking up at 8:00-9:00am. This is so that i can maximise the amount of time i have over this holiday.

Not as if i'm doing any super strenuous exercise, though i do do a 10-15minute jog on the treadmill, but still, it's not enough to demand alot of hours sleep and regular meals.

Hell, if i didnt live in my parents' house I probably wouldn't sleep at all.
 
The problem though, is that lack of sleep really messes you up. The bluntest way of putting it, is that your brain shrinks :O
 
1:30am - 9am is when I sleep. Ive been waking up earlier to prepare for school though.

Indeed. I remember a time when me and a friend stayed awake for a whole day and went highschool the next day. Through the whole day i felt like i was floating. Pretty cool actually, might do it again some time in college.

Yeah, when I used to work at the airport, I started at about 4am so I often ended up just not sleeping. After I had been there a while, it was alright because I jsut drifted through the day not really thinking about what I was doing but because I had done it so much I was alright. I even felt like I had fallen alseep one time, and realised I had cleared one of the tables and said something to the people sat there. That was weird and even unnerving, but it was cool because when it got like that the day would shoot by, and I would go home with the memory of the dreams I had had :D
 
Yeah, I've been staying up quite late aswell, especially now at the end of the summer. I'll try and get in sync with the.. *shudders*.. real world.. now though.

<shameless plug> then check out ttf.jpg in that same directory, its my surrealist masterpiece</shameless pl... oh wait, they never end.

meh :D
 
I mostly stay up late and get up 3 hours later, like 5am-8am, and if I go to bed at like 10pm I wake up at noon, wierd stuff.
 
man, I work third shift... and have no life :(
Leave for work at 10pm get home at 8am to sleep around noon wake up around 9pm and back to work again...
 
The worst sleep deprivation I've had was probably in 8th grade. There were weeks when I stayed up past 2 (sometimes until 5:30 am) doing homework. Then on Friday I just fell asleep at 4 pm and woke up around 8 in the morning. During the whole last half of that school year, I just dragged myself around school half-asleep and yawning all the time.

This summer I've been going to sleep around 1 or 2 am and waking up around 11 or 12. Sometimes I just stay up reading or doing puzzles until I get tired. Then I start sleeping through my alarm clock. I need to start waking up earlier now though since school starts this Monday for me :(.
 
I was getting a really weird sleeping pattern going on the holidays... I don't think I ever saw much daylight. Started going to sleep at 7:30 AM and waking up at 5 or 6 O'Clock PM...
 
I hav a similiar problem
well id just that I get sleepy in the 3am and wake up like 9am
but the problem is that if try to sleep before 3am I cant sleep I just are in my bed all waked
what I can do?

Seems I have been doing this aswell, for no other reason than some of the best converstation I have ever had...
 
I used to try to get to bed sometime not too late, so I would be able to get up relatively early in the morning. But lately I have been slipping, too.

3:15 in the morning: I might go to sleep soon. Maybe. *shrug*
 
before i went back 2 school, i used to wake up kinda late. i work evenings, like 5-10pm part time. i used to wake up to go to work.

i blame valve, partly. for a month or so i used to play cs 3 nights a week, from, say, 11pm to 6am. i was very addicted.

now i gotta get up at 7 for school. sucks. i hate mornings.
 
well im up at 5:41 right now and i havent slept yet. I was gunna but i had to pick my dad up from the police station.... It was very funny
