    Typically weekend parties end with me going 'fudge it I'll stay up until noon'

    Like psy I am generally a night person, it helps I work afternoons/evenings though I'm also an early riser I get up most days at 06:45. I guess thats where I get my nickname of "duracell bunny" from since most nights I'll grab between 2 and 4 hours of sleep and be perfectly fine the good side of this is I then have 20 hours of waking time to fit everything else in. People from EoFF have had perfect examples of this in the past, Psy will of course remember when he came for my birthday, when he first saw me in London that day I was operating on 2 hours sleep in 5 days I was if anything more hyperactive than normal. Accidental all nighters are so common I don't even bother counting them just give me a decent game, tv series on my laptop, book or even just a damn good convo and I can be there all night long silently playing away with it.

    The trick however if you wanna go sleep is not to try to go to sleep. This is because if you're focused on going to sleep your brain is too actively thinking "oh no must sleep!" and therefore keeping you awake so the easiest way to get some sleep is to not try. Also sometimes the body will store excess energy (especially if your diet is rich in soda/sugar/caffeine) which will release itself through all nighters at times. Just like sometimes your body will decide it's just too tired and force you to crash deeply for about 10 hours. (sleeping more than 8 hours is unnecessary even if you've been awake for a week. Sleeping more than 10 is just being a lazy git)

    Still I'm going to stick to my madcap routine after all no one has ever died from insomina they've generally been killed in accidents blamed on their insomina. I don't drive so hopefully that rules out insomina deaths for me.

    My sleep schedule right now is I stay up until about 8am and then go to sleep, wake up at about 6-7pm, rinse and repeat.

    I'm a night person. If everything were open 24 hours a day as it should be, I'll bet I wouldn't have to run into any idiots.

    Okay, so it's now hour 37 and I am not tired at all. If I am tired, I sure don't feel like it.

    Is this normal? Do I need to get checked out?

    I usually get caught up in some game, like COD(first) or some other game and just lose track of the time. I usually realize it when It's around 5 am, so I just decide to pull the all-nighter.

    No. You'll start hallucinating eventually.

    Don't worry, they won't hurt you...


    ...much.

    Well, it's 2:45 am Wednesday, and I FINALLY feel tired. It's been a long forty-two hours, and I feel guilty for not really doing anything. I spent fourteen hours on Final Fantasy IV. Fourteen hours!! I very rarely can sit and just play video games (or do anything for that matter) for longer than two hours chunks.

    G'nite.

    Those nights are way worse when you try to sleep the entire night, as in not getting out to watch TV or things like that, don't fall asleep until 6:10, wake up at 6:30 and have to go to school.

    Yeah...some family came in from Illinois, so we had to make room for everyone. I had to share my room with my little brother and three younger cousins, and they did NOT want to sleep. So I couldn't sleep. They also wiped boogers on my wall. Ew.

    The most recent all-nighter I pulled was last year, playing WoW.

    It was on a Tuesday morning that I was running an instance with my brother, and my friend in..uh..Blackrock something. Anyways, since it was a Tuesday, it meant maintence day for Wow. So, the three of us were trying to taking down some boss, and I foolishly and half-asleep-ly jump off onto a platform on the lava, and got myself stuck. Then the other two couldn't take the boss down and well...we got disconnect because of maintence. We were so close too, and it was six AM, and I had to go snowboardin' in about an hour.
