    Default Go away Mr. Sandman.

    EoFF must be tired these days, because a lot of threads have to do with sleeping. So here is my spin on it:

    What is the least amount of sleep you can get and still function normally without using any stimulants (coffee, energy drinks, meds, etc.)?

    I can usually swing five hours a night without any assistance.

    Though, if I want to stay up on a night where I don't have work the next day, that's when I will use a 5 Hour Energy drink. Oddly enough, I feel fine without one and just deal with being tired until it naturally goes away in the course of my day.

    yeah about 5. But I complain about it.

    I also blame Pike for all the sleep threads. She makes them before she goes to bed. heh

    I can probably get about 20 - 30 minutes of sleep and function relatively normally for the entire day afterwards but I would probably crash at around 10 or 11pm.

    I think the reason for the sleepy threads is on the part of some fetish of Pike's

    edit:
    ontopic: 2hours, coffee actually makes me calm down for some reason.

    Roughly an hour, more or less. It's been like this for me, so I'm used to it. Doesn't mean I like doing it. :P

    Fun fact: Expect to see more threads from Pike. She's on a quest to make a thread a day for the entire year.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I know, that's why I stopped opening so many threads, I'm hoping if she wins the cookie this year she wont contest me for it next time.

    As long as I get at least one night a week that's a good ten hours, the rest can be five hours and I'll be okay. I can swing three or four if I've had good sleep on other nights. When I was teaching I usually slept four or five hours on work nights, and ten to twelve on weekends.

    I can sleep for about three hours a night and then stay awake for the next three days or so. Sometimes even longer, but I usually crash hard in the middle of a fourth day.

    Yup. And so far, so good.

    If I get anything less than seven hours of sleep in a night I stop functioning. I'm kind of high maintenance that way.

    If I get more than two but less than five you might as well replace me with a rock. Except the rock will be nicer.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I can function well enough with about 5 hours of sleep, but that won't be a spectacularly productive day. I'll probably be grumpy too.

    Function? Depends on how well you intend on me functioning...

    I get 6-7 hours sleep on average per night. I could probably function pretty well with less, but the less I go, the worse I function... and I would inevitably become very irritable.

    I don't function normally on normal amounts of sleep so I don't know how to answer this question. I actually feel fantastic after 2-3 hours of sleep following and all nighter which gets me like what 45ish hours of "fully functioning" awake time in the space of 48 hours. And then I crash like a mothersmurfer.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.
