Is this how long you plug yourself in or do robots sleep?

I plug myself in, at which point I enter a state very similar to sleep. I dream of electric sheep.

Well, yeah man, sleep is for the dead.

Things more important than sleep:*

Books
Vidya games
Other games
Movies
6 degress of Wiki
Music
Coffee
Talking to someone you love
Talking to someone you like
Talking to someone you hate
Baby carrots and bacon ranch dressing with a little grated Parmesan
The stars
Fireflies
Midnight drives
Midnight walks
Sex

Vidya gaems are more important than sleep, I agree, but enjoying them while tired is hardly enjoying them at all! It's best to enjoy vidya while refreshed after a good night's sleep.

Someday science will get us to the point where we won't need sleep. I hope.

I have no idea how you guys can do it. I go to bed at 7pm every night so I can be up at 3am. (work is at 4am.) Anything less than seven hours of sleep and I am dead.

Anything more than nine hours of sleep leaves me dead, too. I don't get it. I cannot sleep in because it wrecks me.

So yeah, 7-8 hours. It's wonderful. I can't remember the last time I felt sleepy aside from at night.

I agree that anything over 7-8 hours and I'm dead. I'll just end up sleeping 10-12 hours. I do seem to function best on about 6 hours of sleep. I do get super tired by the end of the week if I'm up until 11 or midnight ever night.

[Night Fury]

I can manage on 6. Anything more than that is a treat. Anything over 10 is disgraceful and a waste of potential productivity.

I am a little babby and go to bed around 10:30

I get very unhappy with less than 8

I love being asleep; there are so many great dreams and it's so comfortable. but there are things I want to do in waking life too

[escobert]

I don't ever remember dreams so sleeping is a waste of time!

[chionos]

I don't ever remember dreams so sleeping is a waste of time!

Exactly! Preach it!

[Raistlin]

Someday science will get us to the point where we won't need sleep. I hope.

I agree; it wastes 1/3 of our lives!

[fire_of_avalon]

Isn't that horrible? We spend a third of our lives practically dead already. Ugh.

[chionos]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Except, you just made it even more depressing. I don't want to think about it anymore. Our lives are so tiny and insignificant!

[Bubba]

The less sleep I get the more tired I am the next day.

The more sleep I get the less tired I am the next day.

[Ouch!]

I require a minimum of five hours of sleep to function. Six to seven is optimal. If I sleep more than eight hours, I tend to wake up tired.

I once had 3-4 hours of sleep per night and became an irritable wanker and felt like crap. I have at least six hours on most nights now and I'm perhaps still an irritable wanker on occasion, but I do feel a lot better. In the weekend I'll try to have more sleep but it doesn't always work out that way. The best night for sleep is Friday night for me, as it's when I've just gone through five days of long work and little sleep and I often go to bed early and wake up later than normal. For some reason, I rarely get a lot of sleep on a Saturday night... possibly because of all that sleep on Friday night.

[NinjaCoachZ]

8 hours or more to feel fully rested and completely awake the next day. Though if I have gotten a full sleep the night before, I can go a day with 7 or even 6.
