Becoming Nocturnal

Hey Azagoth, I'm gonna be rejoining The Godless as soon as I finish the thing that's been keeping me up all house lately - is the guild active at all during the wee hours or is it just you? :p Spent the last few months before I quit GvG'ing with Americans so I'm used to insomniac playing times by now, hope you guys will suit my style! ;)
 
im not sure about the sort of health effects of being nocturnal or sleeping for long durations are, but think about it like this, if you reduce your sleep by just 1 hour a day, you will be awake an extra 15 days a year. Thats a lot more 'active' time.

If you reduce sleep by 2 hours, thats 30 days extra awake per year, thats a whole month!

That being said though, dont reduce your sleep time to less then 7, otherwise although you may be gaining extra 'awake' time, you may be less effective because of reduced sleep.
 
My sleep pattern died years ago. sometimes i'm up for 36 hours then sleep for 11, sometimes i'm up for 8 hours and sleep for 8, sometimes up for 48 hours and sleep 7.. When i'm not working, i just cant keep a regular sleep pattern of any description, and it's a struggle when i am working. It's definitely not good for you physically or mentally. I think my problem is an alert time that exceeds 24hr. 48 if pushed, with no sleep whatsoever. I cant sleep unless i'm really tired :(
 
Yes. I do freelance work and therefore I have no strict routine.

I usually go to bed at about 6AM before the others wake up. I usually rise at about 2PM. I just can't help it, there's so much entertainment on the interweb!

I personally don't think it's healthy. I'd much prefer to rise at 7AM like everyone else, but the hours from 11PM - 6AM are so peaceful. My heart sinks when the sun rises and I'm still awake. I go straight to bed then.

It's not right.

There's a few members still playing during the wee small hours. Obviously not as many as during the 'normal' hours, but there's a few. Guess it's all down to how drunk they are, or possibly what Country they're in. :p

Give me your In-game name and I'll invite you. :)
 
Well its almost 5am and im still up and not too tired. Done this twice in 2 days now and its starting to get annoying. Ill probably get to kip at about 7am and wake up at dinner time. Its a bit of a vicious circle to be honest as im getting up at dinner time rather than morning so im going to sleep later at night.
 
yep i'm still up too. chatting got old hours ago. browsing is becoming old. i've resorted to researching heat recovery and power generation.. fun lol

Aye, do you find that you eating patterns get messed up?

I got up at 2.30pm today and didn't eat anything until 10PM when I had my dinner. I haven't eaten anything since and will probably hit the sack in an hour or so without eating - I just don't feel hungry.

I've done this so many times and I always feel like crap the next "morning". :o
 
No i still eat relatively normally, just get up at dinner time rather than breakfast time, gotta admit it does feel strange getting up and putting your dinner in the oven though.
 
yeah, i always fall asleep watching the F1 which is annoying as i like F1 lol

I've got a good reason to research the above, totally isolated power, cooling, lighting etc. It's pretty cool stuff when you get into it, theres some great ideas and products out there. I'm looking in a small scale way, not industrial stuff. a good imagination for tech stuff helps lol
 
Pft... I've gone all the way past staying up all night and now I keep falling asleep at about 8pm and waking up at 1am :/
 
i did that yesterday raikiri.. im still up now it's annoying. i'd try to sleep but i know i wont be able to
 
The thing that gets you when your up all night is the fact that sleep during the day is never as beneficial as sleeping at night. Although you may sleep way over the recommended its of a lower standard which can cause problems in the long term.
