I used to like sleep
At least i think i did...
when i was a little kid, i mean real little, my parents could move me from the couch to my crib, or my bed, and i wouldn't stir at all. I was like a cat. I'd fall asleep in odd positions and wouldn't budge until i woke up. And i wouldn't wake up unless i wanted to.
When i was in 4th or 5th grade, i would stay up reading until 1am. Eventually this turned into playing nintendo or watching tv until then. I'd sleep for 4 or 5 hours until it was time to go to school, then sleep in class. This lasted through high school.
Then i was working from 2pm to 10. i'd get home, eat, watch tv for a couple hours (the movie channels late at night...i think we all know what was on ) and then i'd go to bed and sleep until noon.
Then, i move out, down to arizona for school. my sleeping habits didn't change. up until midnight at the earliest and then out the door by 6:30am. Sometimes i'd snooze through class, other times, i relied on various amounts of caffine to keep me moving. STEP rolls around and i had no choice. Out the door by 5:45, get home at 7pm, study until sometimes 3am, catch 1-2hours of Z's and do it all over again, hoping i didn't fall asleep in class, or in my lunch, or under the car i was working on at work.
now, i don't end up going to bed until 11:30-midnight, roll around for about an hour and wake up and 7:40 (when either my bird, or the sun wakes me up) and leave for work, hoping no one notices i stroll in at 8:15. This keeps up all week. By the time Friday gets here, i just want to crawl in the trunk of a 745Li, curl up and sleep for awhile in the hopes that no one opens my casket and disturbs my cat nap. These days, the sound of a pin falling will wake me up.
And here i am, trying to get on a shift that runs from 6am to 7pm sure, it's only 3 days a week, but still. It's a 13 fucking hour shift for god's sake. Oh, and every 8 weeks, i'll have to work 6 days straight
anyone find it ironic that it's 3:15 am and i'm ranting about sleep? HA! I'll be the first ever documented zombie in another 2 years.
no wonder my fucking hair is falling out :roll:

I use to sleep 8 hrs every night. A normal night now is 11 or midnight to 6 am.. at work by 7. I think its a responsibilities thing. There is just never enough days in the week or time in the day.

I sleep like a baby.......used to have problems but got over them. I'm the exact opposite to you it seems....
I go to bed around 11pm most nights (Mon-Thurs I mean) and get up at 6:30am for work.

Well at least now I don't feel so fucked up lol. I hardly ever sleep a wink... Stay up for 2 days and sleep the equivalent of less than half a normal sleep between the two days haha. I can hardly remember what day it is most of the time.

I used to HATE sleep as my parents forced me o have naps and sleep really early as I NEEDED 100% of 8 hours sleep before going to school. THey were really strickt about sleep and damn I hated it. Now that I am not forced by anyone, I like sleeping a lot!

i'll only be able to do that if i'm really active on friday and fatigue is already weighing heavily on me. Usually when i get fatigued, i feel it in the backs of my legs first. I'll get home gifuring i'll pass out about 9, but before i know it 11:30 is showing on the clock

I was never forced to sleep, I think thats my problem haha. I'd rather be doing something, anything, rather than wasting the day away unconcious. Ever since I was about 9 or 10, I've been staying up late as hell, then waking up after about 2 hours of sleep haha, and that's on a good day.

now that im working fulltime in the summer and have to get out of bed every day at a shocking 7am (yeah i know, i've got it easy ) i notice it helps to go to bed in time (before midnight for me). Normally, when i go to college and i usually dont have to get up very early, my sleeping pattern is VERY irregular, and very unhealthy, often staying up till almost morning to finish essays or something like that... i kinda like working in the middle of the night, too bad i won't be able to do it when i have a real job...

Hahaha, I never sleep. Go to bed at 3:30-4:00am and wake up at 6:30-7:00am, every single day, even on weekends. A few of those days I never even make it to sleep. My body is quite used to it now. Even with such a low amount of sleep, I am not hampered by fatigue. Ah the glory that is Insomnia.

Ihave no problems falling asleep,. I usually do so for about 8 hours daily (11pm-7am). If I don't get my sleep just one night I feel tired for the next few days, I'm lazy then and easily irritated.

Haha, nice.
Right now is a perfect example of how sometimes I never make it to sleep. It is 5:20am here is SoCal and I need to be at school in 2 hours (7:30-4:20). I never even thought about sleep. I've been sitting in front of the computer animating all night. For joy, for joy.
