Last night I decided to no longer allow myself to be controlled by the conformist notions that a human being needs sleep.... I stayed up all night, and it's now 8 a.m., and I just finished doing some push ups and playing on my Xbox. I don't have to be to work till later this afternoon, so I have all morning to bask in my own glory of rebellion. Just thought I'd share.

Originally posted by seraphimvultureI did the same experiment at college, and then followed that up by reversing my sleep paterns so that I got up at 7 at night and went to bed at 11 in the morning for two weeks. My advice, don't do it, it turns you into the walking dead and you fail to be able to function properly with the rest of the human race, on any level.
Sleep is for squares. Square. 🙂
Originally posted by StarrmanI'm pretty sure I'll be fine. I usually have to go to work at 9 a.m. and I usually get to bed around 4 or 5, lol. Can't say I'm the most alert employee ever but meh, ya get what practically minimum wage pays for.

Originally posted by seraphimvultureIf you apply yourself assiduously to the practice of yoga, you may reduce the period you need to sleep to as little as three hours. But you'll spend a great deal of your waking hours doing yoga.

Edit...whoops its after midnight... I'm off to bed...Nite Awl
I did this once.
Progression was as follows:
up to 18 hours : No real ill effects.
18-24 : Urge to fall asleep very great.
24-30: Second wind. Feel fine but very fine motor coordination is a little rusty. Slightly jumpy.
30-36: Black things moving the corner of vision. Faint noises heard from time to time. Very jumpy. Muscles ache, especially shoulders.
36-42: Slurring of speech. Motor coordination shot to hell. Muscles suddenly extremely painful. Swaying while standing still
44: Passed out.
