13 Hours of Sleep!

[awayfarer]

"O sleep! O gentle sleep!
Nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee,
That thou no more wilt weight my eyelids down"

When I was younger, I used to be able to sleep 10 hours at a stretch. Now I generally only get 6 or 7. I think it's a combination of getting older and the fact that I usually have enough caffiene in my system to kill a mule.

It is possible to go with only about 3 or 4 hours a night. My last semester at my old college (severaly years ago) I was working 9-10 hours a night and taking an 4-6 hour-a-day chemistry course. Add in homework and there wasn't much time for anything else. I was drinking two liters of mountain dew and about 60 oz's of coffee every day.

yeah... I average 3 liters of soda a day. When I hit 6 liters I have problems sleeping.


Between the preservatives in the soda and the food, I figure I am self mummizing myself. 3000 years from now I'll still be there- clutching a dew in one arm, and a handful of rotted comics and DnD books in the other.

and almost forgot.... sprinkle in my action figures and DDM figures as my guardians in the afterlife


The Chinese were proud of their armies of clay soldiers. I have DRAGONS!

All I need is seven. Anything more (rare) or less (more likely) and I'm less than stellar.

I've noticed that I sleep in multiples of 90 minutes. I gone on as little as 3 hours and as much 15. As long as its a multiple of 90 minutes I usually have no problems with being tired. Otherwise I'm irritable and in a semi haze for most of the day.
