[QUOTE="Bladesong, post: 1793145, member: 20800"] Well, I turned 41 last week, so I guess 41 years. Sleep is a deeper subject than "do you sleep or not." There is good sleep, and there is sleep, and there is no sleep. I make sure that my body lays down for at least 6 hours every day (usually no more than 7 1/2). My eyes are closed for about 4, if I am lucky, and I get less than 2 hours of straight sleep every night (i.e. 30 minutes here, 20 minutes there). I will not use drugs as they actually have the opposite effect and keep me awake. It does not matter if I exercise, work hard, play hard, or sit around. The only thing that can make me get more than my 2 hours of sleep is being sick in which case I have been unconscious for 8 hours. Over the years I have been poked, prodded, studied, medicated, analyzed, and criticized and none of them made any difference. Unlike Algolei I am not crazy and manage to have a normal life. p.s. Wow, quick email. 10 days straight without any sleep at all was the longest that I remember, though my parents said I went longer than that as a child. [/QUOTE]
