2) What time do you try to get to bed?
3) What time (Or time range) do you usually get to bed?
4) Do you sleep well?
5) What time do you usually get up?
6) What do you do when you should be in bed, but arent? Homework? Partying? Wandering aimlessly? Reading the NS forums? Making babies? Staring blankly at the ceiling?
7) Do you find you sleep better after any certain activity?
8) Please describe your general sleep habits, anything that hasnt been covered earlier, generally insert anything you want to say about sleep here.
Thanks!

I usually go to bed around 23.30 ... and I wake up at 9 since I don't have a job and I'm not in school until next year. I wake up a couple of times a night, even more because it has been very hot over here. Oh yes, I snore really really loud.
1. I eat my equivalent of lunch at 9PM, sitting at my PC listening to music, maybe playing a game.
2. Somewhere arouund 10AM.
3. 8AM-1PM
4. Yes.
5. 12-2PM
6. Staring blankly at my monitor trying to remember if I've been to bed or not.

Seem to sleep better with the sound of a fan on (no idea how this happend). Sleep better if iv had a lot of water to drink. Sleep better in cooler conditions.
Yes I am very very strange.
1.) From 6 to 9:30 I tend to be at work.. unless for some odd reason I have a day off, which never happens.. and thusly while I am at work I am usually on these boards because.. well there is nothing to do when no one comes in the store.
2.)I usually get to be around 1 or 2.. it depends on who came over after I get off work.
3.)See number 2.
4.)I haven't had a completely restfull nights sleep in over 10 years. :-)
5.)I am up when the sun comes up... so as of right now.. right around 6:15.. it will change to around 5:30 by the middle of the summer and thusly in winter I sleep later.. usually.
6.)I am usually talking to the one or two aquantices that come over in the evening consistantly, or I am creating landscapes on bryce with my computer and possibly re-reading the WoT series of books.

I hate stores that close at 2100 and I would rather go shopping at night. I am a night owl, hate mornings and need lots of caffiene. No matter how much sleep I get, it is always possible for me to stay up til dawn and get back on my "old" habbits....SLEEP SUCKS.</b>
1) From 6-9 pm? Study if I'm behind on that, otherwise mostly watching TV (I have a few shows aired every days that I follow) and/or playing computer.

1.) Right when school gets out (2:45) I go to track practice and practice until about 5:00. I get home and bs on the internet for about an hour or two (basically the ns forums, and current events). Then I play some NS from like 7:00 to 9:00.
2.) I try to get to bed before 12:00....
3.) 12:00
4.) Besides lack of sleep...yes.
5.) I usually get up at 7:15
6.) When Im not in bed, when i should be, I'm usually playing NS. When it really matters, I'll be doing my homework.
7.) Obviously you sleep better after an activity, like track for an example. When you use up all your energy, it feels like wonders going to bed.
8.) Sleeping is one of my most favorite things. When I'm really tired I'll snore....kind of embarassing.... <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif' /><!--endemo-->
2) Depends on when the above mentioned girlfriend goes to bed, usually 11ish
3) I usually end up lifting weights until about 1230ish
4) I sleep like a log
5) 6 AM
6) Lift weights or play GameCube, varies
7) I fall right asleep after reading and lifting
8) If I'm not working or doing anything with people after school, I'm napping, guaranteed
<b>Edit:</b> Quick correction
<b>Edit two:</b> This is a weekday schedule

Behold the weirdness that is my sleep schedule! (...during the summer, at least).
1) I play computer games, play sports, run around outside (usually with the dog or with friends), eat, watch TV.
2) I go to bed when I'm tired or obligated to. Yesterday it was around noon, the day before that, it was around 7AM.
3) Depending on how tired I am it takes between instantly and 15 minutes to fall aslpee.
4) Usually - if I sleep to long I can get a headache from getting up really quick.
5) between 8 and 15 hours after laying down...
6) I wasn't aware I was supposed to be in bed <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> . Generally playing computer games - during the summer.
7) Eating and cleaning make me tired <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
8) I bounce around in my sleep like a madman, but don't snore (at least, not as much as anyone else in this house). I sleep very heavily at home. Sometimes I injure myself well I'm asleep (guess it falls under 1) I've hit my shin against the bed, I've hit my eye socket against a corner of the bed and I've sprained my toe kicking the side of my bed.
For college:
1) Same as above, but include: doing homework.
2) It depends when my next class is. Generally 4- 8 hours before I need to wake up for the next class. Generally between midnight and 3AM
3) Same as above
4) Well enough
5) I usually sleep to late and end up being late for class (generally because my alarm clock sucks), which is usually between 7 and 10AM
6) Homework, internet surfing (rarely computer games because the network at school sucks...a lot).
7) Doing homework or watching TV...usually with school I just get tired around 1AM is all.
8) Fairly light sleeper at school. Roommate woke me up whenever he left for class first, but it gives me cool dreams and it makes it easier for me to wake up. I think it has to do with the fact my room is in the basement at home and it's harder to get up without sunlight streaming in - although I just woke up an hour ago and it's 2am...so no sunglight now - but it is raining.
Woot, messed up sleeping-ness.
2) 1:00-2:00am ish
3) ... that's the same as question 2...
4) Usually
5) 7:00 :( :( stupid job
6) See answer 1
7) yes
8) I like sleep, but they keep waking me up at work when I'm trying to get in a little extra...
1 - Let's see...sprite editing, map-making (I suck) texture-creation (my worst department) drawing, meditating, using the computer....pretty much everything, including chores ><
2 - 9:00 - 11:00 pm
3 - 10:00 or so
4 - Surprisingly yes when I live right next to a highway
5 - 5:30 - to 6:00, need to catch early bus to school so I don't get nabbed by discipline teachers :o
6 - Meditating....well, something like that. I'm not giving away what I do anyway, you'll all laugh at me.
7 - I usually sleep better after a horrid day of PE where I end up dislocating a few of my bones.... and pop em back in
8 - I also enjoy sleeping in the bus, in classes (and still get ok marks btw) and pretty much anywhere. I'm like a semi-necrophiliac it seems. I don't care about the As in my report card though. And sometimes I wake up pretty late when the air-conditioner is on for some weird reason.
I really hope you mean narcoleptic.
2) I don't 'try' for any particular time
3) 12:30 - 3:00 am
4) yes
5) 6:15 am
6) At bar drinking, surf internet, watch Tv
7) Not really, when I sleep I'm out
8) I'm so damn tired
I really hope you mean narcoleptic. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
