I was getting 4 hours of sleep every night from August to December, last year.  u__u  But it was because of the time I spent working and playing on the forum, especially in its first few months, so I pushed through it.  Still, my work performance suffered dramatically.  My mentor noticed it and remarked at my review that I'd been getting slower and slower with my projects, and I know it was in large part due to my lack of rest.   

Now I'm trying to get at least 6 hours, but that still leaves me unable to function properly at work, and nodding off at my desk. 
Feel free to PM.

Sleep patterns, hm?

Went through a period last week where 3-5 hours was the norm. This week, though, it seems it is now impossible for me to get less than 9 hours. Backlash! Unfortunately this now means I miss out on buses and morning classes, because I sleep right through alarms... I am lucky that all my classes are now at that period of time where everything is now self-study, or I would be in deep waters.

I suppose all it teaches is that one night of 3 hours sleep is doable, but several in a row is not - or at least not without repercussions.

Alsoooo, hi Oskutin! Seems that as well as avatar changing season, it's the time for old members to turn up again :) Including me. I don't think I've been this active in the forum for several months now. *chat lurker* *average post count was, once upon a time, past 2 per day, now is down to 1.5 per day*

The least I've ever gotten was 1 1/2 (a combination of chat, procrastination, and homework), and I went to school on that (on two separate occasions, actually) but it wasn't much fun. I mean, it was fun at the time, but in retrospect...

You know, digital animation isn't as bad as I thought it'd be? I'm used to all the DS/3DS flipnote stuff but photoshop (although a PAIN to get things to work right) wasn't all thaaaat bad?

It was a really cool animation, I liked the little hand-flourishes right before it grabs its face.

*Nods*  People were beginning to worry.  You've learned a good sleep lesson before uni, which is good.  It'll come in handy once you're there.  o___o 

Also, it is indeed avatar changing season.  \o/
Feel free to PM.

*nonchalantly adds 'avatar changing season' to list of terms I've coined*
.......huh, even Eich.

I don't even know how many hours I'm supossed to sleep?? On days that I don't have any lectures/have late lectures, who knows when I decide to wake up, will it be *spins wheel* eight? eleven? wakes up at seven to check ssss update and then sleep to twelve afterwards?? WHO KNOWS, I'll feel like I haven't slept enough either way, that's my default state. But I am pretty good at getting up early in the mornings, I may not want to but I can get myself out of bed without too many problems at any time I have to. (But that's not to say I won't take nap inbetween classes...... especially in the winter........)

What are the weirdest places you've slept, btw? I've had to sleep on a bench at the oslo airport twice; this one time we had too many guests and had to set up a lavvo in the garden - which isn't too odd to sleep in except there's not enough place for a lavvo in our garden, several of us kept tumbling out of it down the hill; aaand of course the snow cave.
edit: I also think I've slept over at one of those ice hotels in finland, but i might have fabricated this memory


PS: curry, your animation is absolutely glorious
