Sleep

Go down to your nearest Starbucks and buy yourself a huge cup of coffee.

 

I typically get 7-8 hours of sleep a day, split up into 2-3 chunks. Sodium got used to me sleeping a more "normal" cycle in the first semester of this school year because I was forced into it by my schedule. My body doesn't care when I sleep, as long as I get it.

I think I might have fallen asleep in class once, in 9th grade, Algebra. It was dark, hot, and the teacher was projecting something mathy on the projector... I think I nodded off for ~5 minutes.

Other than that, I can never fall asleep unless I intend to, and when I intend to it takes a certain amount of dedicated effort. There have only been a few times in memory when I could just lie down and fall asleep within ten minutes... it is more typically half an hour to an hour before I am out.

 

I think I need more sleep. I fell asleep last night without trying, and woke up this morning and realized that I still had my glasses on and was still wearing my shoes and socks.

 

To get rid of your tiredness from not having enough sleep, you have to sleep more. I know what you're all thinking. It sounds crazy, but it's true. Drinking Coke or coffee can help temporarily, but I wouldn't suggest getting into the habit of it.
To get rid of your tiredness from oversleeping, I find it's best just to get out in the Sun. I dunno if there's a reason behind it, but it always works for me. At first, after about 2-5 minutes, you'll find that you start feeling more awake, and then after a while, about 5-10 minutes more, you'll feel like getting active. However I live in Australia, so I dunno, you might need to spent a bit longer if the Sun isn't as strong where you guys are.
Hope that helped.

 

I usually sleep for that long and sometimes I can even sleep for 16 hours straight.

I sleep way too much and take it from me you shouldn't sleep that long unless you really really need it.

 

For me, coffee gives me cold soars, and a sore throat. Thats horrible so NAH!

 

You don't want to get caffeine dependent like I am.

 

i generally get 5-6 hours a night on the weekdays.. its so bad in school.

 

@Darkone Wha? does that mean you always rely on caffeine? I know some people who have gotten used to caffeine and caffeine has no affect on them anymore o.o

 

The only thing the ammount of caffen in coffe does for me is make my muscles tense up and give me a headache.

 

I like the smell of coffee, but i hate the taste. And, Rex, you CAN get addicted to caffine. Caffine, like cocaine and ecstacy, is a drug. Therefore, people can get addicted to it and/or develop a higher tolerance. If a person gets addicted, that's always bad, because then they're reliant and hooked and going without it can give people headaches and cravings. But, it can be worse if a person gets tolerant, because then they feel the need to ingest more to get the same level of whatever it is they experianced.

I'm not saying caffine is bad, because it's not deadly or lethal in small doses, you'd have to drink a lot, or consume a LOT of coffee beans to get sick or die from them. but the taste, to me, is bad, too. And it doesn;t seem to work well for me. I'd rather wake up on my own ^-^

 

Too late for me! Why didn't you save me earlier??!!

 

damnit, it's been a week since I got some decent sleep and it's another one to go for some more -.-

 

I never get a decent amount of sleep, welcome to the club.
the couches and beds are thatta way, -->

 

you've got couches and beds in the club and you still don't sleep enough?

 

yup.
'Tis a pity and nearly a paradox, innit?

 

yeah, but it doesn't help any of us, now does it?

 

mmm, no.
We'd use sleepign pills for that.
sadly, our club spends all its money on other things *cough* video games and soda *cough*

 

They're too soft.  I sink 5 feet into the mattress like its gonna eat me alive. Also I have reason to believe that room is haunted.

 

Yeah that could be a problem. I never tried to sleep on anything THAT soft. Haunted you say? I may pay a visit after all
