The 4AM $10 question

[EK WAFFLR]

Should I try to sleep or just keep going until tomorrow night?

Points in favor of sleeping: I like to sleep.
                                     I get rest.
Point in favor of not sleeping: I get shit done.
                                         I get shit done.
                                         See above.
                                         Also, I tend to come up with extremely silly stuff I can flood the site with.

When do you have to get up? If you're going to get less than five or six hours, stay up and take a fifteen minute nap before you have to go. It'll power you through the day, but you're gonna crash when you finally go to sleep later.

[Eater of Clowns]

You should probably sleep.

Getting shit done is great and all but, you know, it's not a biological function unless you're being very literal about it.

I should be up in four and a half hour. I wish I could take fifteen minute naps, but when I fall asleep I fall asleep really hard.

You should probably sleep.

True, true. I'm leaning towards a couple of hours sleep, and a lot of energy drinks and espresso upon awakening.

SLEEP IS LIKE COFFEE FOR PEOPLE WITH TOO MUCH TIME.

Sleep is for people with nothing better to do. I sometimes go several days at a stretch with no sleep when I'm out at sea and LOOK AT ME. I'M FUCKING FINE.

Points in favor of sleeping: I like to sleep.
                                     I get rest.
Point in favor of not sleeping: I get shit done inefficiently, with some staring at the wall involved.
                                         I get shit done poorly, with some minor fuck ups.
                                         See above. Get to be cranky and people have to accept it.
                                         Also, I tend to come up with extremely silly stuff I can flood the site with. Same as posting while drunk.

This is based on my own behavior at work under sleep dep conditions.

I desperately accept whatever sleep is offered to my by the Great Above.

That said, sleep is a shitty way to spend one's time when you can instead yell at people and make bad choices that lead you to pure, unadulterated FUN, which while you may not remember having OTHER people will. Which comes in handy.

Plus, life is the longest thing you'll experience. So don't feel guilty about SLACK, it makes the bullshit grow. Or something.

I stunned myself by crashing out around 9 last night.

Then I woke up at 2am and couldn't get back to sleep.   

[EK WAFFLR]

I finally crashed one and a half hour before I was supposed to get up. Managed to postpone stuff until tomorrow.
Oh well, so much for that experiment.

Doing physical work beyond the 16 hour awake mark seems to be ok (although things like driving, after 24 hours can be dangerous).

But yeah, doing anything that requires concentration, like reading or writing, beyond the 16 hour mark is inefficient, id venture to say beyond the 12 hour mark if its intensive.

You guys just need higher-capacity adrenal glands.
