Ok, so its 1:07 Am over here, and my dad said it was time to go to bed. I started discussing this, and lost.
I decided to check my comics before bed, and lo and behold, This was there!

Hmm, I never stayed up a whole night. Not planning to do so anytime in the near future either.

The comic is nice though it's not that funny imo.

It can be quite fun, actually. Get some mates, get some snack and movies, neglect natural patterns of behaviour, etc.

And that's one of the things I love about XKCD. It all feels like one massive in-joke :D

Because it pretty much is.

Heh, I barely sleep as it is, during breaks its at least four before I go to sleep, and during school I dunnno its anywhere from 2-3 before I actually think about sleeping or go to sleep. My problem? Caffeine has an extremely delayed reaction in my body, For instance, if I drink a cup of espresso at eight, at about 1 I will be wide awake, anytime before that though I'm usually able to go to sleep.

Good God.

Am I the only one on here that maintains a regular sleeping schedule? (in bed by 11:00pm)

DarkMirror

I do that during the school week. Weekends and holidays don't apply.

For me it all depends. Recently I haven't gotten much sleep because I just bought a whole bunch of books from my christmas money. I try to sleep by 1 am, but usually i'll be aching to read a book, or watch a few movies, to which i'll fall asleep usually at 7. I don't really like it, because I'm insecure about my height, and apparently the body grows only at night (maybe i'm ignorant...).

For example, last night I found this 2 disc T.V. special of the count of monte cristo starring gerard depardieu! how could any sane person pass that up? It seemed to stretch to 5 hours but was so worth it!

The body grows all the time, however it grows ever so slightly better when you're resting.

I was trying to get on a regular sleeping schedule. However, if you look at my current post time, you'll see that I am failing horribly at that effort.

lulz. That is kinda freaky.
But yeah, the holidays are great. We just finished opening out gifts, and boy! A cell phone for me, as well as a bunch of 40K minies to paint. We also got a copy of the OnSpec magasine that my dad got his story "The blood of a virgin is hard to come by legitimately" published in.

Heh, that sounds like an interesting story. Is it available online anywhere?

DarkMirror

Possibly. It was a birthday story for my step mum, and me and my little sister helped my dad think of ideas for it.

dang. Sleep is for those who like be in a state of unconsciousness. It is useless. Yet I enjoy it anyway. Although being on WB at 12:30 am or later is not helping me sleep. :P
