Default Re: OT Poll: Amount of Sleep...

Heh. If people ever ask me bout losing weight (lost 60kg in 1.5years), I always swear by the Fork Diet. Goes by one simple rule: PUT DOWN THE FORK!

Yeah, but I'm not able for that sort of thing anymore. Used to stay up a 2-3 days in a row when I had loads to do, but I found sleeping just 4 hours a day made me able to do way more, since it kept my mind fresh.
But if you want a real challenge, try solitary confinement. Makes sleep deprivation seem like a cake walk. And yes, I did that too, again for the Psych department (hey, I was a student, they were offering money. What else could I do?). Now THAT screws you up nicely. Went five days without seeing or hearing anyone or anything, and when they let me out I went racing around the place hugging everybody I saw and crying for joy when they spoke to me. Everyone always says solitary can't be that bad, but trust me, it's worse.
