    Default I just slept for 20 hours

    And I am really annoyed about it.

    I went to sleep at 11PM, I woke up at 7PM.

    Personally I thought it was 7AM when I woke up, and only just found out this was not the case a minute ago.

    My sleep schedule is now completely ruined. Hopefully I'll be up in time to go to school tomorrow.

    Well I recommend working out. HARD. Even if you are really out of shape, do it. It will tire you, and a warm shower after that will relax you, making you more ready for sleep. At least, that's what works for me.

    That oddly doesn't work for me.

    Instead I'll probably just try to stay up until I get home from school tomorrow (Class is 6PM to 10PM), but seeing as I just had 20 hours of sleep... I don't forsee a problem.

    In that case may I recommend a hammer to the head?

    Note: DP does not endorse using a hammer as a way of falling asleep.

    On the topic of sleeping for a long time, I've had plenty of times where I thought I did. Fall asleep for like an hour and wake up and then absolutely panic thinking I missed a class or something like that.

    The only time I slept that long (I think it ended up being 27 hours total) was after local anesthesia for a surgery. Came back home, the drugs wore off, I lied down for a moment, next thing I know it's tommorow.

    That happened when I got my wisdom teeth out. I went to the dentist on Thursday and all of a sudden it was Saturday.

    Man, I hate that. Back in college for a half of a semester or so I would accidentally take a nap in the afternoons after classes were over (at about 4pm or so, having been in class since 9am), and then I'd wake up about an hour or two later and think it was the next morning.

    Wow. First we have a Playgrounder who stayed/(is staying?) up for like 2 days straight, and now a Playgrounder who slept for a full day. It's like, screwed-up-sleep-patterns in the Playground. I actually half-thought that these'd be from the same person...

    Many thanks to El Goonish Shive for the banner image.

    Give a player a fish, and he’ll probably try to sell it to an NPC fisherman.

    Teach a player to fish, and next week he’ll show up with the book, “The Complete Adventuring Fisherman”. He’ll start hunting for some monstrous leviathan to catch and enslave, and he’ll be dual-wielding two fishing poles.

    Wow 18 is my record, and that was after getting about 7 hours of sleep over the last four days. Although I have a really wierd sleep schedule, I sleep naturally for about 6 and a half hours, then occasionally crash for a good four or five extra on some days.
    I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

    I'm not joking one bit. I would buy the hell out of that.

    The only time I slept for more than 18 hours straight was after a LONG plane ride. Ahhh... the wonders of jet lag.

    I envy you. I haven't been able to sleep over ten hours in years and lately I'm glad for anything more then six hours. Of course, lately, that has been my conscious choice, but even when I have time I have hard time sleeping over eight hours, unless I'm really exhausted. And I haven't been that exhausted in a long time.

    Don't know if that is a good or bad thing.

    One time my parents (waaay before I was born) went to Munich, Germany for... I think a business trip, and they had a really long travel day and when they got to the hotel they took a nap... which lasted something like 23 hours. The hotel staff decided to check up on them to make sure they didn't die or something.

    My record is probably around the 11-12 mark... I feel lame.

    Just yesterday I slept for 15 and a half hours. Though I just can't sleep for a long time anymore, but thats cause my girlfriend has this strange liking of talking to me when I just wake up, and phones me at absurd times like 3am.

    I take advantage of that on school days though and talked her into waking me up at 6am every day. ^_^

    Personal record: 49 hours. Why? I honestly don't know. What I DO know is that I no longer lock my room when I sleep (I used to be silly about that, but no longer!), and I take damn good care to get a *more* balanced sleep schedule.

    Normally, I sleep around 10-14 hours a night. I find that staying up for 18-20 and sleeping 10-12 works great for me. I'm always decently rested, and I have the schedule to accommodate my strange sleeping patterns.

    To everyone out there, don't sleep more than 36 hours at a time. Not only does it mess you up mentally and physically, but when you miss two days of life with no one seeing you, stuff gets crazy.
