no. judging by your spelling of "sleep," it looks like you need some.


Edit: It is correct now, but he had it as "Speep"

not getting sleep is hard on the body. and it will catch up with you at some point. my school schedule and work simply won't allow me to get as much as i need, but i get enough to get by, sometimes

Feel a lot better if I go to bed 30 mins earlier (than my usual 2am). Try it sometime.

Sleep is a doorway into the subconscious; in some, that doorway is larger than in others, and open wider.

Sleep is not overrated.

Even if I do pull an all nighter, sleep is better than eating just because the mind and body is so exhausted that you just don't have that karma to keep going. And it lets the body rest and perform functions such as the giving energies to rebuild or repair some systems (I think)

That and who wouldn't benefit and feel better after a good rest.

I usually only sleep like 6 hours..i swear if i sleep more than that I get all drowsy during the day.
Now if i go out drinking then I end up sleeping for like 8-10 hours. :)

If you don't get enough sleep you may live shorter.

But do you really wanna get old and senile, knowing that you slept through the best years of your life?

i used to think so, until my body started crapping out recently. i've constantly been sick and i think it's a direct result of not getting enough sleep. but for me it's a trade off, decent grades for practically no sleep, (EE major).
