Why is not sleeping a sign of your geekhood?

[yobarman]

Why do all the hardcore geeks gimme crap about going to bed at like 12. They're like "oh man you're weak, sleep is for the weak!" I dunno about the rest of ya'll but sleeping is my favorite pasttime. Some people I know are like "I went to bed at 5am!" Then I say "you're an idiot!"

speaking of which i could use some sleep right about now..

 

[urameatball]

well... true geeks have better things to do than sleep.

I mean, the pleasure you get from surfing anandtech will surely beat the amount of pleasure you get from 10hrs sleep.

you know why? because in the 10hrs of sleep... you miss out on maybe 200 off topic threads that you could have read and replied to!

ptf a lot of americans dont realize that sleep is good for you. There's plenty of studies and crap but im damn tired and i dont feel like looking for them :Q

 

[CrimsonWolf]

hmmm... sleep... gooood...

I generally go to sleep sometime between 12:00 and 1:00am, and wake up around 8:00-9:00

 

[CrimsonWolf]

As for the question at hand, the "you're an idiot!" response is the same one I give to those types of people.

i used to be like that during college, but by the time you wake up, half the day's gone, not to mention classes

Cause true geeks wont go to bed till thier code is finished....

 

[mindiris]

People trade sleep for time to do more stuff, even if less efficiently. Hey...I still have a few more hours of wake time in me

 

[erub]

i dunno, but i personally like to sleep from 3 am until 11 am. guess its my biological clock or somethin. of coures, that's not possible during school....

 

[lowfatbaconboy]

im the same way i can get 10 hours of sleep on a school day and i feel friggin tired when i wake up at 8 or so to go to school
but on weekends i can stay up till like 4am and wake up at 10 and feel perfectly fine

i just can't get to sleep early like before 12 ...ever
plus night time is my time when parents aren't awake and i can play games and do graphics and whatever the hell i want without them naging me to do something or get off the computer

 

[ElPool]

i have prescription drugs to make me sleep. mmmm.... drugs....

 

[Jokeram]

Think it is time I slept.. I guess I am 'an idiot'...
