[mod edit]moved from lounge  [/mod edit]
Well, I'm trying to get to the bottom of a life long condition(situation?)....basically for 20 years I've almost never felt tired or sleepy....exhusted yes, but never tired with the exception of certain situations(certain signal cues and cars tend to do the job)...
Going to sleep generally is very strange as I almost never feel the need to sleep. However that's not the weird part......
I'm always high energy 24/7! Even after days of no sleep!! I can go days and I barely feel the urge to sleep and almost NEVER experience any negative effects becuase of it.....Even if I eat no food at all or stick to a strickly simple diet(which I do now, which has little if any sugars or caffiene), it doesn't effect my energy levels!
At first I thought insomnia, but since I don't feel any negative effects from lack of sleep, I wonder if I merely have a very efficient body that require very little sleep?
When I do sleep, I can go for 8-10 hours, if I get woken up before then, I'm usually tired and groggy for a bit and and then I'm back to high energy me 4 or so hours later. If I miss a night of sleep entirely, I feel little of it usually. I can work out, party, dance, etc. without any negative consequence....I think I actually gain energy.....

Sleep is for the weak...I just had to say that sorry.
Some people do require less sleep...or it could be some sort of chemical/hormonal imbalance, but if it's not negative then I really have nothing to say...

| I've been thinking of trying an experiment since I have a week and a half off. I want to try to say up for atleast 4 or 5 days. I read you can halucinate and hear voices.

| Same here, I had a buzz. It felt really good. But being tired felt bad. I've only stayed up for 2 days, and it sucks. If I do go to sleep I'll sleep for 15 more hours if I stay up for days.

Can't say I can go for long periods without sleep. But I have gone for long periods on little sleep. I don't seem to need to sleep very long, or very often. I actually sleep much more than I need to, because I like to dream.
One of these days I should do a test to find out how much sleep I actually need everyday. It's probably only a couple of hours.

| As far as I know, the average human should have 8 hours of sleep.

Well I'm totally different... need my sleep badly and I feel sleep deprivation very soon. I envy you, there's a lot of stuff I want to do in waking life and I usually only go to bed because I have to. If I had the choice, I would never go to bed; but in that case, I would never have found this lucid dreaming stuff which is awesome off course
