<p>Not since senior year started. Too much work, not enough time to sleep.</p>
<p>i'm almost always sleepy! but a good morning run makes me awake for like... an hour?</p>
<p>Today I got 8 hours of sleep, probably the most I've ever gotten on a school day, and still felt sleepy during class. Yesterday I got 6 and nearly fell asleep during math, but 6.5-7 hours is what I usually get. </p>
<p>I did get only 5 once or twice and make it through feeling fine. Although I don't really have much work, I just am a fantastic procrastinator and bad at sleeping early.</p>
<p>The cup of green tea I drink every morning is starting to lose its effect. :[</p>
<p>I'm going to get a parking permit next year just so I don't have to wake up at 6:00 for the bus when homeroom starts at 7:30.</p>
<p>nope..and that's a truth i've learned to accept.</p>
<p>In Senior year? PFFFTTT.</p>
<p>But, I was awake the other 17 years of my life...!</p>
<p>Argh. Normally I'm too tired. And on Saturdays, I "oversleep" and STILL feel too tired. =[</p>
<p>no. and this has been seriously freaking me out since 7th grade.</p>
<p>it's not even a sleep deprivation thing. it's just as i've grown older i've gotten more detached from the outside world. i think it has to do with growing up and thinking more.</p>
<p>This is an interesting question, actually.. because no, I never truly feel awake no matter how much sleep I get. It's quite irritating because it seems I can never put 100% effort and concentration into anything when I am suffering from a lack of sleep.</p>
<p>No. There's never too much sleep for me.</p>
<p>Hmmmm, I think I'll retract my previous statement on the basis that I don't really know what "truly awake" is supposed to mean. I'm sure I could have a helluvalot more alertness if I was under the influence of some of the more potent CNS stimulants or something...</p>
<p>El oh el.</p>
<p>I just mean, like, not at all... blurry or out of it, ya know? Like, really alert and focused.</p>
<p>In addition to being a nightlife kind o' guy, I also happen to be an early morning person. That's when I run (unless it's really cold).</p>
<p>Any lower than 50 degrees and it is too cold to run in the morning. Your hearts just not in it when you wake up to freezing cold.</p>
<p>right now, dude.
I usually go through periods where I am alert and absorb everything teacher says, while right now, I'm completely zoned out and "hazy" and can't pay attention.</p>
<p>I think that no matter how tired I get [oh wait, well sometimes though] I really am super awake [IF i'm not asleep! hehe]. I do get really irritable though and headache-y if I'm tired, and then if i'm SO tired that I really am not awake anymore and am pretty much asleep, then I"m super out of it and tired and confused and can't think at all... lol.</p>
<p>Agree with most of my sleep-deprived peers...I sleep in Art History and sometimes English...like literally just sit there with my head lolled to the side and my eyes closed...this is mostly because I procrastinate work/try to have a life beyond studying. Sleeping late for several years must have disturbed my Circadian Rhythm or something because just as other people said above, sleeping earlier only makes it worse the next day.</p>
<p>BIPHASIC SLEEPING Ftw</p>
<p>Never since 10th grade. I try not to sleep in class though, and I had never done it (mostly because I always sit in the front). Fri/Sat nights I sleep like 12 hours and STILL sleepy.</p>
<p>after I take a lot of adderall</p>
<p>I go through phases, each one lasting anywhere from a week to two months. One kind of phase is: I think I can conquer the world!
The other, more common one is: Why am I not sleeping?</p>
<p>The latter usually results in me falling asleep in classes that I don't need to pay attention in (Calc, for example)</p>
<p>Last year, I started to realize that I'm rarely ever completely alert, and I used that as an excuse to get nothing done ("Oh, I'll just get more sleep tonight"). Now, I just exercise, drink coffee, and don't use grogginess as an excuse not to do work.</p>
