Edited by Auttumnnnn: 1/27/2014 3:11:27 AMI don't get nearly enough sleep. I'm fine.
-
I function just fine with little to no sleep. Nice study though.
-
In related news, I try very hard to be in bed by 10 PM every weeknight. Sleep is nice when you can't normally have it. Don't take it for granted.
-
I feel I can spare 13 IQ.
-
I've been going to bed much more early lately, soon as I'm back home staying up past 1 AM is going to be a recurring theme for me again.
-
I feel like I figured this out on my own.
-
Even if I lose 13 IQ points my IQ is still above 130. I'm fine.
-
I don't think people realize just how important sleep is.

Well you can die quicker from no sleep than no food so yeah.

So then... you stop sleeping for less than 10 days and you die? While during the interim you become a mentally ill child?
