How has your day been?

[Ashangelo]

Worked 7-5, did some grocery shopping, now relaxing at home.

The glorious life of an adult lol.

[Davetello]

Waiting on an assignment score. Been confirmed that it will be received by Tuesday. I think I might do fairly well but I also made some obvious & glaring errors, uncharacteristically. I look forward to getting the result though - the tutor seems very nice and she always gives good feedback.

[Prowler]

Just a typical relaxing Sunday. Monday is nearing by, though.

Hasn't been too eventful. That's how I like weekends. I started some sort of Forgotten Relms series of books that numbers in the 200's and am totally lost as to where they all fit chronologically. Watched some Simpsons season 3 and 7. Oh, and I slept a lot this afternoon. I couldn't help it. It was freezing outside.

Sounds about right. Weekends, especially Sunday, is a day to just sit back and take it easy.

[blindturtle02]

Exactly. I love to read so I usually set aside quite a lot of time on weekends to do that.

So... after the all-nighter, I got out of bed at like, um, 4pm. I regret nothing. (Well, reading that script is something. Other than that...) Rained all day and temps never made it to into the 60s as predicted, so.. meh, didn't miss much. I did get the fish tank cleaned, that's something.

Well played. Not a thing wrong with all-nighters. I did a 48 hour er, went to bed at 3pm, missed all of the football and woke up at 11.30pm. It's now 2.35 am.

I've been pulling 1 every month lately since I keep fixing and breaking my sleep. I don't like them, though. And 8 times out of 10, my body tells my mind to go to bed at around 10-11 am.

My record is being up for 33 hours straight. 48 and beyond? Don't you start having hallucinations and paranoia at that point? And around 65 hours... don't you just collapse on the ground and fall asleep instantly?

Today is one of those f*ck everybody and everything days!

Think somewhere between 33 and 36 is my personal record, unintentionally. Hadn't been able to sleep at all one night then had to work all the following evening at a part-time job. Came home and stupidly had an energy drink with dinner. Those things have never made me feel anything so didn't think they really affect me much, and it was some berry flavor, it was pretty good. But then it kept me awake a second night.

I'm not much of a drinker and never been drunk in my life, but the effects of that amount of lack of sleep was probably the nearest I've been to something similar to being drunk. I had to call off a work, there's no way I could have even handled driving. Worried my mother but I was mildly amused. That next sleep was super really good though, 13 hours straight I think. lol

I don't like them, but they can be useful now and then.

48 hours wasn't planned. I almost did start having hallucinations, yes. Actually, I said on here that I woke up in that period but that was a lie - I hadn't actually slept, I'd just tried to. But I like to pretend I'm a normally functioning individual from time to time so I lied and said I'd been sleeping.

I have incredible stamina (oo-er). I've been awake for 30-50 hours on multiple occasions. I don't drink coffee and rarely drink energy drinks either.

The toughest parts about all-nighters are resisting the temptation of lying on bed at two times of the day:

- Early morning(between 6 and 10 am). Doesn't matter how long you've been up, whether it's been 4 hours or 20. Early morning ALWAYS makes you sleepy.

- Mid-afternoon(From 4pm on). Don't even dare to take a quick nap. You shut your eyes off for about 5 minutes and once you open them... it's 8pm.

Worked all day but I have the next two days off

Fvck sake man, that's so true. I thought it was just me

I drink coffee, but not energetic drinks. I must be the only person in the world who still hasn't tried Red bull. I need to cut back on coffee, though, since it makes me anxious sometimes. And man, when I pull allnighters, my anxiety gets kinda bad around lunch time. And speaking of that, allnighters make me hungry as hell due to the unbalanced levels of sugar in my blood to keep my body awake. So they end up being the opposite of profit.

Haha, I get what you're saying son.

You should get into sports - play football, lift weights, whatever. That will allow you to develop a routine, discipline, as well as making you tired enough to sleep at night.

I used to hit the gym a few years ago. Might try to get back to it this year. Although, after a certain point, I just got bored of lifting weights, and had trouble managing my free time once I joined University.

I'm thinking about starting with some weights this year. I need to eat a lot though. I saw some photos from 2011 & my arms were really big. Probably looked bigger because of the angle of the photos but back then I was still significantly more muscular than I am now, since I'm now a scrawny runt.

If we were from the same area we could have been gym buddies. Oh well.

I joined the gym because I'm the opposite. I'm naturally thin. In fact, I come from a long lineage of thin people. Not even when they gotten older have my family members gained weight significantly. It took me like two gym sessions to get biceps. Before that I couldn't carry a grocery bag containing two 1,5L water bottles all the way home from the supermarket. Also, I've gotten fairly visible abs since then. Not a six pack, but if you stand about 5 meter away from me, you'll definitely notice them. Being skinny has that advantage, I suppose. Also, I'm that dude who has weak chest muscles but strong and wide back muscles.
