1. How many hours do you normally sleep at night?
Between 6-1/2 and 9. I wake up a few times during the night, as I sleep very lightly. Also, I seem to have trouble the next day if I get less than 8 hours and/or if I sleep past 8:00am no matter how late I went to bed.
2. Do you wish you had more time to sleep? Or do you wish that you slept less?
I really wish I could get by with less sometimes. I think once I'm back in school, I (hopefully) may readjust to needing less again.
3. Do you like sleeping?
No. I like not feeling sleepy or tired, though. Lately (in the last couple of weeks), with my sinus problems, I've had trouble finding a comfortable sleeping position that keeps my face and head from hurting the whole next day. That has led to a problem of sleeping with my left arm in an uncomfortable position and it has been stiff and sore lately.
4. What is the longest continuous period that you have spent awake? Why did you do it?
It was for about 36 hours. Last time I was in grad school, we had an assignment we received on a Friday evening and had to give group presentations on it starting Saturday morning. On the hour commute home from Ball State late that Saturday afternoon when it was all over, I don't remember the drive. Pulling into the driveway, I thought, "Ugh. I just drove an hour and don't remember doing it." Eep.
5. If you were offered the chance to eliminate sleep from your life, with absolutely no negative physical or psychological side effects, would you take it? Why or why not? What if this chance was only possible for you, and not for any of your friends or family, or society at large?
Where do I sign up? I would love to be able to go without sleep - I could use the time to do so much more, even passive activities like reading.
