I tend to get between 3-5 hours on a typical night. But sometimes more when my body effectively bitchslaps me with sleep. (Typically when I go awol right before certain events....)

Jaliqai · **03-24-2015, 10:28 AM**

I used to get sleep. Then I got swept up into a steady stream of great RP. Now I don't know what sleep is. (And I'm so okay with this!)

I used to try to be in bed by 11pm - 12am central time to wake up around 7am. Nowadays, though, it generally falls more around 2-3am. Whoops. D: Usually by the end of the week, though, I have to crash out early at least once because I'm a wimp and I start falling asleep at the computer.Â

I make up for it on weekends though. 12+ hours of sleep yaaaas.

***Maril*** · **03-24-2015, 10:47 AM**

When I work, I stick to getting 6 hours of sleep at a fairly human time. But I can feel how much RP I am missing out on and it's no fun, so when I do not work/it's weekend..Â

Q: How late do you go to bed?
A: As late as 7am and as early as 2am GMT+1/CET. It depends on if I start RP around my usual "I guess I'm a bit sleepy so I'll snooze cause I am bored anyways" time, or if I've had energy drinks (and they're working).

Q: When do you wake up?
A: I will usually wake up several times, because I am bad at staying asleep (Stress is a wonderful thing), but I tend to get up at the latest around 12PM. My sleeping pattern can be described as 6+1 or 6+2, as I will usually nap somewhere in the space between 4pm and 6pm GMT+1/CET for as little as 30 mins or as much as 2 hours.Â
IF I have an appointment somewhere at 10AM and I will only get 3 hours of sleep, I'll get up anyways. I'll feel like shit, but I have a very high motivation for keeping to my promises of physical presence.Â

Q: doyouregretit?
A: Sometimes. Mostly when I drink energydrinks and I end up bored at 3am for some ungodly reason. I'll usually get something productive done, but my main motivation for staying up is RP. So if RP doesn't happen, it's a bit of a fizzle.Â

I will say that I have adapted my sleeping pattern a lot both to being a roleplayer and just in general, as I recovered from a bad case of insomnia some years ago and basically had to figure out how to sleep and not feel utter shit when getting up. I have found that 6 hours followed by a nap during the day is ideal - If I sleep for less or for longer, I usually feel drowsy for quite a while and find it hard to get up. It's absolutely irrelevant if those 6 hours happen in the day or in the night, and I have actually also gone to bed at 9pm only to get up at 3am which is like an hour before most US events start for me. I just can't always do that because i'd be neglecting my dear EU RPing friends.

I tend to get swept up in scenes or even just conversation at times, so recently about 2 am is bedtime on work nights, then I'm up at 7 or 7:30 at the latest.Â

I regret it only in the same way that I regret eating too much good food and having too much to drink. That is to say, "Only for the first hour or two the next morning." Smile

Rosamund · **03-24-2015, 10:52 AM**

Usually go to bed at around midnight and wake up at 8 am. Sometimes I stay up til 2 or 3 am. I don't regret it because I'm having fun RPing and I always have plenty of coffee to hand. If I'm suffering with insomnia (which I do every few weeks or so) then I can be up as late as 5 or 6 am. Don't have much choice about it then though. Undecided

Seye Qhesu · **03-24-2015, 10:56 AM**

Don't listen to kei. He can't blame me.Â

I normally stay up till 1:30 - 2:00am everyday night while getting up at 6am for work. Going 5 bed does not equal going to sleep however. Used to such a schedule from raiding in wow for 8 years.

Do I regret it? Nope. Just used to it.

Liandri · **03-24-2015, 11:09 AM**

I actually make myself ill over lack of sleep sometimes, it's terrible, don't do it!

Now, I live in sunny, lovely, fantastic Britland. (Sarcasm noted). All of my role play partners do not, aside from one. In fact most people are 6 - 8 hours behind me. Recently I go to bed between 5-6am and wake up around 2/3pm, but I used to stay up until anywhere between 11am and 4pm. I won't point fingers, but these people know who they are.

Do I regret it? The only thing I regret is not being in the same time zone.

Spethah · **03-24-2015, 11:10 AM**

12 hours a day, occasionally 8-10. When do I sleep? When I'm tired. I have no schedule as I don't have anything to wake up to. As a result I can get up whenever and go to sleep whenever.Â

Do I regret it? Sort of. Whilst it's nice and healthy and I wake up awake and functioning, there are moments where I wake up really late at night or really early in the morning.

Flickering Ember · **03-24-2015, 11:52 AM**

Lol. Last night I stayed up until 5 am RPing but I did so because I didn't have to go into work until late today.Â

I used to consistently stay up until 6am to RP and then wake up at 1pm but I had a job that let me do that and because of that I usually wasn't home until 11pm-12am at night. Nowadays I go.to bed much earlier. The time I have to be in for work fluctuates across the week. If I have to wake up at 6:30 I almost always missing out on sleep. I should be in bed at 10 on those days but I almost never do. I consider going to bed at 11pm-12am on those nights as me being 'responsible.Â

Often times I end up staying up later though. I'm not always RPing at that point, a lot of the time I just don't want to get to bed. I create a paradox for myself where I dread the next day but fulfill that prophecy through my dreading.

I do regret it if I get less than 6 hours, especially if it is less than four. Often times I end up crashing on nights I don't have to wake up early. If the RP was epic, emotional, or just generally exceptional I won't regret it no matter what. Smile

Â Last night's definitely was for me!

Yeah, so it ranges wildly whne I go to bed. 11pm-2am is the norm for me, sometimes later, but almost never past 4am. I am trying to get better on the nights I should be in bed early. >_>;

Matthrian · **03-24-2015, 12:06 PM**

I regret it every single time in the morning when I go to assault my phone for being an asshole.

Short and week...Never regret it at the time, just afterwards is awful. Sort of like a hangover.

Melodia · **03-24-2015, 12:33 PM**

Always in bed by 10 pm and up at 4 am for work. I cannot deviate from this as I have a spouse and a small child. RL always more important than any rp or game.

Cato · **03-24-2015, 12:53 PM**

My sleeping pattern has been messed up for years. On some days I struggle to stay awake and on others I'm full of energy and can't bring myself to lie down long enough to get some proper rest. I've just sort of dealt with it as best I can - and eat healthily to ensure the impact is dulled.

Living in England means I'm in a completely different timezone to most people here which is a bit of a shame. I've met a lot of great people by choosing to play on Balmung though so that certainly makes it worth it! Oddly enough I don't encounter many EU role-players even when I am active during normal EU hours. Either we're the minority or just very fractured.

g0ne · **03-24-2015, 01:45 PM**

T^T

I can't stay awake any later than midnight. I can't help it! I'm half dead by then! School days I wake early because class, and otherwise usually up by 10-11 am. Â

Do I regret it? No... I don't have a choice... because lupus. -.- Though I really do wish I could stay up late or wake up early and RP with people. Â :<

Zhavi · **03-24-2015, 02:00 PM**

There was a time doing forum and mud rp that I'd stay up all night and then continue the rp during work breaks . . . but I can't do that any more. >< I need at least six hours to be cognizant for work and school (I start fumbling my words on the phone when I don't get enough sleep, which really makes us look unprofessional).

If I get four or less hours... things like monday happen, where I forgot my wallet (luckily a roommate was kind enough to drop it off at work), forgot my homework, put my purse in the wrong area at work (my coworker pulled it out of a filing cabinet and was like 'any reason why you put your purse here?' uhhh...) and wind up doing a presentation for class by drawing on the whiteboard and then trying to use the dry eraser to erase it with the whiteboard cleaner (which left a smear I couldn't take care of because I had to get back to work). Then I go home to take an hour nap and wind up sleeping through until the next morning . . .which means double homework tonight.

Sooo... yeah, I'm getting sleep. I have to, or else I start falling apart. Undecided

^ This.

I go to bed around 3:30am on Sundays because that's my raid night, but end up staying awake throughout the night usually because I don't fall asleep easily. A few times a week I go to bed 2-3 because of something on the game, be it roleplay, raiding or just wanting to spend time with US friends.
