Are you getting sleep?

[Melodia]

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.

[Dravus]

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.

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.  

 

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.  :<

[Zhavi]

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.

[Aris]

I'm in the UK and trying to play in the US timezones.

 

^ 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.

[Faye]

My sleep schedule is virtually nonexistent. I have trouble sleeping anyway, but I work two jobs, one in the morning and one in the evening, so some days I have to wake up around 9 AM, some days I have to wake up around 2PM, and some of the 9 AM days I have to work for 12 hours if I work both jobs that day. o_< I also work only 3 - 4 days a week consecutively, so I have 3 - 4 days off over the weekend. That being said... trying to maintain a sleep schedule is pretty shitty so I've just given up entirely lol. I go to bed anywhere from midnight to 4 AM (aside from the rare nights I go to bed around 10 PM) and then I wake up whatever time I have to for work, or wake up around 2 PM if I don't work that day.

My bedtime tends to be late, as in 5AM-ish, though due to classes I have pulled a few no-sleep nights. A couple of times I've gone to bed at 8-9AM while playing with others--not particularly XIV--but other games with people I've met on XIV.

 

My body is weird and I stay up late either way, regardless of what I'm doing. I'm just a night owl. It's also weird in that no matter how long I stay up, I can only manage about six hours of sleep--eight if I'm terribly lucky--a night/day. Eventually I tend to crash and just pass out for 12 hours, but I can't really say when that will happen.

 

I only regret it when I have to wake up ass early the next morning to try to go to the gym, or when I sleep to the point that I wake up and immediately have to go to work. Since the semester has been so demanding of me, I've just.. not gone to the gym. I know! It sucks and it's horrible of me! But I plan on jumping back into it after and I won't be able to stay up nearly as late anymore.

All of these sleep schedules...

 

It's interesting to see what the body can get used to, it looks like.

[Flashhelix]

if I sleep for more than 5 hours i wake up sick

[Cliodhna Eoghan]

well lately i've been able to sleep in a bit but generally my day looks like this:

get up at about 6:30 or 7am

stay up till maybe catching a nap for an hour from noon to 1pm

possible nap in the car from about 1pm to 2ish (more like a half hour waiting on kid to get outta school)

come home and stay up till about three am (unless i can catch a nap from like 3-5pm)

then get back up at around 6:30-7am next day o3o

 

but with spring break for my daughter i've been getting up closer to around uh....noon... :blush:

I'm like that from time to time. I tend to feel worse if I get a solid night's rest than I do when I wake up from a glorified nap. 

 

I think some people just naturally need less sleep than others.

[Berrod Armstrong]

I wake up at around 3:30 , work out and play a bit of FFXIV until about 5:30 then head out to work at around 5:45. I get home from work at around 18:30, dinner, rest and fool around until about 22:00, then go to bed. I get around five and a half hours of sleep a night, and that works just great for me!

[Devereau]

It is 7:30am and I have not slept. My life is suffering. 

 

Or as Jan once heard me say, "Oh what the Hell, the sun is out? God, that shit is whack."

[MadWater]

My sleep schedule has recently been determined by how many assignments between my classes happen to coincide. This week, for example, has been completely brutal for sleep.

 

Not that I've done myself any favors. "Okay, I'm just going to log in to buy a lotto ticket." "Hey Brave, want to RP?" "Shit yeah!" Four hours later...
