The oldest person in the world, some lady from some country who was I don't know 140 or something just died. She, I think it was a she, used to sleep for 3 days straight and then stay awake for 2 days straight. She was real old, so maybe she had something there.

10 hours of sleep a day? Do you still get the regular 8 or whatever at night?! Cause thats like 18 hours of sleep. You got yourself a whole 6 hour day!

No...I only sleep about 10 hours, if I can...I just separate the sleep in two! That way I get to be up in the calmest hours of the night (from 1 to 5AM...). For example, today I slept from 5AM to 2PM, then from 9PM to 1AM (but I'm sick so I'm more tired than usual)...It depends on my schedule! If I don't have to be up in the day, then I'll be up all night, sleep in the morning and at noon...Sometimes I won't sleep at all or just a few hours, and make up for it when I can.

Thats the most cracked up thing I've heard (read?) all day. I can't stand waking up once in a day, but twice!? Mornings are the devil.

Moc,
those naps are actually a really good energy boost aren't they? I used to do that all the time when I had both jobs. :D

I think it's better to sleep more often in the day then just one big night...But then I'm always mixed up and never know what day it is...

Yes that's very true, especially when it is dark at both 5a.m. and 5 p.m. so you wake up and have to figure out if its morning or evening, and which day it is and what the hell you're supposed to be doing. I think all that stress on the mind causes brain deterioration. (wow, that was difficult to spell :D )
