    Ahh google scholar, the great communicator. Well currently I've been using it to help cite important articles in our research paper since we have our delicious APA requirement.

    School... yeah I'm glad I'll be over with it in a few months, where i could get my degree. I'm already being pushed quite heavily to like graduate asap. Watching some freshmen and even second years cram the crap out of their homeworks is so refreshing though.

    I keep thinking I should sleep more, but I'm wide awake at 5:30am and going to bed earlier doesn't mean I'll get any more sleep, so...I guess not. I'd love to be one of those people who could get by on four hours...I need at least six ._.

    Do you people have a consistent time you go to sleep? If not, you're going to get screwed every time.

    It does generally help to be consistent...otherwise you get too little or you crash ridiculously hard and waste away ten hours or so.

    Sometimes I feel abnormal for having a bedtime, though. Literally everyone I know goes to bed at something like three in the morning.

    Go to bed at 2AM. Wake up around 10AM. Get my 8 hours. Sometimes I get less, and that's fine. I don't try to force more sleep upon myself.

    Well, its either you like your current sleep schedule or be a call center agent who have really different sleep schedules given the nature of their work. I mean sure the whole graveyard schedules may seem normal now for a lot of other jobs, but add the fact that they have basically very high chances of encountering dunghole callers, they usually don't have the best sleep.

    Mine depends on my shift. When I have an early shift I have to get out at 4:30am. Day shift 5:40. So basically I just try to sleep at least 6 hours.

    Given my current schedule which is basically none because of my current academic schedule is = no regular classes and just thesis work, I either get a ton of sleep, sometimes too much sleep if I'm not working with our paper, then the next day, I am awake the whole time working with our paper while a true champion warrior. Given that our research study will involve call center agents as our participants, I've already practiced being awake when i have to.

    I can't imagine napping...it'd royally screw with my internal body clock something awful. I often feel like I'm running on a timer or something. I can't even sleep when I'm not feeling well; I have to be doing things. If I miss sleep...tough luck, really. There are downsides to having fixed hours of sleep too...

    I haven't taken a nap in 10 years. And that was because I was sick, so I was exhausted and just fell asleep for an hour or two.

    I only take naps when I'm really, really sick. If I'm just "normal" sick I won't get to fall asleep anyway. And if I'm okay, don't hold your breath. I'm so sensitive to light and noise I struggle hard enough to set things up properly at night when there is little of either, so in the afternoon it's like... no.

    so if you're sleeping and i just cough near you is that enough to wake you up??

    No, but if you start coughing while I'm awake and don't stop, I'm not falling asleep. Or if there is a dog barking in the background. Or a tap running. Or an air conditioning running and making a static noise in the background. Or someone snoring.
