Sleep

[RevanTheFireMage]

So I was wondering how much sleep people usually get during the night as I have a very irregular sleep pattern compared to the rest of society's, I usually tend to go to bed at 3-4 in the morning and get up at 7:00 A.M. I do this because a.) It's quiet in my house at night and it's the only time I can relax. b.) I hate sleeping as it's a waste of valuable time because I don't dream or anything while I sleep so I get only what is necessary to keep my body functioning normally. c.) Because I have too much school work to sleep very much. Don't worry I catch up on sleep during the weekends but getting around 7-10 hours Friday and Saturday nights

In short, it's best to get at least 6 hours of sleep a day, though the recommended amount is 8 - for some people, it's ten.  Catching up on lost sleep isn't something you can actually do simply in a couple of marathon sleep sessions per week, but instead you need to catch up over time by adding an hour or so a night for a while.  Chances are your described sleep cycle is leaving you still decently sleep deprived, which isn't good for you over the long term.  Don't just trust the feeling of being rested: "A 2003 study in the journal Sleep found that the more tired we get, the less tired we feel."

I know it's not good for me but if I don't stay up my grades will start to slide and I can't have that, I don't feel rested but it's not like I'm dragging myself all over feeling myself fall asleep. People usually tell me I need more sleep and I agree with them but school will not let me rest until it is done.

I also have nightmares about abuse by students and teachers I have endure.

I don't dream, my mind is weird and I have never really experienced dreams. But I sometimes wake up with the feeling that I'm falling

[kucsidave]

you do dream, you just don't remember them when you wake up. Everyone dreams. always.
That is a basic function of your brain to process the day's information burst. You actually have 5-7 dreams in one night. with short periods between them.
The fact that you don't remember it can either mean that you sleep really deep and your brain separates it from your consciousness completely, or you wake up in the periods between them.
Have a nice dream

is it bad that everytime i see this topic, i get a Veggietales stuck in my head?

[tlmiller]

Ummm, if I knew what a veggietales was, I might have a better answer.

[DarthRevansRevenge]

Kids show, been around in the USA for years, all the characters are talking vegetables? does that not ring any bells?

[tlmiller]

No, but then I was never a fan of kids shows even when I was a kid, with a few exceptions.

I mean I've had dreams but I only remember them every couple of years or so, but during the day I always get this feeling of Deja Vu, which I know is because the brain feels like it's something familiar so it processes it as something that has already happened instead of an event that has never happened before.
