How many hours of sleep do you need to function?

[chunkles]

hey idiot architecture students, don't be architecture students.  ding.  you are now free to move about your fantastic life.  don't be goddamn idiots.

[Rage Against the McKee]

maybe we need a KSU MNE ELITES premium board

No girls allowed!

Oh man burn central.

there were more than you would expect though.

Did they make up more than or less than 3% of the MNE student body?

[yoga-like_abana]

i have no clue, the body and the mind is a wonderfully confusing thing

The reason you had to pull all nighters in Arch. School is because you'd be on a nice schedule to finish your project up early and your teacher would come around about 3-4 days before your deadline and have you change a buch of crap on it.

It's called prepping you for the real world when demanding clients change their minds and then want everything fixed yesterday, it's also why the architecture school at K-State is one of the best.

Yeah, the pay sucks, that's because people don't want to pay for good design because they watched a couple of shows on the DIY/HGTV and think "Hey I could design something like that".

Don't forget the lengthy football catch sessions in the union courtyard! And you HAVE to toss the Frisbee around a couple times a day.

I guess I wasn't cool enough to play catch in the courtyard...and I can't throw a frisbee worth a crap.

So, hacky sack, then?

Just took a good 1 hour nap to catch up on sleep. Only had 7 hours the past 2 days and by 5:00pm I couldn't even keep my eyes open.

[jdagg2003]

Running on 5 again today, verry tired

[Cartierfor3]

Had 2 nights in a row of 5 and crashed with a 2 hour nap today.  Need 7-8 to be tip top.

I sleep 8-9 hours every single day of the week.

[cDubya]

Working on a submarine and now having a young child have groomed me into someone who only gets/needs 4-6 hours. If I sleep 7-8 hours I am dragging ass all day.

I don't like it, but it is what it is.

[HerrSonntag]

I generally shoot for 7 hours a day, i can do 5 once or a few 6s in a row without having to nap it up to make up the difference.

[Spracne]

I genuinely need about 8 hours.  I can do 7 for a few nights, but that's it.

How long ya been out? After eight years of standing watch, it took me a few years to get back to regular sleep of 7-8 hours. Thirteen years later... I need my sleep.

[The Big Train]

If I get 4-5 combined between the 12 times I wake up every night, its a good night.

[bones129]

5.5--7.5.

[TownieCat]

At least 6 to function, but 7 to function well. I have forgotten what it feels like to get 8+.

[DQ12]

cdubya was stationed on a submarine??  that's nuts.  i've heard life on a sub is miserable.

I got out in 2009, so maybe a few more years and I'll get back to 'normal'?

@Dlew- don't let me paint a picture of years and years at sea, I got out in '09 because of a jacked up shoulder (that still isn't fixed). But yes, submarine life is something that can't be understood unless you do it yourself. It's a whole different world.


IPA4Me - what was your rate? (If you don't mind me asking)

[Tobias]

and i thought "working on a submarine" was some sort of lingo i wasn't hip to

[mocat]

can we have a submarine stories thread? do people have claustrophobic breakdowns despite knowing what they were getting into? does the whole thing creak and groan when you do a super deep dive? what constitutes a super deep dive? i want to know all this stuff

I'm sure we 'could'.

Yes.

Not really.

That's one I really can't tell you, it really is Top Secret.

Do you get to drink Coke and eat popcorn on a submarine?  Is that also Pop Secret?

Yes, and sometimes. No, that stuff isn't PS.

This thread really is about to get derailed, isn't it? What have I done?!
