Does anyone here enjoy being excessively tired? If yes, do you find that you somehow seem more awake when in this state? Just curious..

NO I don't but as I've suffered for insomnia for years I'm relatively used to 4/5 hours of sleep during term time. However, as I'm home alone I seem to be unable to sleep before the sun comes up- so about 6am!! GREAT! :rolleyes:

So yeah, I'm knackered and feel SH*T, NOT enjoying it AT ALL. :frown:

I hate being tired. At all. But then sometimes it's nice to sleep... I dunno, I'd like to be able to turn tiredness on and off at will. :biggrin:

Done it myself, on many occasions. Both intentionally and otherwise.

You mean more alert i think, not more awake.

And yep, i'm most alert at around this time, but then my sleep is officially screwed - reversed sleep patterns and the like.

It's during daytime my head's in a cloud ..

But yeah i always did my best work when pulling all-nighters, didnt enjoy it so much come the dawn chorus, but yeah, it worked

Intentionally? Just out of interest did you drink copious amounts of coffee to do this?

I stand corrected. Oh how I love this time of the morning.

Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Sometimes I went racing people down an up escalator in Liverpool.

Yeah, it happens from time to time that when I go without sleep I feel incredibly energetic. For example, sometimes if I don't sleep all night then by mid-morning the next day I find myself thinking really lucidly and wanting to go and play sport or whatever. But it's definitely "borrowed" time; the next time I start to feel tired I really crash out. This isn't something frequent though btw, I've only stayed up all night half a dozen times. It's kind of like running; you run, get tired but then if you keep going it becomes a lot easier.

I'm not so sure about he actually BEING insanely tired, but i love the feeling of getting into bed when i am that tired...
im like a few of you guys though; i can go for maybe a day on pretty much no sleep (discovered after various sleepless events:P) but boy do i die the day after....
On the whole i prefer to have the sleep....

I HATE that feeling you get when you havent slept at all the night before! I feel so so tired and my eyes so heavy that it's an effort to keep them open! I often feel quite short tempered as well, I much prefer it when I'VE SLEPT WELL! but sometimes i find that when ive had a lot of sleep, i feel tired too!
