But I bet your mom hasn't started 1000 threads on GC.

Okay, that's 2 for your mom and 0 for...

i have like 4000000 posts on greekchat, and I've started something like 9 threads total . . . and 7 of those were making fun of goofy ass people who start too many threads.

maybe i'll get drunk enough tonight to do it again . . . or is 23 too old to party? oh god!

You're only cool if you start a million threads. I'm not cool, and I feel really bad about it. Maybe I'll start more threads -- but I'm definitely much too old for this!

If you sleep for more than four-five hours at a time, you run the risk of developing cancer.

Right now, I am getting an average of 3-4 hours of sleep per night. This is total -- not straight sleeping time. He wakes up about every other hour or so. Factor in diaper changes and feedings, and there isn't much time left for sleeping. My mother-in-law usually takes him for a couple of hours during the day so that I can get a short nap in. I miss sleep...

Here's the advice from the two time mom. You must sleep every time the baby sleeps. Even if you don't actually fall asleep, you have to lay down and rest, meditate, whatever. Let your mother-in-law worry about dinner, laundry, the house, etc. He will be sleeping through the night in around two months, but it seems like the 3 week mark is the hardest, because you are so exhausted that you don't know if you're going to make it. It's easier with the second child, because you know it ends fairly quickly. With the first one, it seems like it will be forever.

As for the original question, I go to bed around 11 pm and wake up at either 5:30 or 6:30, depending on whether my kids are with me or their dad. I am 39, a LAN Systems Analyst. I'm long past my partying days so I don't have a problem on weekends (although I often feed the dog when she wakes me up between 5:30 and 6:30 and then go back to sleep on weekends, until the kids wake me up around 8 or 9).

Depends on the night...most times I have to be to work around 7, so I try to get to bed at a decent hour...doesn't always happen though.

I'm 23 and I average about 6 1/2 hours of sleep per night. But I need to get to bed earlier.

I used to sleep only 3-4 hrsfor the past 3 years while in grad school. I now get 7-8 but it is interrupted sleep when my puppy needs to go out.

about six hours a night when all is well. occasionally, it's interrupted.

What is this "sleep" you speak of?
