I had to do all nighters in school. Only cause I
procrastinated all semester.

For almost two years I've worked a 3am-7am, 5 day week at a
part time job, so yeah I'm always up overnight.

Yeah. When I work 9 to 5, my hobbies and personal time
suffer ('natch), so I make up for it by sleeping less so I
can take in more. My quality of work drops drastically after
a month or so.

When I was at school, I had no need for all-nighters because
I barely did any work anyway and had enough time to do what
I really wanted to do. I fucked up.

One night sleepless accelerates neuronal death in a 100%
rate...
And you all know it's irreversible damage.

it happens quite a lot..in most cases only because i always
wait until the last possible minute.

Sleep loss catches up with me within a few days, I try to
avoid staying up all night if I can't get some sleep during
the next day because if I can't I won't make it

i work evenings, so the time i get home its like 12/1 and i
need to wind down after that, so i rarely sleep until about
4am which is a bit crappy really.

Ive had about 5 months to myself doing personal training at
home, and because i am able to work anytime i want my
sleeping pattern goes from normal to nocternal back again to
an endless loop.

I am not joking, this is what happens. It's occured atleast
4 times in the past 2 months.

I sleep more than i am awake, which isn't good really for
being productive, oh well.

Oh and also, if it wasn't for the computer, i would stick to
the normal sleeping pattern and be awake during the day,
it's just the monitor and what i am doing really keeps me
focus, i'm sure that isn't good for my brain cells.. Infact,
i know it's not good because i forget really general
things... but i remember what i learn the night before
well.

anyway, when i was at college, there was no way i was
staying up late, the whole of last year was terrible for me,
i got in after leaving college at 5:20pm (from 7:30am) and i
would just pass out... i struggeled to keep deadlines, this
is due to me being lazy somt of the time in class, but i
personally don't see it as a good work enviroment (what with
all the other people there to socially distract you) -- for
me, to work best.. i have to be alone.

"One night sleepless accelerates neuronal death in a 100%

can i request a scientific reference for this claim?

lupus yonderboy
You loose brain cells anyway, but you always generate more
from sleep and so on.. so his claim doesn't seem very
probable.

i don't think the brain has regenerative qualities unlike
say the liver. but you can reform connections, like in
stroke victims learning to reuse limbs. but a 100% increase
in loss can be misleading. if you lose 200 instead of 100 it
might still be an insignificant figuare. i'd be interested
in reading the research and context.

i totally agree. i get so much more things done during
night. like making music and such. and the silence, yes. i
realize more and more how much i dislike big cities. i will
move back to a small place 'out in the country' as soon as
possible.

country as well.

In college I developed a habit of staying up pretty late,
and now I work nights. Puts a real damper on one's social
life.
