Sleep

I have decided that sleep is a necessary element in my life. Going without it for too long, and continuing normal activities is a VERY BAD THING.
The last three days have been a kind of experiment of sorts...one that was not exactly intentional On Monday, I stayed up way too late trying to finish some homework I thought was due the next day. I finished the homework but didn't get much sleep...maybe two hours...which according to my coworker of last semester, doesn't count.  So I made it through my day and thought little of it. I was planning on going to bed pretty early, and then my friend texted me and asked if I wanted to play pool basket ball. So of course, I went. They weren't going to start until like 9 so I had time to work on some homework.
Well I dominated in pool basket ball, even playing with the boys :) but I was super hungry. Well of course the guys were too, so we went to find something to eat. We ended up going to I-hop...well it was about 11:30 at this point but i figured we could eat head back and I would still get some decent sleep in..ha.
We sat there waiting for almost an hour, and then even when we finally got our food, we sat there eating it and talking. heck, we are a social bunch okay?!
So we headed back to the apartment complex but didn't get back until about 1 am. So i sat there and argued with myself...it wasn't too much of one though because I realized that going to bed then would almost guarantee that I would miss work. So, I decided that I would just stay up. so i did. a second allnighter...I must be a college student.
So work was fine and then I began my day. I made it through exactly none of my classes without falling asleep...but I went to every single one. even weight training...where I thought I was going to die. BUT I did it. I also made it home and to my floor...didn't quite make it to the bed before crashing. I fell asleep and slept and slept and slept. I didn't wake up until about 10. Then I went to the bathroom, ate a bowl of cereal, texted some people back, attempted to do some homework and was back in bed before 11. Then, I slept through all of my alarms and missed work. I didn't end up getting up until 8 am this morning.
So that was my experiment:
question- can I successfully stay up for 48 consecutive hours
hypothesis- maybe, I bet if I push myself I could do it
experiment- do it
conclusion: NO. I successfully stayed awake but I was not productive, I didn't get anything accomplished, and I was miserable. Except for the part with my friends. I have decided that an all nighter occasionally is not a bad thing, but two in a row is unacceptable.
(every good experiment leads to new questions right?)
question: did I learn my lesson
hypothesis: probably not
experiment: {check back for results}
