How much sleep are you going to get???

[GoDaisy341]

Ha, sleep, the night before kick off? I have my (vernn, PS, I know I am soooo white LOL) from the team over and a whole bunch of tapes we took from last years season. Yeah, tonight it is a marathon of FIRSt 2003! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that sounds like how to do it. But I might manage a couple of hours tonight. Im pretty sure I average around 4-5 hours of sleep per night during building.

[JAH]

I'll get 5-6 hours...hopefully. I seem to be dead tired all the time because of school, not only during build or not only because I'm excited build is going to be starting. It is 12 hours and 14 minutes till the kickoff starts now!! Or so my clock says...

I must agree to some post that had the search for sleep in linux and the puzzling question what is this sleep????

between all the OT i have been doing these last 5 weeks i have been able to pick up an excess of 3 hours a day. and now that kickoff and 6 weeks is about to start i'm pretty sure ill be up for these first couple of days trying to look for all the hair i pulled out from saturday. hrmm which reminds me maybe i should call in for sunday to also be a day off for me as well j/k

I don't need any sleep, I'll just hold a spoon and when I fall asleep I'll drop it and wake myself up, fully rested for the next two hours.

well judging from the fact i don't manage to get 8 hours of sleep without robotics i'm not quite sure how few i'll get with robotics. It just eats my life up, chews it up, spits it on the ground, steps on it a few times then crushes it with a couple of hundred thirty pound robots. BUT ITS SO MUCH FUN so i don't care how much sleep i lose!

i need some c programing pointers

jedilearner, I'd be glad to help you out with programming, I have been using C for several years now, and feel pretty comfortable with it. Send me an email, pm, IM, etc and let me know how I can help

as for sleep, as I said earlier, "where can I download that again?" lol
I dont anticipate all that much sleep, although I suppose I'll pass out unconsious eventually, at some point before that alarm clock goes off in 6 hours
So, probably 2-3, 4 if I'm lucky.

well, it´s 3am here in Brazil and I´m still working in some stuff to present in a workshop that is going to happen in our "local kick-off".

[shyra1353]

well .. i dont sleep much on normal days ( anything over 5 hours is a luxury ) ... and its almost 1 am for me now .. and i have to be at school tomorrow for 7 so we can all attend the kickoff together , so if i go to sleep now, i can get almost 6 hours of sleep. but, of course i wont, i have to go clean the basement so after kickoff we can do inventory !!! and then i will be too excited to sleep so i will get out some homework that i know i wont be doing later on this weekend, so basically i will get about an hour of sleep at most ...

( a member on my team has threatened to put sleeping pills in my drinks to make me sleep during build season .. friends agree with me on this one : it wont work !! )

[Joe Beynon]

well as of now i just finished sleeping, 5 and a half hours. unfortunately only about half of what i normally get.

As of right now, it is 3:51am west coast time, and I am still up with the rest of FIRST-a-holics (Bill Gold and Mark Whitehouse) waiting for the time to "wake up".

Almost there :-D

Well... I slept for about an hour and a half, but then I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. But yeah, Ken and Mark have been up all night.

De Anza and Middle College went Ice Skating together last night, so for these teams:

Smax = 4.5 hours

The nice thing about good, hard ice skating is it is often followed by good, hard sleep.
