 We are customers to FIRST. In that comes expectations. I don't want to hear another, "You should be grateful for everything FIRST does" nonsense when FIRST royally screws up. - MikeDubreuil [more] |

During the normal school year (non-build time), I go to bed around 3am and wake up around 6:30. On the weekends, it's more like 4am to noon. During the end of the build session, there were times when I just didn't sleep (power tools are fun after being awake for 42 hours!). One of our build sessions lasted 36 hours, but only three of us (two students, including me, and an engineer) made it for the entire time.
Anyway, during the summer, I've been going to bed around 4 and waking up at 10-11. As many have heard me say, "sleep is for the weak." It just cuts down on programming time.

eh, i'm rather unpredictable. during the school year, it's not unusual for me to go to bed around 1 or 2 am, and wake up at 6:30 am. on weekends, i've been up as uhm...early...as 5 am (and had to wake up at 7, on mother's day!). during summer, i go to bed anytime between 11 and 3, and wake up anywhere between 6:30 and noon.

hmm, this is most odd. i went to bed close to 2 last night (or was it this morning?) only to wake up to my radio (who's lifespan is ever shrinking) at 7 am, cause i'm going to the beach today. the strangest part is, i feel like i got 8 or 9 hours of sleep, and i think i slept like a rock.
hmm, think it's possible to sell sleep in pill form? not sleeping pills, or caffine pills, but something that would like, send chemicals through your body saying that you were all refreshed? how great would that be during the build season? "we're so screwed, only 4 days left till shipping, and the whole robot needs to be completely rebuilt!" "have no fear! just take one of these pills every 8 hours, and you'll feel as refreshed as after a 8 hour snooze!" yep, i'm going insane again, and it's only 8 in the morning...

I try to go to bed between 10 and midnight on weekdays since I wake up at 6 in the morning...
On the weekends I don't really have a set pattern...I go to bed when I feel like it wake up before noon... Ian: are you sure you got enough sleep....your ideas are crazy...

Yeah, during the season, before cram time I usually sleep from 11 pm - 6 am. During the cram time, I usually build till 11 pm, then go to school at 8 am, and try to sleep at least 2 hours sometime in there. The big cram weekend our team has (Thur. - Tue.) Thursday till Saturday, we went to bed 3-4 am and got up around 8 am. The last three nights, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, we slept from about 6:30 am- 8am.
During school for years, I usually go to bed around 10 ish and watch TV for awhile until I fall asleep. I usually get up around 7:15 am. However, this year I may be going to a different school, and may have to leave around 7:30 to drive to school. During the summer, if I don't have to work, I get up at 8 am. If I have to work, sometimes I have to go in around 5 am to start breakfast.

Hey ian, while no one has invented artificial sleep yet, ive been experimenting with a remedy of mine to help out with those all nighters in the middle of the school year. i call it liquid fire. basically, i take three cups worth of freeze dried coffee and mix it with half a cup of water. then i gulp it down like a shot of gin. it usually kicks in in about five minutes and lasts for hours. it's a great help if its two o'clock in the morning and i'm ony half done with my science project.
