I usually sleep somwhere between 12am and 4am and get up somwhere around noon during the summer. During the school year, I usually sleep between 12am and 2am and get up at about 8:30am.

I'm almost always tired... I think I have various problems that contribute to that besides my odd (or not so odd) sleeping habits.

I just skip a sleep period when I have to be up before 7am.
That only happens a few times a month.
Yay for 47 hours awake straight around prom.

Wow, what a lot of sleep-depraved, er... deprived people there are out there. My longest awake time was in high school and it was for 56 hours and they had to give me sleeping pills (blah, I hate pills!). In equal extreme, I slept for almost 30 hours once in high school before they realized I am allergic to coedine (pills, again blah!) I did 27 hours not too long ago, without caffeine (caffeine? what's caffeine?).

I blame all my Paintshop pro photos on sleep depravation.

That sounds painfull/disgusting/bad for you stomach/like a heck of a lot of cafeene. Just drink 20 liters of Mountain Dew/jolt/Everything else which has massive caffine.

For all of you who do not like drinking/eating caffeine I have the perfect way for you to stay awake. Just take a nice hot shower with Caffeinated Soap. The caffeine is absored right through your skin. Robotics people could use it while working on the robot if they don't have time to sleep, but only time to shower...
I somehow think that this will strat something strange in the FIRST Robotics world

Silly Ian, you stay up for more than 2 days by not sleeping.
The way to do it is continue talking to people online or interacting with them in person. There are also sevral times where you will get really tired, and want to sleep, but if you fight that off, you will be good to go for another long while.
