Yeah, that’s right…But left-coasters?! I’ve never referred this side of the country as that before.

LOL!
I’m just weird. 
But really, looking at a map, with north pointed up, we are on the left coast… right?

I’ve heard it in a few songs / song titles.
The Starting Line - Left Coast Envy comes to mind…
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.

At least you have a sense of direction…I still get lost in my little suburb. Wow, I’m gonna die in college. And oh yeah…I also have a difficult time telling right from left. My friends had to write it on my hands so I would pass the cards the correct direction in Clue.

I don’t drive yet, so I have no real reason to learn the area very well. I can tell most general areas of San Jose, but if you ask me for directions, you’re going to get lost, I garuntee it…

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.
and it also helped out alot with science olympiads- that stuff is strong enough to wake the dead.
During the summer it’s usually asleep by 2am, awake by Noon.
During school it’s asleep by Midnight, up by 6am
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.
Sometimes I can stay up all night… well 20 hours atleast… thats from 10 am - 7am then i go to sleep and wake up at 10 again and go to sleep at 4am then wake up at 10 am then go to sleep at 10pm… it sorta works like that for three days… kinda complicated…isnt it?
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. 
Longer even then Ken.

Sleep is for teh weak.
Like Bill.my max awake time was around 36 hours straight on my trip to London which i left for the day of the utc scrimmage and so i was up from about 6or7am east coast time to about 4pm east coast time the next day
Summer Hours 12 Noon to 3 am
School Hours
5:30 AM to 10:00 PM
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?).

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
am i the only one that thinks this caffinated soap sounds like a scam
