I can function with 3 hours of sleep anything less and I’m liable to fall asleep standing up.
by Drastic on March 27th, 2008
I can never function regardless. I could sleep forever.
by GreenFreak on March 27th, 2008
I've only had about 5½ hours sleep the past two nights, and I'm probably going to get even less this night.. I'm a bit less focused, and probably more brooding, but otherwise I survive.. it isn't pleasant, though, even though 5hours is still a lot
by Kal-El on March 27th, 2008
I'm usually ok as long as I get about 3 or 4 hours sleep. But I wouldn't want to have to do to much mind work. lol
by BrokeDog on March 27th, 2008
I have to function well, because I haven't slept 4 hours a night in years. Chronic insomnia ... yuck!
by Symbeline on March 27th, 2008
Oh Christ no. Nothing works for me when I miss a night of sleep. I get SO cranky, NOTHING seems worth anything, I can't eat or drink, not even a shower feels good, and say a whole night I didn't manage to sleep? I actually lose my balance while walking, and it's not fun at all, people think I'm on drugs. My eyes hurt like hell, usually it's accompanied by this killer headache and I can't concentrate on nothing. But this is pass the ''I'm so tired everything is funny stage'' which I can more or less function on, but I mentioned the white nights I get and how I'm so zombie-ish because they happen often enough. I also get all sweaty yet I freeze to death, I completely hate it.
by Greekgod on March 27th, 2008
Function very well on at least 5 hours sleep. New avatar, nice horse. Cyndi
by sm00z on March 27th, 2008
I guess I don't do too well on too little sleep.
My computer screen starts to get blurry and I do strange things like double answering questions.
by Anonomous on March 27th, 2008
Yeah I'm getting pretty good at it.
by Mr. Meaulnes on March 26th, 2008
I function very well at the time when I'd otherwise be sleeping, but I can only keep it up for twelve hours or so (without caffien) before I start crashing into things.
by YugiohGX911 on September 26th, 2009
I have had only 2-3 hours of sleep on school nights for the last year. As for me, I function perfectly. I don't get mood swings, my marks are still the same, and I don't need energy drinks to keep me awake. :) In fact I feel like a zombie if I get MORE than 5 hours of sleep a night.
by sarahsue on March 26th, 2008
yeah i function pretty well ... i have insomnia. an i work nights. its kinda rough but i do well
by Diana on January 20th, 2009
Walking zombie with an attitude lol U dont want to be around me when I dont get a full nights rest lol I tend to be a bit of a beyotch:)
by Anonymous on January 20th, 2009

by SeaLady on August 31st, 2008
I function on very little sleep, have never slept more then 3 - 4 hours a night and many nights I go with almost NO sleep.
I wish I could just get a 6 hr sleep without using a sleeping pill!!
by Yeahwell... on August 15th, 2008
I used to, but not in the past few years. When I get tired I can barely carry on a conversation.
by 19kid was born in89 on August 13th, 2008
I've had to do it so many times, i have become a pro. In the morning I am a little irritable but after i have been awake for awhile i will be good to go.
by holeinthewoods on June 10th, 2008
I function well on very little sleep. Especially if something important is required of me.
by a 10sEn is the AB Ninja Lounge bartender on June 10th, 2008
When I get very little sleep, I feel like I belong somewhere out in the Midwest by a lake. :)
by Mendtos on June 10th, 2008
If its a once in a while thing, I'm perfectly fine and its a normal day. If it gets to be like last semester where I'm running on 5 or 6 hours a night, I take naps every chance I get and zonk out during p-chem lectures.
by Tempter on March 28th, 2008
I'm better on no sleep than with very little sleep.
by BeatBoxingBabette on March 28th, 2008
I funtion surprisingly well, maybe even better (since I probably woke up naturally and not in the middle of deep sleep.) I once had a full day of school and a track meet on less than 5 hours, and it was okay, but I think that's the worst I've had.
by CarcinomaAngel on March 27th, 2008
I get grumpy.

Once I'm up. I'm up.
by Theby on March 27th, 2008
I don't function at all. I am virtually unable to work,
by scubaduba on March 27th, 2008
No, I do not function well, I'm not a walking zombie, I'm cranky, irritable and whiney.
by Zack on March 27th, 2008
No sleep and keeping busy and I'm a functioning zombie.
by ceirwen on March 27th, 2008
I cannot function when I had very little sleep. As you said I'm like a walking zombie. I function better if I've had no sleep at all because when I've had little sleep it's like my body is yearning from that rest that i need which I had a little taste of... It's like you got a bon bon from a chocolate box and you'd want to finish the whole box and if you're not able to it's like you get all cranky and all....
With no sleep the body doesn't seem to know what it's missing and you can function on pure adrenalin and all until that's all spent and you just drop.
The best of course is to get a full night's rest. Mind and body that are fully rested can function at its maximum potential.
by Anonymninja on March 27th, 2008
I usually only get around 6 hours of sleep a night, and although I feel tired a lot of the time, I still function perfectly well (and my cognitive capabilities are fine as well :P).
by ChandaDiane - est. 1975 on March 27th, 2008
I do well for the first few days, but much more than that and I start acting weird and not making alot of sense.
by Tom 47 is back in his bear COAT on March 27th, 2008
I can go with little sleep for a while, but it eventually catches me up and I will have to crash on my feet if not a bed. My normal sleep cylcle is six hours, unless it has been an especially gruelling day.
by Kevisaurus is a Carnotaurus today on March 27th, 2008
If I don't get 6 1/2 I'm crap the next day so sleep is crucial when I am on a regiment that demands a regular waking for monetary procurement activities. I've called sick a few times when I know I'm useless.
Hey, sometimes we just can't sleep.
by Squirrel Face on June 10th, 2008
I function pretty good, as soon as I step out of bed, I'm awake. It's really weird.
by waterpenguin on June 10th, 2008
I had jet lag last year and my eyes would just close for a few seconds during the day. It's like I was daydreaming but I don't remember having closed my eyes.
by meowry on June 10th, 2008
Let me tell you what bad sleep does to me. It makes me fat. It makes me tired and hyper at the same time. It also makes me confused. So I'd have to say no to both. I do not function properly, but I wouldn't call myself a zombie. I have energy...just the negative kind.
by technios on June 10th, 2008
i used to function well on about 11 hours a day... now i function, well, on about 0-9 answerbag makes me get a little less!
by justme32 loves the weekends on June 10th, 2008
I function well on about 3 hours per day.
by m4dm4nsgirl on March 28th, 2008
Usually I can function pretty well, until it all builds up with days and days of poor sleep.
by TRK360 on March 28th, 2008
I'm an architecture major, I don't sleep much at all, and usually it's from naps of no more than two hours because I do plenty of all nighters. But the funside about that is that I get to see alot of ice sunrises.
by Tacet on August 15th, 2008
I can function well, I just yawn a lot.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on June 10th, 2008
I need at least 5 i get really grumpy and hungry when i'm tired.
by Good to be me on June 10th, 2008
I funtion pretty good with little or no sleep. Its actually the opposite. More sleep and I'm like a zombie. It's wierd!!!
by ThisUsernameIsTaken on January 22nd, 2009
I act very stupid when I'm tired. I sound drunk and I'm cranky. Not a good combination. Not to mention I run into things...
by Google a Foo Fighting COAT on January 25th, 2009
Well yesterday I only slept for 6 hours, and was pretty active, so I belive I can function properly.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on January 25th, 2009
I'm a grumpy zombie when I have had very little sleep.
by caseyg on July 30th, 2009
Eh, fairly well - I'm more prone to dozing off and can be cranky if it's because I woke up too early, but not bad. If possible I do what needs to be done then take a nap asap.
by Orchi Dolittle on January 25th, 2009
I funcition well with no sleep. I probably go on around 3 hours of sleep evryday.
by Rock the dance floor on January 22nd, 2009
I function well, but towards the end of the day I will start feeling like I am out of it. I usually have to get a lot of sleep if I am going to be very busy the next day.
by neorage on January 20th, 2009
In my last job I only got between 3 and 4 hours sleep and I done very well on that.Now I get at least 7 hours and feel tired during the day.
