During spring break I changed my sleep schedule to see what would happen. At school I usually go to bed around 11 p.m. or 12 a.m. because of early classes. While I’m at school I usually take a nap every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If I don’t get a nap on those days I tend to go to bed earlier. When I was home for break I stayed up an hour or more later each night. Starting with Friday I went to bed at 12 a.m. and woke up at 11 a.m. the next day. I had a good amount of sleep that night. Saturday night I went to bed around 3 a.m. and didn’t wake up till 1 p.m. the next day. As the week went on I had a higher tolerance of staying awake later. For example, if I went to bed at 2 a.m. one night, the next night I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep till 2 a.m. or later. I was so used to staying up late. Each night would get worse and worse, I literally couldn’t fall asleep until it was about the time I fell asleep the night before. I wasn’t tired at all, but once it was later then the night before that’s when I started to get tired.
Friday the 11th I decided to test my limits to the max with a couple friends. We didn’t go to sleep till about 6:30 a.m. in the morning. It was really hard to keep my eyes open by 5 a.m. I really don’t know how we were able to stay up that long. We almost watched a whole series of the show Real World on On Demand. By the 21st episode I couldn’t take anymore and finally had to go to bed. Of course the last episode would have another part to it, but I really couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore.
As a result I managed to pull an all nighter. The next night I wasn’t able to fall asleep till 5 a.m. I probably won’t try this sleep schedule again because I’m not tired when I should be going to sleep. It completely messed up my sleep schedule for school, which is why I’m up right now writing this…
