    I think I'm an oddball. I didn't really get a steady session of sleep. I only sleep a few hours at a time and then wake up to do something and then go back to sleep.

    Sleep at 10 or 11pm. Wake up at 3am to play with the cat for 30 minutes and maybe read some manga. Go to sleep. Wake up at 5am to go to the gym. Sleep for 30 minutes. Wake up at 6:15am to get ready for work. lol

    are you sure you're actually getting rest like that though??

    Idk. My body just wakes up ready to go like its fully energized at 3am. But I force myself to go back to sleep. Then I wake up again fully energized at 5am. And the 30 minute nap doesn't really do anything. Just more of a time killer. lol

    Hmmm, I don't know though....I'm going to say that you're probably only staying in stage 2 of your sleep cycle and not even hitting NREM and REM stages

    The body requiring little sleep and waking up fully energized in the wee hours of the morning started ever since I started dieting. Since I cut carbs, I just have so much excess energy it seems. I used to sleep all night and barely wake up in the morning

    I'm up at 4

    that's the middle of the night

    Believe me I know grrr

    Can we change jobs

    sure, lets switch, you have to start going to my calculus 2 class as well though, that's part of it.

    Calculus 2! More power to you. I am math challenged.

    I thought I was too.....then I decided I wanted a mechanical engineering degree (at the age of 26), but I'm picking up on it better now than I did when I was 18-20 years old

    Actually just now applying to go back to school myself

    As we speak

    I work as a designer with my engineering graphics associates...I just don't want to hit a wall in my career because I don't have a 4 year degree.

    I thinks it's always good to have more schooling...it can't hurt anyways

    It's just rough working full time and going to school. I have no social life these days xD

    Pretty much why I'm finishing up my degree and going for Masters. Not because my field requires it, but if I wanted to transfer to federal side so I can apply my military experience to my retirement and get out early, having a higher degree makes it much easier to get my foot in the door.

    I can still make 6 digits without it. Its purely resume fluff

    Funny spicy, I'm kind of the same way. My alarm goes off at 4:30, but most days I'm ready at 4:10, so I just get up!

    It's always nice to have a bunch of letters to put after your name. My husband has several degrees and keeps thinking of doing a masters or PhD. I'm the uneducated one...but my hair is pretty
