I JUST PULLED AN ALL NIGHTER

[YPrrrr]

why would I sleep if I'm not tired?

You are, you're just delusional from lack of sleep

[Chōshū]

I have a huge amount of trouble sleeping.

My mom on the other  hand, can somehow sleep for about 4 hours and she'll be up and ready to go for the next day.  All she needs is a cup of coffee and she'll be plenty energetic.  Last night she went to sleep at 11PM and woke up around 3:45AM.  It's nuts, I don't know how she does it.  My theory is that due to long patterns of the same behavior, her brain subconsciously wakes itself up once she passes her second REM cycle during the night.  But still, after a long period of time that should have some pretty bad physical side-effects on you, but my mom is one of the healthiest people I know.  She's 52 and looks like she's 35.

Sleep is odd.  If I remember correctly, Leonardo Da Vinci took 15 minute naps every several hours and didn't sleep during the nights.

I don't know how some people do it  .  I however, have very chronic insomnia which has had horrible side-effects on my health.
