What time do you sleep?

[Himura_san]

I have been sleeping late for quite some time and I know I'm not the only one here. On average I go to bed by 2;00, I'm going to have to stop this habit cause school is coming up.
So how late are you up?

[Uchiha Barles]

Heh, I'm an idiot so I stay up till whatever time I feel like, unless I have school work of some kind or another to do, in which case I usually go to bed when I'm done. Like now, studying for finals tomorrow. I'll be in bed at around three. When I don't have anything to do, I'll sleep between 12 am and 7 am depending on what I'm doing (chilling, playing online games, moping, etc.)

[oceen246]

no matter what I have to do, my dumb self always goes to sleep around 4am-5am, and then I be tired as shit the next day

[Mut]

during school days, i go to sleep whenever i want. sometimes at 11, sometimes at 2. if it's not a school day, then latest i usually stay up is probably is like 5.

[r3n]

well seeing as ive jst finished school, i go to bed about 2 or 3 most days. when i was still at school i would go to bed about 1ish.

[Rek]

wow... I am the only sane one here?... being as I am completely inable to wake up at 5:30 I hafta go to sleep earlish... which is usually 9... but now I can say fuck that shit, because this is my last day of school, and no more trying everything known to man to get to sleep at 9:00


Hooray
(now, my usual is 3 oclock)

Almost exactly what you said applies to me...I'm studying for a Uni exam for Monday and in all my exams so far I've been getting to sleep at like 3am-5am (then getting up at 7am) - though to be fair half the time that is at least partly due to a huge revision session beginning the night before i/expressions/rolleye.gif. Generally though since its the holidays I go to bed when I feel ready to, last night was 3:30am, the night before I think was around 7-8am...generally though its between 1am-8am.

Quite good to see there are more people with weird sleeping times i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif, I've got a mate who is even worse, his bedtimes can vary at any point during a 24 hour day depending on whether he has work/uni or anything else planned for a day...

[SK]

im allowed to go to sleep whenever i want on school nights, as long as im in my room and im not late all the time. now that schools over its basically the same thing i stay up till whenever. lastest i stayed up on a school night was till 4:30 am because i had to right a paper i waited till that night to do lol. then had to wake up at 6:00

[Uchiha Barles]

HAHAHA! Good to see that I'm not the only procrastinator around.

[Knives122]

once school out ill be staying up all night playing video games

[Stoopider]

4am. I stay up so late so that I can debate with you guys on the forums. i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

Nolah, I stay up so late because I sleep in the afternoons when it's most hot. If I do get to sleep in the afternoon. Then at night after 12, it's time to do homework!

[JusDaMan]

On week days i stay in bed at 11:00 and watch tv until 2:00am then i sleep and wake up at around 9-10:00am (its around 3-4th period rite now) i usually get to school around 5th period. yea i kno i screwing up my life in the long run =P

on weekends i usually do all weekend... No sleep for 2 days unless im dam tired.... then i sleep at 2:00am

[Xollence]

I sit in front of my computer til like 3-4 AM even though I'm tired. I don't know why, maybe it's because of anime. i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

at my school you would have been put on pro and locked up for truency.

[NM]

On school days, I go to bed by 10:00. On weekends, it depends. If i'm just around the house, I go to bed at 10 or 11. If me and my friends are playing poker, we play till 1. Or if we go to the movies, by 11.

[Terracosmo]

At weekends, usually 7-8 AM.

[Gods_Son]

I don't have a bedtime, I sleep whenever I want to. Usually it's around 1 or 2.

v I'm 18, you can PM me next time v

[gokudagreat]

I go to school whenever, sometimes 1 oclock sometimes just dont sleep, no bed time

if i may ask, how old are you konohamarucorps, im 15 btw

[-ANBU-Sasuke-]

I dunno what he means by pro but truancy is basically playing truant/wagging/skiving). Not turning up to school lessons without a good reason.

[JusDaMan]

^ so ur saying like cutting?

[Swallow Your Soul]

Yeah

[Stoopider]

Wow. That is really really tough. Must be from some religious catholic school. Or probably in a boarding school..

Hmm. My school, If I were caught playing truant. I'll be given the cane. and tomorrow I'll be leaping over the gates into the dreamy arms of the cybercafe's. That was 3 years ago.

[SK]

nah man it wasnt no catholic school lol. if you skipped a lot theyd bring you to court and if you kept skipping then they would put you on probation or lock you up. but if you were 16 or over then they would just drop you. im assuming your in hs btw...

[gokudagreat]

No thats not how it works, personally i quit 10th grade this year for just this year and had to deal with truancy, the thing is you can take a leave of absence and stuff like that, but even if you did it illegally your parents are held responsible not you, and yea if your over 16 and have passed 10th grade then they just drop you

[JusDaMan]

Wow u people got mad strict rules...

If we cut then we cut lol.. the teachers dont give a dam. the security guard dont give a dam. during the middle of the period I just give the guards a pound and be like peace. then they like aite. and i leave... lol

[SK]

well my old school wasnt strict they just didnt give a shit, theyd rather have you locked up then taking up space in school, or theyd send you to an alternative school.

[Gods_Son]

Never heard of such strict enforcement of jailtime for children not attending school. There must not be much crime or anything to arrest for, because that just seems retarded to me.

[Assertn]

my friend skipped 48 days of his senior year in HS.....and was tardy to one of the classes like more than half of the days that he went to school, and still had no problem graduating with the rest of us i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

haha nah man it wasnt like people actually got arrested or any shit like that, kids only got arrested for drugs etc. like if you kept skipping school with no excuse then it would go
1. court with parent
2. probation
3. juvenile hall
then you couldent go back to that school for the rest of the year, you can go to an alternative school for the rest of the school year, then you can come back.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

whenever i want, but usually around 2 or3 even on school days but the latest i eve stayed up was about id say the whole night and day and after that i was asleep for abut 2 days

[GhostKaGe]

what is this thing called sleep and where can i find some

[Swallow Your Soul]

I have. Over here a woman got convicted and sent to jail because her daughter was almost constantly truant. It happened about a year ago I think, but she got taken to court again recently because the situation hadn't improved and her daughter was still skiving. She was the first parent ever to be convicted of such an offense.

[Assertn]

unless the mom had control over her kid skipping classes, then i'd have to say that is pretty lame to send the parent to jail for that

[Koyuki]

I don't got a bedtime. Usually I'll go to 12/1 am if I'm not watching something. I'll watch tv then I wall a sleep

[Swallow Your Soul]

I think the argument was that a parent should be responsible for a child under 16, and that the mother wasn't doing enough to get the child to go to school. It did cause controversy at the time, as people put the argument forward that it was the child (I think the kid was about 14/15) who was responsible for her cutting school and not her mother, but others said that parents should be responsible for their children until they are at adult age and leave school (over here that is 16).

http://www.kico4u.de/english/topicotw/mumjailed.html (german words appear when you hover the mouse over certain words, but just ignore that)

Seemed as if it worked though...

[Assertn]

interesting.....but to put the parent in jail as a way to scare the children still doesnt seem fair though to the parent

[SK]

its basically like if you cant handle your kid then you need to let the state handle it, and if you dont do anything to stop your kid from skipping then its your fault, thats why parents can get locked up too.

[Assertn]

and if you cant handle your kid then you need to be locked up away from society?
wow it must suck to have rebellious children then

[lionheart1012000]

easiest course of action for parents of rebellious children to take is just to send them to boot camp.

[hiddenpookie]

12:30 .....
yep.....thats when i put the air cold and snuggle in my sheets

[JusDaMan]

I really see no reason for parents being locked up for wat the kid is doing. especially at their age... I started cutting class at around well past 5 months or so (im 16 rite now). I got a choice of wat i wanna do and wat i dont wanna do. screw the government. they wanna arrest the parents? PLEASE go choke on a pretzle bush =)

I am SO LUCKY i aint living in 1 of them really really strict ruled states about cutting class. lol or else i wouldn't have a life

[Assertn]

actually i think that was a UK thing, havent heard of that happenin in the US yet

[SK]

nah cuz i was talkin about the setup in mass. all you see in schools is social workers left and right, if parents cant handle their kids they put them on probation and if they keep skipping they get locked up. the only time parents get locked up is when they dont do nothin about it. its kinda a bad setup though, i swear they like lockin up kids. kids go there and come out more messed up and dont even bother going back to school.

[Swallow Your Soul]

Yeah the situation occured in England.

We don't have boot camp (as far as I know) so I don't think that'd be an option. I don't really know much about what boot camp is, but isn't it basically getting a load of kids together and putting them through military-esque exercises? That'd suck! Though I guess it could sort out troublemakers...whether it'd work I don't really know...

Merely cutting school isn't enough to get parents prosecuted, these girls spent practically no time in school, wasting taxpayers money (which is desperately needed for the NHS, and our 'worst in Europe' public transport systems) while they throw any prospects they may have away just cos they didn't want to learn. There is a difference between "rebellion" or simply cutting class and hardly ever turning up to school...to miss as much school as these girls did is pretty pathetic but what surprised me is that their mother being sent to prison seemed to give them a kick up the arse and they actually started attending...so they must at least have SOME respect for their mother...

I think its important to show kids how important it is to turn up to school, but I'm not convinced that threatening parents with jail is the best way, as many such kids just wouldn't care and would keep reoffending...

Its hard for me to think what should be done, short of escorting them to school and not letting them out of your sight (which is obviously impossible) I have no idea what the solution is, I read today our government spent £800m on trying to tackle truancy last year and it literally did fuck all.

Incidentally, JusDaMan...so you wouldn't be able to have a life AND go to school at the same time? Do you sleep all afternoon and night as well? Or does school in America end at like 10:30 at night? i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif Ah well, your choice i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[Assertn]

maybe JusDaMan is like some people who prolly figure that those extra 5-10 min of classtime that they spend out in the halls gives them a life i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif

what if the girls didnt get along well with thier parents and didnt really care if they were locked away? Then what?

[Swallow Your Soul]

Exactly, thats pretty much what I was trying to say in my last post.

"I think its important to show kids how important it is to turn up to school, but I'm not convinced that threatening parents with jail is the best way, as many such kids just wouldn't care and would keep reoffending..."

[JusDaMan]

wa? lol that post was way too long to read... Hey im just saying that school is pointless to me and mad boring O.o... and i really dont leave the last 5-10 minute of class assertnfailure... either beginning or middle of class. there dont seem to be a point to leaven in last 5-10 minute...

[Assertn]

so uh......what exactly do you do in the halls of your highschool then? couldnt be anything more exciting than just sleeping in class

Don't worry about the length (not really long by my standards i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif, I'm a pretty fast typer), only the last line applied to you (the bit you read).

I'm not slagging you for skiving (there aren't many people who didn't, and I used to do it if I wanted to get out of handing in homework or if I was feeling lazy etc), I just thought what you said sounded slightly strange.

[SK]

at my school when we skip me and my friends go to gym and just play ball. funner than sleeping.

[Assertn]

hmm......am i the only one who took advanced classes that not only required me to show up to get all the notes, but to spend classtime in the easier periods for doing homework?

[JusDaMan]

yep. play ball, go chill outside for a while then come back to school, go to the lunchroom and play some celo or crazy 8s. talk alittle wif the security guards. u'll be surprized on how many things u can do out of class.

[Assertn]

like fail to learn the english language? lol
sorry, i went to two highschools each day, so i didnt have much time to sit around and slack off, so i couldnt really relate.....but ah those were the days

not trying to brag or any bs like that, but i have a genius iq. but i also have adhd, which isnt a good combo. so ive been getting in trouble basically since 2nd grade, it was kinda funny though because i was always getting suspended but they had to keep me in honors classes because my state test scores were high. im taking ap english and history next year, but i still skip sometimes to have fun with my boyz.

[Gods_Son]

Never spent so much time on classwork, even if it was an advanced course.

[EnergyCallingMe]

lol i get off my compa t 200AM then goto sleep around 230 takes me 30 mins to fall asleep then i fade back and out of sleep during my first 2 periods then i take a 10 min nap in my 3rd block course about every day im on the buss think oh god i need to sleep but when i get home i iether watch tv or go on comp

[InnerSakuraChan]

I go to bed between 11 -12, cause I have to be at school at 7:00 am, and I have an extra after school period.

On the subject of skipping class - my school has really strict tardy/truancy policy too. if you have 10 or more excused and unexcused absences, you lose credit in that class, unless you testify in front of the school board. also, if you have more than 5 tardies, you get a detention , and your parents get called. My scholl isn't a private school either - it's just a regular public school. Oh, I'm in Washington (state, not D.C.).

[hiddenpookie]

my teach is nice? not? she let me sleep the entire period and when the bell rang she tapped me in the shoulder and said have a nice day and gave me a detention. lol. in da mornings i play amgic wif dem rockers
