Hah soo. Im wondering if this is healthy?


Question:
Alrighty. Well. My sleeping habits are wayy messed up. I know it doesnt really matter if you stay up late a few nights or something like it, but what ive been doing is a little different. I'll stay up and entire day and an entire night, and then sleep the next entire day. Then, I'll stay up that entire night and the next entire day- and sleep that night. Get what I mean? I stay awake about 24 hours, and then sleep about 12. I've been doing this for about two months.. Healthy or no? Orr does it not even matter?

Answers:
I'm amazed you can actually keep that going. I hope you're not taking an excess of caffeine or other drugs to do that. I want to say that it's unhealthy... I can imagine it's not the best sleeping pattern for someone who wants to have an active lifestyle with work or school though.

I'd have to suggest trying to get a regular amount of sleep. Studies have shown that sleep is used so that your brain can reform neural connections that are damaged during daily activity. Staying up for long periods of time depletes your brain's capacity to function. In fact, after a while, a human being who hasn't slept at all is declared clinically insane, you'll literally hallucinate, very bad for you.

Also, oversleeping can leave you feeling groggy and sluggish, and is also not good for you. Try to get back to a pattern of 6-8 hours sleep a night. Or at least try to take some naps here and there. Take care of yourself.

I'm afraid it's quite serious; what you have is known as 'chronic awesomeness'. It is difficult to treat. Resign yourself to a life of bitter coolness.
Welcome to the parents with newborns club! lol, Im on the same sleep schedule as you I think! No, its not healthy for you and you should really try and get on a decent schedule
Everybody's body rhythm is different. I'm on a crazy sleep cycle, myself. As far as whether it's healthy, only you can say...do you FEEL healthy? If your waking hours are productive, energetic, mentally stable, then...you're probably fine. The pendulum will swing.
it doesn't matter, live up your good years then you die. if it works for you, do it. i wish i could
