I have before so it's really not a big deal.

I mainly get about 3-5 hours of sleep a night anyway.

Generally I get about 5 hours. Sometimes 3 and I can still function fine.

Hell, I got 3 hours of sleep before my exams and I still 80%+ on all of them.

Now a days I function on eight hours, but that's after staying up to watch Conan and waking up at 10. I'm unemployed. Which reminds me, I have to write up a job application.

Once I tried operating on a few hours but the second morning I woke up at 11 o'clock and my boss fired my ass. For the record, I was staying up late working on stories.

I can, I do, and I will some more...have nights of low sleep, by choice. I can't say how much or whatnot though. Not actually sure.

I've always been able to function with a few hours. Normally four or five is enough for me.

In fact, I get really tired and disoriented if I get any more than six hours.

I tend to get around 4 hours on a week day and around 6 at the weekend.

I get on fine, but once a month I just crash and get about 18 hours or so in a single stint.

I'm a sound engineer so my work times are pretty much like, 3 times a week like getting to work and build/rig the place up from 3PM to 9PM and then the concert/performance etc to about 1AM and then packing everything up and rolling cables and stuff till 3-4PM and then I get home again. But I for the rest of the week I got nothing so that's always nice. To answer your question, yes if I get enough sleep before it I can do a decent time before I can't 'function' anymore. Last time that happened was at a weekend long festival and I couldn't get a moment of peace through the whole damn thing. (thursday till monday) I slept 2 days in a row after that. So... Yeah I manage.

Game character response: Salarians only need 1 hour of sleep. Fast metabolism, and short life span.
My response: Can't function well w/out like 9 hours of sleep.

speeed is my thing so i dont get much sleep at all im up for a max of 3 days stright.
when i dont sleep for about 48 hours i start to see faces pop out of nowhere,my vision is blury,i twitch, my speach goes down the drain(i start to whisper),my mouth is always dry, if i close my eyes i still se everything around me,and when i want to go to bed i cant because my eyes wont stay closed and i cry like a baby.

wheni finally do get to sleep i have crazy dreams sometimes scary and most of the time in my dreams i see what i was seeing when i was still awake.

i think depriving your self of sleep is not a good thing at all. people should atleast try to get about 6-8 hours of sleep a night.
