Anyone else tend to leave any kind of school work to the last night >.< 3:16 am and still doing it :P
haha soo ye i tend to do it quite a bit atm i got 2 uni assignments one due today at 5pm, and another friday 3pm :S
haha its not like i do bad anyway.
I once left an entire 15 page essay till the last night before even starting my research :D. Now THAT is procrastination! Luckily it was only GCSE, so I didn't fail by handing it in a week later :P.
Scientists have no idea why we need sleep, what it does to us, or even how it works. Plus there are drugs that have the same effect on us as sleep that we can take. So I disagree :P.
I go to sleep at regular times, make my assignment when I wake up and still get away with it the same day... though sometimes the teacher will tell me to adjust some things. Fair enough for me, the only stuff I really start on early are projects such as Flash, java.. C programming and stuff.

@Reaper872 You mean...when I sleep...It's almost like the Starcraft 2 servers go down? Except its my brain? :O
That's what I heard basically. Your head doesn't shut off but since you aren't moving around your head is a calm as it can be. That's a good time to maintain cells and things I guess. A brain is faster than any super computer, so it needs down time like systems or it wears out, lol.

there is no down time... just the other real YOU that takes over... we foolishly/comfortably call it dreaming...
That is a fascinating discussion/pet peeve to invest time on... i looked into it (when i had time for "pastimes") and it's hilarious how we (specialists) don't know or at least don't all agree (disagree to a T more like)...
It's a separate circuitry that takes over on the main machine, calling it maintenance is perfectly precisely exact.
It's like the "refresh experience" that your computer screen does for displaying on every second (actually every...) ...
YES your brain does it as quick as that (if not quicker) and for hours on (3 max usually of deep/meaningful "sleep").. while your body remains "more or less" inert (see sleepwalking or catalepsy for the knots to be untied)... F...I.GFascinating
I remember the days when I used to do assignments the night before. Nowadays I do assignments about 3 hours before they are due. :(
As to the sleep discussion, it's quite interesting that we don't understand why it's needed. You die if deprived of Non-REM stage 4 sleep for a significant period of time, while babies spend vastly more time in REM sleep than the average adult. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!?

Fucking fascinating! Did you know that or did you just look it up? Cause i heard the whole night and day cycles enter into it too :)
Some "scientist/amateur" woman got into a "cave environment" (no watch/clock/light to indicate time) for i don't remember how long.. and she lost the mechanic to sleep = danger = she HAD to get out...
My brother was in an induced coma (to allow him to repair/recover) and he seemed so "different/calmer" after two weeks of this "heeeeeavy sleep/drug induced" treatment.. i'd go so far as to say he was changed from the experience...
"A dream is not a dream that cannot die" or something...
First of all, when you discuss human potential, you must define your terms, then, you must be smart enough to realize that whatever sleep is, is your perception of it.
If I we're to make a random claim as you all have been regarding sleep, it would be as such:
The shut off or near-shut off of every external sensory stimuli to such an extent that the entire human condition no longer has to deal in whole or nearly in whole with the external so it can recover from all the bullshit you put it through the entire day, like abusing your own brain by being a foolish procrastinator and stressing out physically because of it. When the mind and body no longer requires to interact with the external like when it does when wide-awake, what else does it do than repair or recover from day-to-day bullshit? Dreaming is the same. When there is no more input from the external entering it, it interprets itself - thus, it's magnitude of stored memories magnified and distorted by all the stress and bullshit you put in it said day coupled with a need to relax thus causing it to produces seemingly senseless series of pictures you interpret as though it was a independent film gone wrong in your favor which you may or may not find pleasing. Then you wake up, and you start infusing your brain with more bullshit and within a few seconds you barely know what the fuck it is you we're dreaming about, then theres the wet spot in your poka-dot shorts.
A dream is an interpretation of the mind by the mind.
I facepalm myself, I'd a thought a programming based forum would have more intelligent people.
Then maybe again, pinch yourself maybe you're just dreaming.

Yeah for me my own projects have always taken 99% precedence over school work.
Sleep is valuable, start your assignments when you get them.

I heard that while you sleep, your body's cells are repaired and your brain fixes you up. I guess it's maintenance.

1:30 am and I have a MIDTERM ON THE MORNING.
I'll start studying after I finish this Starcraft Debates match.
