When they are asleep, why is that some of you can not stay awake, PFs sort of dies just because you lot want to sleep, is it not true that America is 24/7.

Sleep is for the weak
 
Happy, healthy, well-rested weak people; but weak nonetheless.

I wasn't sleeping, I was just resting my eyes.

Personally, I'm a 18/7 American. 6 hrs sleep is good enough for me...I may be meek, and a little bit geek, but I'm not weak.

We get up, get through the day, and go to sleep around the same time you wake up :smile:

What the... you mean you actually have a real, non-virtual life?
Where did you get it? I tried to buy one online, but no luck so far.

Ah well, I can always keep saving for two more months and emigrate to Australia :smile:

Sleep is good. Somehow it just seems more appropriate to do it while it's dark out, and be active when it's light enough outside to see things. It's not my fault you live on the wrong side of the Earth.
