I do that almost every night. It's such a bad habit!!

I force myself not to.
Everything below 6 hours is really bad by the way :D
(for me, at least)

It's bad for everyone - 6+ hours is the amount of sleep people need to be getting. Doesn't always happen though, obviously!

I actually read a huge study that was done (1,000,000 people), which ended up with the results saying that the optimal amount is between 6 and 7 hours. The people who slept more than 8 hours, or less than 4, had the highest mortality rate.

That's interesting. I should really try and regulate my sleep schedule

I know I need to :( "Oh tonight I'll get to sleep by 11:30." Never happens.

From my understanding it's all about getting into a good rhythm. If you sleep for 5 hours or whatever every single night it's fine, but if you're all over the place it's terrible for you, even if you're getting over 5 hours every night. Something about timing the biorhythms or something... Anyways I'll stop there as I don't want to sound like an idiot.

And of course alot depends on the person as well. I took PSYC back in first year and we learned about this one woman who slept something crazy like a couple hours a week or something, yet was perfectly healthy. Can't remember the name of the disorder. Obviously very rare though.

I have an OCD to hug people. If i dont get 15 hugs within the course of the day i usually end up waking up around midnight (if im not already up) and start screaming randomly...

Wait, you're a girl right?
And you have two girls french kissing as an avatar?
Yeah, you're good. You can get hugs anytime :D.
