Operation: Sleep Deprivation

PreRAMBLE: Okay, first of all, I'd like to ask, how were your long weekends? (Listens quietly as you begin to talk, cuts you off at 3 seconds) Now that I've unselfishly "listened" to you, here's how my weekend went!

[Your mission is to:] Get as little sleep as possible over long weekend.

[2010-11-19, 09: 00] Wake up to clean house because friends are coming over.
Slept 6 hours.


[2010-11-19, 11: 00] Couple of friends from old school (Yaning and Xuechun) and Hannah come over to  house for relaxed day of catching up. Play many fun card games, such as Chinese Poker, Pai Chi, Hearts, and personal favourite; Mao. Most of which I lose. Oh well. Share many (many, many!) laughs, especially Yaning, who decided to demonstrate the practical use of ROTFL many times.
Slept 6 hours.

[2010-11-19, 6: 00] After friends leave, rush to  Midnight Madness (Girl Guide sleepover event), where I engage in many interesting activities, that literally last ALL NIGHT LONG (do NOT think wrong). Are forbidden to sleep by guiders.
Slept 6 hours.

[2010-11-20, 8: 00] Quickly go home and prepare confirmation class notes, study for test on same day.
Slept 6 hours.

[2010-11-20, 10: 00] Confirmation class. Is groggy and only obtains 79% on test.
Slept 6 hours.



[2010-11-20, 13: 00] Taekwondo Class. Lacks energy to make proper kicks and kihap (yell) Is scolded by master.
Slept 6 hours.

[2010-11-20, 14: 30] Finally breaks down and sleeps for 3 hours.
Slept 6 hours.

[2010-11-20, 19:00] Wakes up, eats dinner, and begins working on Printer comparison assignment.
Slept 9 hours.

[2010-11-21, 02:00] Retires after working on Printer comparison assignment for 6 hours.
Slept 9 hours.

[2010-11-21, 08:00]  Gets up to prepare bake sale items for church.
Slept 15 hours.

He's getting tired just reading.
[2010-11-21, 12:00] Gets back from church, begins to work on printer comparison assignment.
Slept 15 hours.

[2010-11-21, 18:00] Finally finishes assignment, uploads onto web, RELAXES!
Slept 15 hours.

[2010-11-21, 22:00] Is about to go to sleep, when I spot an error on my page! Thinks Mr. Arkin has closed Filezilla already. Can't sleep for entire night, knowing that there is an error in uploaded assignment.
Slept 15 hours.

[2010-11-22, 07:00] Wakes up from 4 hour sleep. Gets ready to go to school.
Slept 19 hours.

---Mission successful! Slept 19 hours over 4 nights! Achieved average of 4.75 hours of sleep per night---

Heh. Well, you can guess how alert I was in class today...Thank goodness it was a work period. Or else who knows what may have happened. I really need to go catch up on sleep now, so I'll talk more about why I won't be at class tomorrow TOMORROW. 

Capiche?

P.S. I LOVE getting as little sleep as possible! Okay. Erm. Sarcasm doesn't come across well through text, eh?
