Under normal everyday conditions, 6-8 hours is typical. However, when I'm involved in a big project, I'll code until 2-3am and rise around 7-8am. I'll do that for about 10 days until my wife starts figuring out that I'm talking to her with if-then-else statements. She'll force me to sleep in one morning which typically does the trick to get me back on track to start another 10 days of hard coding.

I bet on this too!
I have many times found solutions for problems on sleep. That's why I wake up so tired some times and I need rest.

It's worrying to see that a large percentage of us do not get enough sleep, (and going by the posts!) dont take it seriously either;).
My experience is that I started programming in games when the z80 based computers were about.
Found it addictive. In an average week I'd go at least 2-3 days without sleep (when I was single) because I just had to program (couldn't help it). Now I'm married I get about 5 hours sleep per night, although I appreciate I need at least 8. Although I feel fine in the day, Im sure I'm not running on all cylinders.
Anyway, the bottom line is ... I can't help it. Not enough hours in the day.
I'd like to know what the medical downsides are (excuding tiredness of course). have had a peek around the net but doesn't seem to imply that there are any really bad downsides.
Anyone got an insite ? it can't all be good !!!!!!!

Lack of sleep, in and of itself, does not directly constitute a threat to your health. There is, however, a strong correlation between poor sleeping habits, stress, and stress-related illness. I seem to remember there are also correlations between lack of sleep and an increased incidence of mental illness (such as chronic depression).

Consistent lack of sleep has a long term effect on the immune system. Your body is okay with occasional lack of sleep, but if you regularly don't get enough sleep then the body cannot perform all the "idle time garbage collection" it needs to. Eventually, any illnesses you get will have a worse effect than they would have had if you had more sleep regularly.

Sleep is always on my mind, when I saw the topic I just had to vote, everyone has their reasons for not sleeping, mine was the Gulf War, the first one, I was one of the unlucky ones that lived, just to be retired with Gulf War Syndrome, now sleep is but a dream, for those that don’t know about Gulf War please see my web site http://www.vetshelpcenter.com/. When your in my shoe’s and can’t really sleep for the rest of your life, then sleeping is a big problem, and yes there is long term health effects from not sleeping. Your body only rebuilds itself when you are sleeping. Do this experiment if you want; go to the gym and work out real hard for about 4 hours, overdue every thing and then stay awake for 2 days, note how you feel, get 8 hours sleep, then go back to the gym and do it again, this time go home and sleep for 8 hours and note how you feel. Now you understand what effect sleeping has on your body. I recommend 5 to 6 hours sleep, and I know that some people need 8, but anything over 8 more then every 7 days, just don’t help, you can’t make up for lost sleep, so don’t lose any sleep over this; sweet dreams.

Went to your site. Very impressed with your Service Career.
I read about your sleep disorder. Would you like to expand on it. How much, or how litle sleep do you get then, and ... I take it, that in sleep terms you are always tired. Is this a correct assumption ?... and ... are you always wanting to sleep (I appreciate that you can't).?

It's not a matter of how much sleep; it's just a matter of how long I lay in bed. Sleep is just a misperception for me, if I get up in the morning and don't remember staring at the ceiling all night, I feel like I slept good, reality sets in when the pain does, then I try to open the top to this child proof bottle full of morphine just to get the day going, this is the same day at least 15,000 other soldiers like myself have to look forward too each day. They call it Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Pain Syndrome, Chronic Depression, Chronic Anxiety with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) just to name a few, Gulf War Syndrome is easier to say and write and means the same thing. 
Lessons learned from 911: 1. United We Stand. 2. United’s We Fall. Gulf War Syndrome survivors never have a good day. http://www.vetshelpcenter.com/

Hello all,
I want to know the time elasped between two functions. The problem that faces me is that CTime, CTimeSpan measures in seconds and the elasped time will be much smaller. What shall I do?

No wonder you don't know how to deal with Time since you don't even know where to post your question in RIGHT place.
Hint: search Dr. Newcomer's "Time is the Simplest Thing..."![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Are you meaning that you sleep less than a second?

Cannot recall the exact title but there is an article here somewhere called something like "Hi performance tick counter".
Hope it helps.

I didn't sleep at all. This morning I slept one hour in the train. I'm just a few minutes at work an I can't even concentrate on staying awake!
Thus, all those people who keep braggin about how much they lack sleep are a bit off track! They should think about what they rather brag about: lacking sleep or getting a complement from your boss when you get the project done in time...
