Would anyone here be interested in a DGames secret santa? I would organize it and whatnot.

Can I just make a separate thread for this for signups and rules? It'd be easier.

actually nm, will make new thread. Got enough interest to see this made.

Gheb just complimented me.

Not sure if I'll feel this good ever again. Hell, I might as well just die.

Acro me like.

But yeah it's good, I changed jobs at o e point doing, 10-6am, was awful and quit.

Now at this one I'm closing at midnight which means I'm paid slightly more and works well with my sleep schedule.

Though I can't go home and Brawl/mtgo/league as much at night.

Graveyard shifts are awful.

I had a server ops job with my campus and I initially worked 2 am - 7 am.

I asked my boss for better hours if possible.

He gave me a 12 am - 8am. The misinterpretation was blatantly intentional.

And man those shifts suuuuuuuucked. I had a lab at 10 am, so I crashed on the couch. Then drove my sorry *** to lab.

Shame. Most of your friends play League in the morning/afternoon? That's odd.

Jesus ****ing christ.

In 2009, after the Israeli invasion pushed Hamas back and killed about 1,400 people in Gaza, 200 rockets hit Israel. The same was true in 2010. But last year the number rose to 600, and before this week the number this year was 700, according to the Israeli military.

****.

So, with the school schedule being crazy, I decided to do tons of all nighters and try to do a lot more of this sleeping technique called "Power Napping" or "Caffeinated Power Napping".

First time was yesterday, but I can't get used to it. Anyone mind helping out here?

As someone who's taught himself how to power nap effectively, let me tell you that you can't replace a solid hour sleep.

A proper power nap should be no longer than 15-20 minutes, so while power napping might work initially, your body simply won't be able to sustain itself on such little sleep. You should only really be power napping during the day or say if you're really tired and need to be productive for the next 4-5 hours.

Caffeine doesn't necessarily help you recover "more" during your sleep, it's mostly to help you overcome any initial drowsiness when you wake up. Another thing I like to do is immediately splash some cold water on my face and quickly intake some sugar. I find if I don't do the pre-nap coffee + cold water + sugar I end up being less productive than I was before the sleep.

So yeah, no more than 20 minutes (15 is ideal from what I've experienced). If you're like most people and can't immediately fall asleep when your head hits the pillow, I'd suggest setting your alarm for 20. Even if you only end up with 10 minutes of actual sleep, that's still better than 30 (when it comes to power napping anyway). And all nighters are bad for you, so try to only do them occasionally.

Unfortunately the mainstream media almost exclusively covers these things from the Israeli side.

I would like to say that Tom, after not fulfilling his end of a bargain with me, has been temporarily banned from Dgames. Until the deal is fulfilled, he will remain banned. This punishment was agreed on by him.

Continue on.

Idk if this is what you were going for, but pronounce this as "HandReeksOfScum"
Correct. I tried making a pun, but after I typed it, it didn't turn out as great as I thought.


Hahaha. Why doesn't it surprise me that Tom made a bet and lost so he can't post here.
