| On some nights when I'm feeling like i'm too tired to sleep ( which makes perfect sense ,right ? ) and want to murder my health , energy and sanity , I spend the entire night watching anime instead of sleeping which is 9,10 hours of sleep time for 2 anime series ( because i'm a dumbass ) and by doing that will turn me into one of these three the next morning : - a zombie - a potato - ^both So my question for you MAL : Do you do it ? If so , how often do you do it ? |

| I only watch anime when I eat cereal Y'all are weird. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| all day every day. 4-5 hours of sleep is enough to not get you killed immediately |
 |
| Ya....it's a really bad idea did it like 250/365 days of last year, albeit not too extreme. More like going to bed at 11 but end up watching anime till like 1 or 2. I decided to not do it this year, or at least not nearly as much, and so far so good. Although I do cut myself some slack on vacation days. |
WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS. |
| theres only so much good anime to watch so im restraining my self from watching more than i should anyway. you guys should too. because once you're left with nothing but shit then its pretty much game over lol. |
| My biggest regret is using my real name as my user name. The continuous pursuit of finding that genuine thing. |
| I always watch like 3 episodes of anime then go to bed. Its just something I have been doing ever since I started watching anime. |
 |
| Already done it... And it doesn't feel good... So naturally, I don't do it nowadays... |
| I'm busy enough to sleep 3~4 hours a day on weekdays and if I do anything like that I will pass out |
| No, I don't do that, unless it's vacation and I've lost track of time playing a video game. Other than that I get sufficient sleep, because college > anime. |
_Ako_ said: Already done it... And it doesn't feel good... So naturally, I don't do it nowadays... Same,now i just watch 2,3 episodes then go to bed ,maybe more on weekends though .It's not worth it. ( still do it during summer time ) |

| Lol this is normal . Anime is made so you can watch it before sleep , right ? I have been doing it ever since i started to watch anime , i watch 2 or 3 or 4 episodes before sleeping . That would put me to sleep at 2 or 3 am . And this is normal , have been doing it for years and i finished college with great score and i am healthy as fuck ( i did blood test 2 weeks ago lol ) . By the way its a myth that you need alot of sleeping , read many articles , new news and shit . You need 6 hours . The people who sleeps 6 hours were showen to be much healther , though i must say what matters the most is sleeping during the night hours . |

If I wanna shitpost on MAL/discord then I will... |
| I did only spend one entire night up watching anime because I was hooked to Evangelion. When I finished watching I was so confused and disappointed about the ending that I couldn't sleep and ended up researching for hours and bang! No sleep! I did spend a few nights up in the past playing multi-player video games with friends, but I don't do that anymore because I realized that was killing my health. |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| Sleep is for the weak. I haven't slept in years from all the waifu wars. |

That means you still sleep , I'm talking about not sleeping at all and watch like 12 episodes , I used to do and now I'm feeling like doing again but i want to know do others do it and so far , i think i'm gonna stop killing myself |

| This would sound like a problem, but Ive done it a lot and still do every so often. Damn insomnia. It's partially how I've managed to rewatch so many animes, Also I'm like a zombie the next day, but still active enough to do whatever I need to. |
| no in fact i try to avoid anime when i am too sleepy some exceptions now and then but still.. late night is my time for idle internet browsing & hearthstone |

cookies0 said: Woot Woot! Shots Fired! But in all seriousness, I at least wait until everyone else is awake, especially if I'm gonna watch it on DVD. I don't think I'll ever watch anime between 12:00 AM and 7:00 AM, unless I'm staying up late, and even then, I usually quit before 12.No. I'm not weeab enough to neglect my basic biological needs, just to watch some asian cartoons. |

| I will sometimes stay up later than I planned to finish off a disc but no I'm not going to stay up when I'm tired. I'm a night owl though, so I do like to sleep during the day and stay up all night watching anime when I don't have to be to work or somewhere else the next day. |

| I used to stay up all night watching anime. To 3AM or 4 AM in the morning, sometimes later. However, because of recent events in my life, I am trying to take better care of myself and haven't been going to bed as late. I purposefully don't watch anime when I am tired or going to bed because I know it will keep me up later. |
| No, i need sleep so i just end up going to sleep instead of staying up. |
| It became a habit, it's going to kill me once school starts btw I don't do this just to anime, I play video games and watch yt |
| "Because people don't have wings.. We look for ways to fly." |
| Wait... isn't that normal? ... oh no... |
| damn, the forums these days... |
| I somehow always manage to fit 2-3 hours of anime every night and I don't even know how most times. I guess I get bored with other things to do so it's just second nature to hit up some media to watch. |
 |
| Spending entire night instead of sleeping. . . I think, I do it twice in a week. . . |
"People who don't see that anime has changed are either wearing "glasses" or watching only a certain type (and or era) of anime" "Having a low mean score doesn't necessarily mean one doesn't enjoy anime. Rating system is not a school grading system." "Elitist is people who think he is superior than others. Not necessarily ones who insulting/critisizing your favorite anime or people who enjoy a certain type of anime" "Fanboy is people who translating "your favorite anime is shit" into "you are shit". "Being a fanboy is an indication of elitism" |
| Depends how good the anime is. Some anime will keep me up all night and some would cure my insomnia. |

| I love sleeping WAY too much. XD I am certain I sleep more than I watch anime. But hey, in dreams, you get to be animu characters so...really, what's better than that? It balances out. XD |
  |
| I haven't even pulled off an all nighter for anything. Sometimes Ill watch Anime late depends on what I did that day. |
 |
| I sleep sometimes, just joking i sleep a lot more cause there just isn't any good airing animes as of right now. Mostly sleeping for around 7hrs is good enough, just waiting for that 1 episode of shukogeki a week is enough. |
 |
| I wish I could do that. Problem is that ruins the following day's anime. Also, gotta work to support my hobby. |

| I was too tired to sleep yesterday but I went and played Overwatch insteaf of watching something. Then my monitor crapped out on me in the middle of the night so I had no choice but to go to sleep. Today I played Overwatch again on a new monitor until 6am. Not it's 7am and I'm going to bed after watching 2 anime episodes. Not sleeping isn't healthy after all. I'll be back at 2pm. That's my story. CodeBlazeFate said: cookies0 said: Woot Woot! Shots Fired! But in all seriousness, I at least wait until everyone else is awake, especially if I'm gonna watch it on DVD.

I think I watched at least 60-70% of my anime list between 12am and 7am :>. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Hmm this has happened to me while reading manga, but just a few times and definitely not for 9-10 hours. When I stayed like this it mainly depended on the anime I was watching. Sometimes I felt like I really wanted to watch another one but I knew I had to get some sleep for my own good and resisted. It's not that hard, at least for me. |
| During our most recent school holiday, I completely fucked up my sleep schedule. I'd start a 1-cour show at 12am and then binge-watch it til I finished it at around 4am. Then I'd watch more anime until I fell asleep at 7 - 10am. I can't even begin to count the amount of times I've said 'one more episode' and ending up only getting 3 hours of sleep. I've recently been getting a lot more sleep and I feel much better than I have the past few years. |
| Only if the next day is a day off. Sometimes I just thought sleeping is such a waste of a time I might as well watch some anime, but in the end it depend if the anime can force me to stay awake or not. |
 |
| My sleep patterns are quite robust. Even if I end up too agitated to sleep, it means 1-2 hours of anime at most, after which I'm tired enough to sleep. I have no idea how do you people manage to avoid sleeping so much. I only did it a few times, when preparing for exams. |
