    I work night shifts in Sainsburys, my shifts are from 10pm until 6am so I don't normally sleep until about 7/8 and then don't wake up until at least 3/4.
    Even when I'm not working I can't sleep until about 6am these days.

    I've no work tomorrow so I'll probably be up late tonight. I'd say you'd be hard pressed to keep this going at a regular rate until 7am.

    Hmm I do have final fantasy 12 to play. If I get really into that I could end up staying up all night.

    Night shift sounds great, but trust me, its not all that its hyped up to be.
    When things go pear shaped it can be the worst experience ever. What you do anyway :p

    Almighty, I could never get into FF games, although If I could get Team Fortress 2 in here I would be laughing.

    Lucky you. All the hundreds of hours I've spend on them (oblivion as well), I could have used on something more productive. Oh well, time to level up another 100 odd levels. :D

    Depends. I can get by on around 2 or 3 hours but only for a couple of days in a row but I'd be wrecked towards the end.

    I didn't get much sleep last night, I was working all day and I played football for about 2 hours after work so I'm shattered. Plus I'm working till 9 tomorrow so I'm gonna try and get a decent sleep tonight. I don't start until 12 tomorrow so I get a bit of a sleep in.

    That game screwed up my sleeping patterns so badly. "Just another 5 minutes and then I'll go to bed". Before you know it, it's getting bright outside and one of your friends is getting up for work.

    And a load of them are crap, like "I need you to pick a flower for me" or "There's a rat in my basement and I need someone to kill it". You still do them though.

    Yeah but I killed that rat good. Was very proud of my work there. Yeah.

    One of the voice actors pisses me off though, and Martin is Guy of Guisborne off the new Robin Hood!
