I dont know about everyone here, but when I say to a couple of my friends "yeah I am tired, I got up at 7 A.M. today"...they will say "7 is NOTHING I GOT UP AT 5 A.M."

When I complain about being tired because of being up early, I get harassed because I didnt get up as early as my friends.

It doesnt make sense, Yeah you got up at 5 but if you went to sleep at 10 the night before, thats a full nights rest. I say "yeah i was up late doing homework till 3 A.M. and had to wake up at 7 so I am tired"....I get "YOU ARE WEAK AND PATHETIC 7 IS NOTHING I WAS UP AT 5"

When did how early you wake up become a competition??

I am sure some of you post high school grads know what I am talking about.

They are pretty much saying what do you have to complain about.

Ya, I know, I never say that though, sleep is sleep, it doesnt matter when you goto sleep, theoretically you could say "YEAH DUDE I BEEN UP SINCE 4 P.M."...having gone to bed at 12 P.M., its all just a bunch of crap which drives me nuts..... Also My friends that pull this crap on me complain that I dont want to go out drinking at 4 P.M. on a Tuesday night...I get harassed for wanting to go out at 8 P.M. Seriously is 8 P.M. abnormal for wanting to go out and have some drinks? Eski_Boi: Its still like that, and I still stay up very late, but its hard ot pull off when you HAVE to get up at 7 every day of the week, I used to pull it off all the time, but I am 23 now and its pretty much not worth it to compete in that competition anymore hehehe.

It became a competition when someone realised they could say "I win, you suck lol" after waking up earlier than somebody else.

It still works that way a lot of the time for me, I pull off heroic efforts staying up at night on like 4 hours of sleep, but since I am 23 a decent pool of my friends have jobs and will give me crap because I didnt get up early for them. I am on winter break from school now and I back on the Ol' goto bed at 3-8 A.M. and sleep till 5. I love it! All the haters can go suck and egg!

I always compete with my friends to see who can get the most sleep. "Man, I only got five hours of sleep last night" "Damn, that sucks for you; I got eight" "Eight? You lucky bastard." *Beats skull in with tire iron* Really though, we both know the important aspects of of getting enough sleep.

I don't know, for me it's always been that way. My brother and I would always compete over the most pointless things. I'd always get somewhere between 4 hours of sleep (somewhere around 2AM-6AM usually) when he would get something like 7 hours of sleep every night. It just gave me the opportunity to call him a punk. :)

Nah, that happens to me all the time too. I stay up really late (2-5 AM) and wake up only a few hours later, but I wake up pretty late compared to the other people around me. I wake up at 7:30 (a regular school day starts at 8) or even later because I live close to school and I shower the night before, but most of my friends and people I talk to wake up at 6:00 or earlier because they go to bed at a normal hour and they like to take their time in the morning. I get tired of it being a competition too.

I don't really wake up early anymore, so I don't really say such things. Usually me and my friends try to see who stays up the latest, or who sleeps the longest. Though I never sleep past 11 and never stay up past 3 so I lose. :( But in all seriousness, it really is just something to talk about, not really something we take seriously at all.

Saying a specific time you got up while complaining about being tired starts it, just say you got up early and or didnt get a lot of sleep last night or perhaps get less annoying friends ;)
