This Troper is surprised this was not made yet. Anyway, she suffers from Type A when she has problems falling asleep after the 24 hour mark. Also perpetually sleepy even if I get enough or more than enough sleep for weeks on end. Personal record was 72 hours thanks to just simply forgetting to sleep. Needless to say, I was out like a light from 10 pm to about 11 pm the next night. Thankfully, the day I slept away was Thanksgiving so I didn't miss anything important. In fact, I woke up just after everyone else ate and they were getting ready to put away the food! The 24 hours before I finally crashed, I was extremely giddy and I was stared at a lot.

This troper, while going out to meet someone at night was questioned by an old friend why I was out so late when I could be sleeping. My answer? NoRestForTheWicked.

Why were they awake to be asking you?

Tropers/{{JET73L}} is strange and sufferrs from all three types, though the second type is usually more along the lines of "Forgets To Sleep" than "{{Determinator}}" and the Happy Drunk personality that comes with the first type is typically a subtle foreshadowing symptom of the chemical imbalances and eventual hallucinations that come with type 3 (and the type 3 itself usually involves intense paranoia as much as it involves hallucinations, though it does sometimes just make theee trrrooopppeeeerrr rrrreeeeeeaaaalllyyyy... sssllooowww... annndd... ummm...).

This troper sometimes refuses to sleep this results, not in a happy, caffeine pumped teen, but in a cranky, ache-y and foul mouthed girl who will pass out the moment she finds a bed. This comes from a sort of neo-paranoia coupled with an already bounding anxiety disorder, meaning that she is suspicious of falling asleep while others are awake. Thirteen hour plane ride or not, I'm not going to sleep, ''thank you very much.'' I hate sleeping in something other than a bed, too, so even when I'm in the company of the few people I trust, I have to find a bed to be able to close my eyes. See that? Not comical at all.

This troper goes between type A and C when I have to go without sleep, I get the mental symptoms, but I act like a stoned hippie. But this pales in comparison to a highschool colleague of this troper. Said colleague spent an entire night playing Call of Duty: Black Ops and didn't get any sleep. In order to stay awake, he had to take high amounts of caffeine and sugar (he even had one of his friends bring black coffee to school). The problem with this was that he does NOT respond well to sugar or caffeine, and was just twitching and giggling most of the day like some kind of undermedicated psychopath. He couldn't even point out the window without his finger quivering.

This troper is an insomniac who gets very little sleep, yet extremely rarely is tired or has symptoms of sleep deprivation. Of course he is also schizophrenic and bipolar, he hallucinates even with more enough sleep, and because of his manic state he can run on less sleep.

Given how much trouble this troper has getting to sleep... The song on my alarm is Cage the Elephant "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked"

This troper is a Type C which ends up making her a Type A to those around her. I end up giddy and almost annoying, via my hallucinations. This, mixed wit severe chronic depression, self-hatred, and a slight HairTriggerTemper, is probably the mist bizarre combination that makes up my personality. I go to bed at 11 but don't sleep until 2 or 3 AM to get up at about 6AM. On repeated days with no sleep, I will fly into a psychopathic rage, or in extreme cases, snap and just sit curled up, crying.

This troper is probably a subversion of the type D insomniac. After some repeated cases of Sleep Paralysis he got rid of it but as a side effect he learned to ''only go to sleep when I feel sleepy.'' This results in that he can usually go to sleep at 2:00 even though he wakes up at 6:30. Or sometimes he may go to sleep at 4:00. There are little side effects besides of the probability that the troper will fall asleep during specifically boring classes (Blurry power point presentations are evil).

I frequently go over 24 hours without sleeping (because sometimes I just ''can't''), but I don't really belong in any of those types. I just get in a very bad mood very easily. I do occasionally use it to my advantage to go into Type B when I need to, though.

This troper's sleeping pattern is... well, fucked up beyond comprehensibility, quite possibly due to chronic insomnia. The odd thing is, I can function normally on a few hours to little sleep at all provided I don't go too far past the twenty-four hour mark. Maybe a tiny bit slower and slightly more apt to take short naps during car rides, but the only objectively bad side effect is my skin becomes noticeably paler, making the dark circles under my eyes much more noticeable. Two, three days of no sleep, though, and I'm pretty toony when I'm not lethargic and passing out from exhaustion.

This troper is convinced that he is physically incapable of falling asleep unless he is DEAD tired. Otherwise, it may take several hours of thinking and contemplating for me to finally doze off (The only cure to this appears to be a Pre-Algebra lecture). Even then, I've pulled all-nighters for various reasons, from a procrastinated school project to standard homework to an overflow of ideas, or simply being too excited to sleep because I'm going on a big trip the next day. Having to wake up at 5:00 AM to catch the school bus does not help. Neither does TV Tropes.

This troper has terrible, horrible insomnia. It takes hours of lying awake in bed for her to fall asleep, regardless of when she went to bed or how tired she is. She also can only fall asleep once per night, it seems, since when something wakes her up she can never fall back asleep.

This tropette was a Full Diploma International Baccalaureate student in high school. I averaged about 3-4 hours a night on weekdays if I was lucky, sinking to about 2-1 on particularly hectic weeks; more than once, I pulled several zero-sleep nights in a row - and mind you, I started working almost as soon as I got home and got my chores done, although I switched halfway through to taking a heavy nap after my chores and then just working straight through the night. There were weekends when things got really bad, and I ended up pulling all-nighters on ''Friday or Saturday night'' -- and sometimes ''both'' -- to get my work done. I made excellent grades and graduated in the top 1% of my class, for what it's worth, but God, I was an ill-tempered coffee-and-tea-swilling panda-eyed zombie. The first week of summer, my boyfriend didn't see me at all, I was sleeping so much; the second week, he was floored about how cheerful and energetic I was.
