How Big a Deal Is a Night of Lost Sleep?

well, posing the question actually implies that there is an option of not going. Otherwise, why would you ask the question in the first place, if that’s not an option? Like, if everyone had said it would kill your gains, and you would have still gone, then there was no reason to ask the question in the first place.

I kinda think you suck too. but probably not as much as yogi does. I just think you get really bogged down in minor, inconsequential details, and you should lighten up a little. I spent my 20’s drinking til 4am half the time.

Currently, I have a 3 year old son (almost 4). Wanna know the last time I got a full night’s sleep? I sure don’t remember when it was. It’s been awhile. The entire first year of my son’s life, I was probably averaging 4ish hours of sleep per night. I was a zombie. Consider that fact along with the fact that I’ve gone from completely non competitive in Strongman to competing in Nationals this year with a good shot at a top 5 finish.

What was the question again? Oh yea. You can stay up late one night.

The pet comment was sorta funny.

But OP you gotta relax. Roll a fat joint and smoke it with a buddy. Just make sure it’s indica.

Dude.

I used to stay up with buddies in my platoon drinking until 3 in the morning when we had formation and PT at 430. I don’t mean the 2-3 Smirnoff ices you’ll likely consume before spending half the party in the bathroom smearing lipstick around your face and calling yourself a fat whore, I mean DRINKING. A bottle of Jamo to the fuckin face. PT might be a six mile run. Barely remember lots of formation runs, don’t recall some at all. Was told I had a habit of jogging out of formation and vomiting while never losing speed. And I bet, on top of all of this, that all of us could have run circles around you while wearing a 60 lb combat load and boots.

Go have some fun and don’t talk about your lifting routine to girls at the party. Or don’t. But your question depressed the shit out of me.

Like asking random people online if it’s okay for you to stay up late?

Next on T-Nation, how big a deal is three or more sneezes in a row?

Not in the slightest. Had I said, “hey guys I’m deciding whether to go to a party and I want to know if not sleeping is a big deal and if so I might not go” then yes, but rest assured that I had already decided to go.

Why do so many people get upset when QUESTIONS get asked? Can’t one just ask for the sake of asking?

So what? Is this your argument to back up that I have to loosen up a bit? Look, I know I overthink at times, and as I mentioned in another thread of mine I’ve also been on somewhat of a therapy to address this as well, but that means nothing.

I’m not going to sit here and qualify myself to you to convince anyone that i am fun because I don’t care honestly, what any on this forum thinks of me is of zero impact whatsoever on my life.

But to answer to what the others have said…
I don’t like drinking very much. Does that mean I suck? I usually have a few drinks but I prefer smoking pot big time. And every time I smoke pot, I end up pigging out on everything in sight. That’s why last year I had stopped smoking and now I only do at parties.

For this party I had the idea of ordering some American snacks and stuff to try out, knowing we’d get high, and got lots of stuff from an American online store. Tried out pop tarts, peanut butter m&m’s, twinkies, lucky charms and others. On top of all the stuff we made with his barbecue.

No, I didn’t spend the party calling myself a fat whore and I didn’t need to tell anyone that I lifted, as I hardly ever talk about it but it’s usually people (girls more so) that come up to me and ask.

Oh, I also had sex twice. Then everyone fell asleep and there was nothing left to do or eat, so I grabbed the girl and we walked one hour in the dark till my house, where we spent the rest of the night.

How was your night yogi? :rooster:

Have you considered extending your pot ban to parties as well?

My tone of voice definitely doesn’t match the way it’s going to sound with me typing this, but it’s a bit obvious…

Of all the people who regularly reply to questions like this, it’s because they already know the very blatantly obvious answer. And it’s almost always a simple one.

I probably like you less than yogi does after that idiotic response.

OMG SAMUL HAD SEX!! TWICE!!! AND HE ATE POPTARTS!!!

So jelly.

You know, this topic is as dumb as all your other posts. Asking questions that don’t affect your life in the slightest. ‘Hey guys, what is the precise angle I should do my cable rows at, and how long should I pause on the contraction should it be 2.5 seconds or 3.2 seconds and should I use 22% of my max or 26%??? I’m not going to do anything different, I just like to ask annoying questions!!!’

I used to drink smirnoff ice. And Mike’s hard lemonade. And if I remember correctly, there was some Jack Daniels fruit punch thing? Does that still exist? I remember liking that. I haven’t had a smirnoff ice in… probably 16 years. But I can still remember exactly how awful they were. That was one of those things that I swore off after getting sick one too many times drinking it.

you know what, i couldn’t care less. i think you’re a valuable person and have always looked up to your posts since i’ve been here, but really now i’m not the one acting like “one who sucks.”

i didn’t state the sex or the pop tarts things to brag or anything, but to address that flappinit was hinting at in his post (so basically that i’m socially awkward and obsessive about eating) in his post, in which he was also trying to sound tough by putting me down. anyway, @flappinit props for being able to run and vomit at the same time, i never tried that but hey, i’m just a kid, you are the MAN here. the M A N.

go ahead, keep insulting me. but i’m starting to think that i might not be the idiot here, as you are the one misinterpreting a good chunk of what i say. and english is supposed to be YOUR native language, isn’t it?

anyway, i think you’re doing yourself a disservice by wasting time with an idiot like me, right? after all you’re a MAN, with kids no less, and you have important SHIT TO DO right?

i’ll waste no more time in this thread, as i got my answers and even more, so feel free to spend your precious time doing something else (if you run out of ideas ask your friend who likes to vomit and run, sounds fun for real. and it’s TOUGH. or you could do something even more fun and go up to a total stranger and tell them you don’t like them even if they don’t give a shit), because i won’t answer anymore.

Oh, I can’t run and drink anymore. I very rarely drink at all now. And not drinking is perfectly, 100 percent fine. At your age, at any age. It was a tongue-in-cheek recollection of stupid shit I did in the past despite being in really good shape, just like @flipcollar ‘s “drinking during his 20s” comment wasn’t to encourage you to drink for a decade, it was to show you that despite not one, but hundreds of nights of debauchery, he’s still in contention to be one of the strongest people in the country.

I’m glad you had fun, but the thought of being 18 at the beginning of summer and asking online people permission to go out to a party makes me sad inside.

Smirnoff Ice was one of the few things I could drink under the influence of ecstacy. This awesome club in Glasgow called The Arches had a wicked techno night and that was all we used to drink when I was there.

Blue WKD was another one. Things like that used to get called “poof juice” here in the UK but god damn they were drinkable.

This is exactly what I was getting at. This kid fucking sucks.

lol, yes you did, and the hilarious thing is it only served as further evidence of how much you suck as it shows you get laid so infrequently it’s still a big deal for you which is why you thought you could use it as a brag.

I literally eat poptarts and have sex more days of my life than I don’t. My pantry is FULL of poptarts. I buy them in bulk. And of course I have lots of sex, because I’m an adult male who uses steroids. I don’t have barbecue every night though, and I don’t prefer lucky charms. I go through a lot of cinnamon toast crunch. The milk is so good at the end.

Also, there’s a great shot that tastes just like cinnamon toast crunch milk. Trying to remember what goes into it… I know it has RumChata in it (which mixes great with SO many things, particularly flavored vodkas)… the internet is telling me it’s fireball whiskey (or any other cinnamon-flavored whiskey), but I feel like what I’ve had is different. IDK. Try that I guess.

Years ago I had a shot combo that tasted exactly like pancakes with maple syrup. It was some kind of liquor, maybe a blend, chased with OJ.

The ingredients did not make sense together, and shouldn’t have produced a delightful reminder of a Saturday breakfast, but it was pretty rad.

Did them with a bunch of people right before our big finals presentations at the bar across the street from our college. Good times.

Warm beer and cold pizza?
