If there's one thing I can do all day, it's S-L-E-E-P-I-N-G! I'm one of those people who never gets enough sleep. I can sleep all day and just stay in my room. No eating, TV, whatsoever. I am a person who tends to be oddly creative and productive during night time, and has an awfully hard time getting up in the morning. I wish I could be more like the ones who can get up very early and retires early too at night. But since I feel there's so much to do in the evening, it makes me uneasy and hard for me to go to bed early. I don't believe I have insomia though. Oh well, please share with us what will make your day:)

We seem to be sharing the same habits almost. Even i dont sleep at all or sleep continuosly. It is really to get to bed early. Especially when you in front of ur system you dont know the time and once it so happened that i was playing a game and found myself not giving up and it was bright sunny morning...it had happened in several occassions where i sleep so much so that sometimes the dates get changed.
My records: Awake for more than 75 hours
Asleep for mote than 52 hours

Wow, some record you've got there! The longest time I've been awake I guess, was 24 hours. Maybe your body clock has already gotten quite confused as you have extreme sleeping habits. Please take care though of being awake longer than you should, as it may negatively affect your health in the long run.

I will do a lot of community service.This has always been my priority. That's why I am looking for a home based work so that I can spend more time serving others. I am a member of a non-profit organization. We help uplift the lives of others by teaching or helping them realize their intrinsic values.

It's inspiring to know people like you who are selflessly serving and uplifting the lives of others. I was once a volunteer teacher in an orphanage run by nuns when I was in college, and it's a good feeling to give back something to the community, especially the less fortunate. No matter how little time you share with them, the fact that you had the time to be with them really means a lot to these people. Keep it up! :)

I love to read. I could lay in bed all day and read quite happily. It doesn't even really matter what kind of book it is as long as it's not educational. I do try to alternate what I read though. I get bored if I keep reading romance book after romance book. I like to throw in novels, suspense and thrillers too.
I could probably also watch movies all day long. I have several hundred DVDs in my collection.

I would like nothing better then to sleep all day. Especially since this is my day off at work. It would be nice to get to sleep in a little, just once. But....... of course, I have to take the kids to school, my mom to the grocery store, clean the house, etc. Maybe I can sneak a nap in there somewhere. That would make my day!

I know how it is. Although we have our hands full doing a lot of things all at the same time, it's also best to schedule a 'FOR ME' day. Give ourselves a break and some pampering, do salon stuff, or get a massage. Well in our case, get some quality sleep that is! :)

I would love to scrap book all day. I love doing it and wish I could turn it into a career somehow. I started this hobby about seven years ago and have less and less time to do it. I have three kids and work part time. I hear you with not getting enough sleep. I find myself napping through the day or nodding off if I sit down to read or watch the news.

Yeah, some people have full time careers in scrapboking. If you're really into it, I say you go for it! Are you into classic or digital scrapbooking? Whichever it may be, I hope you can pursue that. I'd like very much to be a stay-at-home mom and just work part time. Hopefully soon! It's good that we have rooms in the office where we can take a quick nap whenever we feel sleepy.

i like to sleep all day, because i need alot of sleep, and because of my studies, i am always late in sleeping. I like to relax.

Oh, I so much agree with you!
I have been feeling so sleepy lately!
Getting up early for work, almost falling off my chair during the first hours in the office...
Sleeping is good.
It´s a magic travel to some other world.
I would never agree with those people who think that sleeping is losing time.
I have always been feeling jealous about those cats or dogs who spend 80% of their time sleeping, while their masters are taking care of the problems.

Sleep, which is free and has no price has surprisingly become a luxury nowadays. Not everybody can afford it because people tend to work longer hours and sleep less. Sleeping rejuvenates the body and mind that I too, would never consider it a waste of time :)

if there is one thing that i can do all day is watching a marathon. i watch Friends marathon from season 1 to 10 for week. we also have a dvd of prison break and i watch it all day. i can't get enough of it. after one episode i would want to know what happens next so i'll watch the next episode and just keep watching it.

That's what I do sometimes, watching 2-3 dvd movies tops! That's the maximum, since I already get a headache after watching the 3rd one. I haven't tried watching a series, but I will when I have the time. I'm sure I'd be pretty addicted and will not stop till it's over! hahaha. It's like reading a good book that you can't put down.

If i start doing crafts I do it all day every day, if i find a good website i do it all every day and if i find a new bar i drink there all day every day until i discover something new.
always thought i had myself one of those addictive personalities!!!

Quite a passion you have there! Sometimes I am like that too. When I'm doing layouts in photoshop, which I do very often, I end up missing meals and I just simply get lost into what I'm doing that I forget the time. I believe I also get into addictive mode once in a while, but then when it happens, all I'm left with are unfinished stuff or projects that are halfway done :(

well mate its a sad state of yours that you dont get enough sleep.having good sleep is very essential as far as i am concerned.it just rejuvunates one.the one thing i can do all day is listening to some head-banging hardcore rock music.i just love doing that.i sort of go into a divine state whenever i turn the volume to the max and listen to that.its my favourite pass time.

Well.
I would love to spend all day with my son. Of course my wife but i can't wait to play in the garden with him, a little bit of football!
So i would say if i can could spend all day, it's got to be playing with my son. =)
Kudos!

Sleeping is great. I am also a big fan of slumber time! hehe.
Strange coz as a kid I used to hate having to sleep, but now I can't get enough of the dreamland. lol.
But I guess it would have to be playiing piano or playing guitar or the such. Anything to do with music I could most definetely do all day. Probably spend 24 hours in a great recording studio would be amazing! I most certainly would not even think of anything else whilst in there (not even sleep! hahahaha).
Thanks for the question... got me thinking for sure.
Love and light.

I'm similar to you on one count and that is I also like to stay up and awake at nights and get up late, and very particularly during exams. It's because I somehow find studying on the day of the exam a lot more strenuous than studying on the previous night(even though theoretically, it's already the day of the exam after 12'o clock!) My parents scold me for doing so, but as I am effectively keeping my study hours same, they don't do so very seriously. Like you, if I sometimes go to sleep early, I remain awake upto 2'o clock and become bored.
And then, as for what will make my day, it's computer games. I simply love them and somehow feel that 24 hours is a rather short time when I sit down to play. But my eyes of course get fatigued after quite a while, and then I almost get angry over my eyes!
