Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 26 Jun 18

As I was out taking pictures of flowers in my neighborhood, I noticed this prickly lettuce weed growing in the street as I walked by. It can't have any deep roots in just the dirt that the wind has blown against the curb. Yet it...

Kandase @Kandae11 (57231) 10 Mar 17

Have you ever managed forty-eight hours without sleep? I won't go into details on this post - but I have. After the first twenty-four hours, I felt lethargic and must have dozed off a couple of times - but for no longer than...

Artgirl @owstalaga (4825) • Philippines 28 Sep 15

I finally realized what "disease" I have. I probably have chronic sleep deprivation for several years now? Self diagnosed of course so let's take it with a grain of salt. As I idly scrolled through my FB news feed a...

What is the shortest amount of sleep you have ever gotten?

schwing_girl89 @schwing_girl89 (278) • United States 19 Dec 08

There are so many reasons to stay up at night. Good movies, SNL or MadTV on Saturdays. Talk shows. Sleep overs. All-nighters! But, sleep deprivation does hurt us in the end. I honestly cannot recall what the longest is that I have...

How many hours of straight sleep do you get per night?

Bee1955 @Bee1955 (3882) • United States 4 Jan 07

Its been impossible for me to stay asleep throughout the night lately. Seems the older I get the more I wake up. I've taken sleep studies, pills, special drinks and still after a few hours, I'm wide awake! Anyone else?
