Alright, so as the title suggests, this is pretty much a warning to all you late-night internet users. Please, for the love of Celestia, DON'T stay up to the extent of screwing up your sleep cycle!!

I cannot stress the importance of sleep, well, actually, I suppose I could: IF YOU DON'T SLEEP EVENTUALLY YOU WILL DIE!!

That might be a bit exaggerated, but yeah, basic importance level. I'm saying this because once you screw with your sleep cycle, it takes a lot to get it back in shape. Especially if you go to school or have a job.

Let's look at it this way: Say Jimmy normally gets 8-9 hours of sleep every night. He falls asleep around 10:00-11:00 PM and wakes up around 6:00-7:00 AM. He then gets ready, and goes to school at 8:00 AM until 3:00 PM. He then works at a generic general store part-time from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM. He goes home, eats dinner, does his homework, watches a movie or two, does his personal hygiene, then the cycle repeats.

Say that Jimmy finds the internet for his first time, on a Monday night. Hooray for Jimmy, right? Not exactly, because Jimmy decides to look up cat videos until 5:30 AM, at which time he goes to his room, and collapses on his bed. His alarm wakes him up at 6:30 AM and he sluggishly gets ready for school.

He dozes off on the bus ride there, but forces himself out of it. All day long at school, Jimmy is sluggish, and not wanting to cooperate, focus, or pay attention. He falls asleep during his last class, and receives a warning slip from his teacher for doing so. After school, he walks to the general store, trying to hype himself up in order to stay awake.

The whole time he's at the store, Jimmy's productivity is down. He is less of a friendly person, and gets irritated quickly. His actions cause his boss to become cross with Jimmy, and as such, Jimmy is sent home early.

When Jimmy gets home, he's so tired he collapses on his bed immediately, and goes to sleep. His alarm wakes him up at the normal time (6:30 AM) and Jimmy finally feels well-rested. However, Jimmy has not showered, has not done his homework, and has not eaten in 18 hours. He quickly goes through his hygiene routine, eats a stellar breakfast, and does as much of his homework as he can, as quickly as he can.

He's nearly halfway done when the bus arrives to pick him up. He quickly gathers his things, runs out the door, and hops on the bus. He tries to do some more while he's on the bus, but the ride is too bumpy to write, and the other kids are too noisy to think, so Jimmy gives up.

He arrives at school with half-done homework, and, let's just give Jimmy a test in every class, because why not?

After school, Jimmy goes to work, and because of his behavior yesterday, his boss always keeps an extra good eye on him. He gets home from work, and Jimmy's parents begin to discuss with him the grades he got on his tests. (The teachers are superhuman, okay?)

Jimmy is grounded for a week, his boss isn't all that happy with him, and he's strayed from his path of all A's.

All because Jimmy screwed up his sleep cycle.

Why am I telling you guys this? Because I stayed up all night, and have to go to work today. Yep.

Anyways, have fun guys, and thanks for reading!! Someone put me out of my misery...
