| bill | posted 12-Jan-1999 7:24am If it's after 6:30am it means I'm not going to make it to work by 7a. I've told people at work that I'll be in by 7a, so that's bad. |
| bill | posted 12-Jan-1999 7:28am I added an option for "don't ever feel guilty" at the creators request. |
| lizzie | posted 12-Jan-1999 9:18am If I get up anytime after 10 AM I feel guilty, unless I was working in the middle of the night, or just got home very late. |
| cpierson | posted 12-Jan-1999 10:00am It's really quite sad. I used to be able to deal with sleeping till 11 on weekends ... |
| Gamera | posted 12-Jan-1999 11:23am It also depends on what else is going on, a little more broadly. Have I been working hard lately? have I been lame, and intending to get up earlier? Is it some time when I might reasonably slack off (the weekend, for example)? |
| romkey | posted 12-Jan-1999 1:23pm I only feel guilty if I get up late enough that I'm late for an appointment |
| jjg | posted 12-Jan-1999 1:49pm I never feel guilty about waking up late. If I sleep too long, more than ten hours, I do get a headache. |
| dpolicar | posted 12-Jan-1999 2:29pm If I'm sleeping late, it's because I need the sleep and I don't feel guilty about it. There have been times in my life when I've slept late every day, felt like I was accomplishing nothing, and was generally depressed... when I'm in that state, past 11 is my usual "I'm a sorry excuse for a human being" time, but I haven't been in that state for a long time. |
| kadai | posted 12-Jan-1999 2:37pm If I've got nothing else scheduled that day, I don't care when I get up. Inertia is bliss. |
| magbast | posted 12-Jan-1999 2:40pm i get too much sleep |
| pandora | posted 12-Jan-1999 3:37pm I can't sleep enough it seems like. I sleep til noon every day, and I'm still tired. Bleh bleh bleh. |
| steve | posted 12-Jan-1999 4:26pm On weekdays, I feel bad if I sleep past noon. On weekends, I like to sleep until I wake up, and if the sun has gone down, so much the better. |
| steve | posted 12-Jan-1999 4:29pm pandora: You are still a teenager, aren't you? This is one of the many things that suck about being a teenager, but it will get better, I promise. |
| eris | posted 12-Jan-1999 4:36pm I don't feel guilty unless there are things I should be doing. |
| pandora | posted 12-Jan-1999 6:01pm Yeah, 16. I'm glad to hear it gets better. |
| Jane | posted 12-Jan-1999 6:31pm I sleep till noon on weekends because I don't get enough sleep during the week. I just love being able to look at the clock and realize you don't have to get up till you want to. |
| bgoodman | posted 12-Jan-1999 8:16pm On non-work days, I can get up whenever I like. It's generally before noon. But there is little enough guilt involved. On work days, I feel guilty if I'm not up by 7:05... |
| hunter | posted 12-Jan-1999 8:36pm I never feel guilty about getting up. I occasionally feel stupid for sleeping in, when that wasn't part of the plan. When there is no reason for me to be up at a particular time and it will not adversely affect my sleep schedule, I'm happy to sleep until I wake up, whenever that may be. |
| Wicksy | posted 13-Jan-1999 10:55am pandora : you get up at noon and you're still tired. This is because you have too much sleep. Your body starts to adjust to the sleeping cycle/tendencies and starts to except it as the norm. This is why you're tired. Get up 2-3 hours earlier and your body will start performing normally again, not that there is a normal amount !! |
| reality | posted 13-Jan-1999 5:45pm I think the question is poorly worded. it doesn't take into account schedules.. it may have been better as "how long do you have to have slept for you to feel guilty about the time spent in bed?" or something along those lines. That said. I never feel guilty, unless I am skipping an obligation to stay in bed. If I am that tired/sick that I can't get out of bed, I'd find some way to warn those that I am abandoning.. this means that I get up for work, unless I am sick and on weekends I will sleep myself out (up to 14 hours) without a care. |
| elijahblue | posted 13-Jan-1999 7:55pm I don't feel guilty unless there is a particular thing I was supposed to or intended to do at a certain time that I slept through. |
| Mimi | posted 15-Jan-1999 4:28pm I'm a very early riser...sometimes I'm up by 4am. Unless you are being irresponsible about it, sleep as late as you like; sure wish I could. Even when I'm sick, I can't sleep. My husband could sleep through a tornado & he can get well in half the time because of this marvelous ability. My mother-in-law used to think it was such great fun to call early in the morning when I had a chance to sleep in & then deride us for still being in bed. Every time I think of it now I would like to wring her neck for being such a busybody. |
| doom | posted 18-Jan-1999 11:11am Mimi: my boyfriends mother calls us early on the weekends because she is sure that she can get in touch with us then. It is very annoying and no matter how much we tell her she still does it. |
| hunter | posted 18-Jan-1999 9:05pm Why don't you stop answering the phone on weekend mornings, let the answering machine catch it and get back to her later in the day? |
| doom | posted 19-Jan-1999 10:57am hunter: Because the phone already woke me up and in a sleepy state I always assume that the call is important so I answer it. |
| drdt | posted 19-Feb-1999 8:33pm I often feel guilty about sleeping in, never about getting up. |
| supplicant | posted 23-Feb-1999 8:45am Considering I have no sleeping pattern and go to bed and wake up at every single hour of the clock which pretty much equal frequency it's a little hard to get worked up about it ;) (and the options don't go far back enough - my mum would start to feel guilty if she wasn't up before 6am) |
| mandy | posted 10-Apr-1999 12:26am guilt is a useless emotion |
| Wicksy | posted 7-Jul-1999 7:38am before eastenders |
