ideas to watch these late games and still get 8 hours sleep??

I was lucky enough to be scheduled for second shift this week. I miss the first 5 to 8 minutes of the game, but I can get as much sleep as I want.

 

Portland's 9 PM starts were tough, 9:30 PM is even worse.

 

im in australia, 10 30 pm ET for USA is around 12:30pm here, which has resulted in me skipping all my classes everytime rockets are playing

anyway perhaps one way you can help offset your lack of sleep (some people cannot do this) is have an afternoon nap after u get home from work, get your 1-2 hour power nap, wake up, watch the game, go to bed, and hopefully the power nap would have compensated for the lost hours of sleep... maybe? just throwing up crazy ideas, anyway i feel your pain too buddy... falling so far behind in my workload, just hope my group members for my assignments dont surf clutchfans hahaha otherwise my excuses for not turning up to meetings will fail

 

Dude i'm in the same boat as you, except i have to get up at 5:30...so i end up getting 4 1/2 hrs of sleep. its extremely frustrating

 

take a nap before the game, wake up watch the game back to bed

 

Sick day

 

Hahaha, I told my co-worker that the playoffs is messing up my sleep schedule...I wake up either 6:30 or 7 for work. I don't go to sleep right away after the games because I'm too wired. I end up getting 5 hours of sleep. I need 7-8 hours of sleep to function.

I guess we gotta suck it up because we're in the second round!!!

 

You all have it easy. I have to be up by 3am. At that point there is no sense in even trying to get an hour or two of sleep.

 

I'm in TOTAL agreement on this. West Coast or not, there is zero reason games should start that late.

Do they have NBA Finals games @ 9:30? I'm legitimately curious. I'd like to see if they pull this on folks from the east coast.

 

biphasic sleeping.

though it's probably too late for you to adjust now as you will still feel like crap in the initial adjustment process.

 

Go to sleep an hour earlier than normal time, get your 7-8 hours of sleep, DVR the game and watch it before you go to work (assuming you are forwarding through all commercials and going at 1x speed watching the game).

 

This has been a problem for me since the playoffs started. This week especially.

In my younger days, these late games were never a problem. But nowadays, it’s not as easy as it used to be to deal with them the next day. Especially if it was a particularly exciting game like Monday’s, since it takes me a while to ‘wind down’, like others have mentioned. I tend to be pretty grumpy at work when I don’t get a good night’s sleep.

I actually called in sick yesterday just to try and catch up on my sleep. Funny, everyone at work knows EXACTLY why I called in...

I’m going to try and take a nap before tonight’s game. This is not as easy as it sounds, since 7 to 9 is prime ‘baby makin’ time’ and the wife doesn’t like to skip a day…

I'm glad we're not in the Eastern time zone...

 

I get off at 430pm everyday...so today Im going to go straight home and take a nap.

 

i just say f it and go into work at 1030am

 

Deal with it.

But in all seriousness, this is one thing i like about living on the West Coast. I tape my games and as soon as i get home i start watching it on the DVR.

East Coast: game didn't end till 2:00

 

before game 2 of the portland game, i took and nap. that would've worked fine if not for the hangover. can't do that tonight (or last monday) due to a little league game.

i was fine yesterday...somehow a win makes me less tired.

 

Suck it up......12 years since round 2......


GO ROCKETS !!

I've experienced this. It is a TERRIBLE idea to try and get an hour or two of sleep. Minus well not sleep at all.

Anyways, take a nap before the game. I usually have to be up for work at around 6 or so.

Nice shower helps also.


... oh, and there's always cocaine.
