EVE's a social game most of the time, thus if you wanna "jack in" and fleet up or hang out with other fellow spacenerds you'd better at least have the energy to keep up with 'em. Either they're trying to talk to you in a chat box, or they might settle for a one-way conversation with guns and missiles and their little drone friends for the time being until you're more chipper.
I noticed If I get a crap amount of sleep I'm good for maybe 1 hour of EVE, tops. Then i'm either doing another game that requires less brain or less social interaction, or getting some sleep, or doing something else entirely.
So what's the minimum sleep you're willing to put up with EVE? And if you're pushing it...how long can you push it? I.e. me on 4 hours sleep going an hour tops Haaaaaalp my head's on fire |

Its a video game. I have no idea how to relate to your post. If I'm tired, I go to sleep and play EvE I do not. If suddenly boobies, I don't play EvE either. In fact, there are a lot of things, friends with free beer, kids doing something cool, that would convince me to not play EvE. Sleepy, go to sleep. "You're a d-bag.

...I don't know, I sleep 8hrs every night. It's about looking and feeling 10yrs younger than I really am and retaining my ability for short term memory which I need to fulfill job tasks. That and coffee ...but not after mid day. Last time I slept less than 8 was one day in November. |

There was a time when I was playing all day, only interrupted by around eight hours of work and sleep.
That was a good time.
I guess I could have taken 15min powernaps ever 20min... xD |

Sleep is merely a state caused by an acute lack of caffeine. |

I dont play EVE when I dont want to in general. Im pretty sure most people feel that way about a game or any hobby.
If I want to play, but I'm tired, I find myself not handling crap properly. My flexibility drops and I get angry and emo. Which is bad. Cos this is EVE.
Some examples: - People undock in the wrong ship - People bring cheap ass ships - "I want to join, but cant cos I dont have that ship" - Fleet takes forever to undock and move - Insults - People throwing **** my way, forcing me to think for them - Forumposts about n00bs wanting instant skillpoints / nerf h-sec / nerf null etc
I cant really handle that with less than 4 hours of sleep. Which is bad because EVE is "just" a game. Also.... EVE
TL;DR: 4 or less

Oh my goodness. Did I really just read a post suggesting EVE players get an appropriate amount of REM sleep? Next thing you know someone will suggest people not play while sh*t-faced drunk!

Won't wonders never cease? But you're always yawning.
Surely you play on very little sleep in order for you to seem so tired most of the time. . -á<- Argue this, not this ->-á( -í-¦ -£-û -í-¦) |

Nope. Diapers are dry. All good at the nursing home here.

You've probably heard this a few times: someone yawns in fleet, so you yawn. God-of-your-choice help you if you're already tired, or out of caffeine. Or how many times have you logged in and just "hung around" in a daze, spinning ships but not really doing anything at all 'cause you were so damn tired?
I could probably file away a few months of my total life after 5 years of EVE in that lil' category...damn. Haaaaaalp my head's on fire |

Negative.
Sleep rules all, including nerdy spaceship games... which I love, BTW.
But I love sleep even more, and beyond that my wife is great in bed and if I'm going to lose any sleep it will be her fault... not some bunch of neckbeards who can't get their **** together in a proper fleet half the time, and are therefore wasting mine.
Ooooo-rah
... and I was just saying the other day, "Damn, I miss Soundwave"....

I remember sleep, I used to do it back when I had a sensible job.
Then they invented modafinil, now the idea of laying down for hours on end with my eyes closed just seems silly. Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.-á |

Mostly good **** so far.
[06:12:27] Jeanne Hurt > grr...falling asleep mid warp. should go to bed
[06:13:47] Azulas Norpheia > Dont give in. hahaha
Part of the nature of this game is we "HAVE" to stick it out, or we're out a nice ship/nice clone/x amount of work or isk grinding to pay for what we'd lose if we said "**** it i'm goin to bed." Part of what makes this game awesome and horrible at the same time. Haaaaaalp my head's on fire |

I've had a 47 hour long eve session, downtimes in between ofc. It's not as productive, but then again all I was doing were incursions. No one gets mad nor notices that you are a serious wreck so long as you service broadcasts for cap and shields. This is as nice as I get.
