Sleepy or not?

[spirilis]

I found an interesting link from a page about sleep cycles--

BBC - Science & Nature - Human Body and Mind - Sheep Dash!

The "Sheep Dash Test"
This little applet will time your responses (you have to click a "tranquilizer" button every time you see a sheep dash out into the yard) and determine roughly how sleepy you are.

It's 12:01AM here, I'm totally ready for bed, and I got the "Bobbin' Bobcat" rating.

The original link I was viewing, for anyone who's interested, is this: Sleeping Well: Understanding Sleep Needs, Cycles and Stages

I love the BBC site! I got bobbing bobcat... I never pay attention to when I'm tired though when there's other things to be done...the internet kills me there's too much stuff on it

It's late (or actually early in the morning) and I got bobbing bobcat. Excited to see if I can improve it after sleep.

Rocketing Rabbit... you'd have to be insane to get cheetah consistently.

I really don't think sleepiness will determine how you do on this test so much as just basic reflexes. The more you do it the better you'll get... I don't think it'd matter if I was wide awake or ready to sleep.

first bobbing bobcat 0.224

I just wanna say that I just pulled off my first successful allnighter, a triumph that eluded me throughout college. Not only did I spend the last 14 hours straight typing up med school shit, I also only got 3 hrs. of sleep the night before. I can't type grammatically correct sentences. I wonder what I wrote. I'm withering away at work. Oh my...

Dang, you're hardcore Get some sleep!!

Not only am I hardcore, but I'm dorky as well. I feel refreshed and energized. Was it coffee? crack? No, I got high training a colleague to grade prostate tumors. There have been days were I've done nothing but look through a microscope and grade tumor slide after tumor slide. I friggin' get off on it. It's like sweet nectar to my Ne. God, I'm being dramatic. Sorry, I'm gonna go eat a sandwich.

By the way, my boss wants to meet with me to discuss the next step for my laaammmmme frozen slide project. I mean... what the hell ever happened to giving me a day to prepare? I'm practically intoxicated. I'm not inhibiting my urge to ramble. There is no censorship in this post. BAhhhhhh. Yeah, I'll be sleeping well tonight.

Either that, or you'll have kentucky fried prostate tumors on the brain all night long. Yikes!

Woohoo! I got 1 sheep at 0.0000 seconds! However, I totally jumped the gun and got lucky...

I'm consistently a bobbing bobcat. The sheep that run across the very bottom are cheaters IMO because you can't really even see them until they get out of the shrubbery that's at the bottom of the screen...and by that point you're already at .2 seconds.
