I just started working a 3rd shift job a little over a month ago. It's tough getting used to. When you're used to getting out and bike riding or hiking for miles during the day then all of a sudden you have to dedicate the whole nite through to workin with syringes and old womens and clean rooms and things.
When will we start using more than 10% of the brains so we dont have to sleep so much? Ideally I'd like to stay akake every day all hours. maybe sleep one day a week. thatd be gnarly right?

Urgh...gnarly?
Can you get student loans and go to school or something...that might be better than your three shit jobs - i don't know how people can say they don't like sleep. It fucking rocks and I'm not sure how old you are because when I was 18 I didn't think I needed it either, but now I relish it like nothing else well except for maybe a couple of things but nevermind...i used to work with a young aussie guy who said he hated sleep too, but he also became a vegan to 'counteract' his hard drug use, so I call his credibility into question.

wow. an unattributed 'quote' from an unlisted source, (probably from wikipedia) that makes unverified, vague claims about nothing in particular. outstanding. ok everyone can go home, bubba just won the internet.
i retract my earlier comment for fear of being remotely on the same side of the point as bubba. id rather be 'wrong' than retarded.

"Take the simple act of pouring coffee in the morning: In walking toward the coffeepot, reaching for it, pouring the brew into the mug, even leaving extra room for cream, the occipital and parietal lobes, motor sensory and sensory motor cortices, basal ganglia, cerebellum and frontal lobes all activate. A lightning storm of neuronal activity occurs almost across the entire brain in the time span of a few seconds."

Shit, even Iddqd can do that. . .
"What is correct, however, is that at certain moments in anyone's life, such as when we are simply at rest and thinking, we may be using only 10 percent of our brains."

Imagine that. . .

"It's called the Uberman Sleep Schedule, and besides having a totally badass name, it's a way to get the maximum amount of essential sleep for your body without wasting hours of precious time you could be using to work or drink or farm for World of Warcraft gold. The schedule consists of taking six, 20-30 minute power naps, every four hours during the day. Of course, this new sleep pattern blows donkey-dick to get used to, but it's a price you have to pay to basically extend your waking life by several years.
The best way to start it off is to just jump right in. Get to sleep at 8pm, set your alarm for 8:30. Get up, play some Call of Duty, sleep again at 12, alarm at 12:30, and so on. After three or four days of this you will start to get high as fuck because of sleep deprivation, and might just want to kill yourself, but don't do it! That would be absolutely counter-productive.
By day 10 or so, your brain will say, "Fuck! FINE, we'll do it your way," and will adapt to your new superhuman sleep schedule.
When you sleep normally, your body gets only about an hour and a half of REM sleep, the kind of sleep that is thought to be the most important to keeping your brain sharp. While other stages of sleep help your body to heal and grow, the REM sleep is what makes you feel rested.
The first few days of adjusting are tough because your body isn't getting ANY of this REM sleep, and your brain hates you for it. After the third day, or so, your brain figures out that you mean business, and every time you lay down for one of these naps, dives directly into REM sleep in an attempt to compensate for the deprivation. Do some quick math and that's two full hours of REM sleep, while those who are sleeping normally are only getting an hour and a half.
Before you know it, while the rest of the world snores away, you'll be up and drawing dicks on their faces."

100% of the human brain is used in either voluntary or involuntary processes.
The people that believe the 10% thing are retards.
Ergo, you are a retard.
==========
All of the brain isn't used at all times. Just like a computer, if you use all your memory at once, you can't learn anything new.
Oh wait... this is Uber.

Neurologists and scientists have PROVEN otherwise, you fucking retard.
Try a little investigation into which you speak before you open your inbred mouth.

while bubba is completely retarded and automatically wrong about anything he might have to say about anything, there is nothing 100% proven about the brain. im sure they can point to electrical activity in the brain, and draw conclusions about the activity going on, but really, its hardly an exact science, and not particularly conclusive enough to remotely be 100% about any part of it.
though i would be interested in the source also. who knows, maybe theyve got better stuff now than the last i saw which was admittedly a few years ago.

Maybe YOU only use 10%, but even that looks like a stretch for you.

My friend Brian does all-nighters working sometimes. He doesn't use recreational chemistry in any form but he says by the evening of the second day he's walking around feeling like he's high on something. He's a pretty funny guy normally but when he's sleep-deprived he gets really gets funny. I mean it's like his improv and wit functions kick into overdrive.
Maybe you can do an experiment and try posting something after being awake for two or three days. Perhaps it'd be funny. Stranger things have happened.
