Question: How many computers are in your house and how many hours do you sleep on
an average night?

I'm investigating a relationship between two quantitative things.

>> No.1586294

2 computers
10 hours

>> No.1586296

Computers: 2

Sleep: 7 hours.

You better be actually collecting this data, otherwise I wasted my time.

Ah who care I would have wasted it anyway.

>> No.1586297

Right now? Like 12 hours a night, except that I sleep from about 8am until 8pm. Really fucked up sleep schedule.

And...one family computer, my laptop, and my dad's work laptop.

I sleep irregularly, sometimes 2hrs every day, sometimes I'll sleep up to 36hrs because I hadn't sleep sense goodness knows when.

7 computers, only two are mine though, I try to sleep as long as possible, 10-12 hours usually

>> No.1586310

Only two that I actually use: One desktop and one laptop. But probably like 6 or 7 in varying states of disassembly, spare parts lying around all over the place. A motherboard here. An HSF there. An AGP video card there.

>> No.1586332

Just out of interest, do any of you think there would be a relationship (if any) between this data?

I personally have 2 computers in my household and sleep 6 - 6.5 hours average.

I don't have an opinion at the moment, just please let me know what you all think.

Nothing you could prove with so little data. After all, people on 4chan are not representative for any social group or nation.

are we counting the fancy cell phones too?

most of em are better than my computer these days.

>> No.1586362

Currently?

3 Towers, 2 Laptops.

Of those, One laptop is through my father's job, which he uses for work, the other is for my mother, who mainly uses it to study to advance her career, one tower my sister mainly uses, and this is mainly what I use. The third tower is extremely rarely used. None are very new, (all have only a single processor) and they are all Dell's, so they aren't anything special.

I sleep, on average, 7 hours a night, but it fluctuates between as little as 3-4 and 10-12.

>> No.1586365

Do you personally class it as a computer?

But it could be assumed that a geographic assortment would be in place.

This. Unless you're looking for a sample of /sci/ducks who troll dickswinging computer threads, you're not guaranteed a homogeneous sample source.

>>1586350
People on 4chan are representative of people that browse 4chan. And, with the timing of this, you're more likely to get the ones with weird sleep schedules. (its nearly 2:30 am here).

So you are polling /sci/ browsers with deviant sleep schedules. (on average)

This would mean this data would be representative of English speaking people, accessing the Internet at a specific time and are European as a generalisation. But this won't always be true. The social group is going to be considered a mixed bag.

*6 others are standing around for experimenting
*2 laptops

>> No.1586446

Why would there even *be* a correlation between the number of (working) computers and the number of hours someone sleeps. What about all the NEETs that do nothing but sleep half the day. And the others who actually have obligations and sleep (on average) 6-8 hours a night whether they have a computer or not.

And while I'm at it, shouldn't cell phones also count? And what about modern game consoles? I know you can all agree a PS3 and Xbox 360 are basically computers.

To answer the question:

7 computers
About 9-10 hours of sleep.

>> No.1586449

>>1586425
Routine use I suppose.

My expectations were that the possession of numerous computers would mean you have less sleep on average.

>> No.1586455

5 computers
23809.5238 microfortnights

>> No.1586466

>>1586446

If there is no correlation between the data it shows human independence from computers. Just as a general thing.

It means regardless if someone has numerous computers, and can always access them (assumed), this doesn't interfere with sleep patterns. People with less computers might not need as many hours sleep because they have less dependence on computers.

I usually try to be in bed around ~8 hours a night, but I often toss and turn a lot and have difficulty actually getting that many hours of real sleep. I probably get actually about 4-6 hours per night.

>> No.1586501

OTOH if you are doing work that requires computers, or have to wait on them to process shit, having 2 or 3 at your desk might make things faster and let you have more free time during which to sleep

It's not that hard. The most important part is to learn to do reality checks.

I try breathing through my plugged nose every time I see something out of the oridinary. When sleeping you will be able to breath that way.

Why are you assuming some sort of connection OP?

Because personally i'v found that without things like computers or tvs, i have a much more regular sleep schedule. Mostly because if i have a computer, i'll likely sit behind that for long periods of time, and even lose track of it.
