Question

Hi people, I'm wondering why most of the developers or programmers like to be indoor, in a special room, and mostly don't really sleep as recommended?
I just realized that to really be good and discover a lot things, I had to get used to those habits...
finally, is that bad thing or good thing?

Answer 1

ya come and explore and try to work for developing its good thing

Answer 2

I agree with the sleeping statement as it has been true for me. I've never had a special room. I love being outside with or without programming. I sit on my porch with the mountains in front of me coding as long as the weather agrees.

Answer 3

I worked 36 hour days with 4 hours of sleep between to carry my project single handed to our deadline for 2 months. It earned me a huge bonus and a month comp-time. I've gotten customer support calls at midnight and spent the rest of the night fixing stuff. Depending on the job it goes with the territory. My health suffered for it. Lack of sleep is the cause of most of my health issues. But, at the time, I didn't have a problem doing it.

Answer 4

Well its all personal preference...I prefer having healthy sleep while studying as it helps with retaining what you learn.
However I'm an indoor person. I'm guessing the general reason people think programmers are indoorsy types is because there are probably more introvert than extrovert programmers.

The lack of sleep comes into play when you just have that one bug that's annoying you or a deadline to meet.

Funny enough coding with a lack of sleep probably causes more bugs and headache.

Lastly its not a bad thing as long as you get some daily movement and relax your eyes from time to time.

I agree with you, but did it never happen to you that you're working on a project and if you don't get what you want, you don't stop?

I will try it

Answer 12

Usually physicians recommend 8 hours of sleep for adults. Not that with 5 hours you wouldn't be able to get up every morning, but it may cause you some problems in the long run.
If you're in university 10hrs a day, you're already studying 10hrs a day. Maybe 3 hrs of coding and 3 hrs of studying, idk.

Answer 13

Answering to my own question, I came out with this: 1day=24hours, so I divided it as follows;

University= 10hours
Studying=4hours
Coding=4hours
Sleeping=5hours
Relaxing=1hours

So, is he good the way I divided it, or not good,
generally, I'm not a outgoing person, it happens that I spend my weekend indoors without even putting my foot outside my place.

what do you guys think about this ☝?
