    Well, I finally did it - got a full 8 hours last night. And this morning I feel... tired. So what the hell is up with that?

    Maybe I should train myself to only require a few hours per night, Batman style. Good morning.

    Chances are you slept too long.

    Sleep divides into few different stages repeating over and over again in cycles, with each cycle lasting 1,5 hours on average. You end up tired if you wake up mid-cycle and rested if you wake up after a number of full cycles.

    That being said, you'd feel more rested after 5 x 1,5 = 7,5 hours of sleep than the 8 hour option.

    Also, good afternoon.

    It's not actually as simple as that, because successive cycles get shorter, so by the 8th hour you're not really having the full cycle at all, but kind of flitting in and out of REM sleep. Also, the base length of a cycle varies between people, so 7.5 hours might be good for you, but someone else would find that 7 hours is a better fit for their 84-minute cycle. Anyway, I'm sure you don't need me to tell you all this. Good morning.

    No matter how much or how little I sleep, I always have to get up at the wrong end of the circadian rhythm, depriving me of a good morning.

    Sleep? What is sleep? It is 3 hrs past dawn here and I have yet to sleep. Good Morning! The birds are pecking at my roof for some reason.

    Did you know there is no good morning nor good afternoon around here?

    We have good evening, goodnight and good day, which is appropriate in both the morning and the afternoon. Not to be confused with (have a) nice day, which is an expression reserved for parting rather than meeting.

    Good day and (have a) nice day!

    Since you live in Poland we kind of assumed as much. Zing!

    Good morning.

    As I slept, every 85 minutes, for 25 minutes at a stretch, I had an erection. It was a Good Morning.

    I find that erections are only really fun if you've got somewhere to put them. Good morning.

    I also agree. This consensus leads me to believe it's a Good Afternoon.

    No, I'm pretty sure it's the morning. Good morning.

    You're doing that on purpose just to be irritating, aren't you. Good morning.

    Do you ever get the feeling you're just talking to yourself? Good morning, me.
