Sleep Deprivation

The lack of sleep is something I have NEVER dealt with very well.
Sleep deprivation has been a vile nemesis since I was young. Perhaps my mother had it too easy, or she was doping my milk, but I was a child who got tired and went to bed. Very rarely, did I stay up and fight bedtime. If I did then it was a good indication that something was wrong. Of course, my parents missed that cue, but in the grand scheme of things, I turned out fine.

Well I am now very sleep deprived and suffering for it. People joke about falling asleep at their desk. Now it has happened when I was working 3rd shift, but it has never really happened here, I fell asleep at my desk.
There have been times where I have been in that mind neutral state and drifted to a “different level of conciousness,” but this was full on asleep. I woke when I rolled a little and my head hit the cube wall.

Not Good!

I do really well on 8 hours of sleep a night, but I have been getting 6. I can certainly make do on 6, especially for a night or two. This all week crap hit me.

I failed to bring coffee this morning – HUGE mistake.
I have been working on very dull projects – VERY BIG mistake
I passed on other sources of caffeine – Last nail in the coffin.

Live and Learn – Must remember to get Mt. Dew before I drive home. Thank God its only 7 hours today.
