Give me sleep or give me death!

on: May/13/04 and its been viewed 715 times

This week has been a doozy - - and dammit, it’s only Thursday! Let’s see….Sunday night, I didn’t sleep at all and then worked a full 9 hour day on Monday. I slept all Monday night. Tuesday night, I didn’t leep at all and then worked a full 8 hour day on Wednesday. I slept all night last night. I used to be able to do that kind of stuff when I was younger - - but man, it takes its toll, doesn’t it?

I have no good reason for not getting any sleep. I know on Tuesday night - I decided to stay up all night because Chris was leaving on a biz trip Wed. morning and his flight was scheduled at 7am - which means leaving home at 5:30am - which meant waking up at around 4 - 4:30am. I was so worried that we wouldn’t wake up, that I couldn’t sleep. So I stayed up.

I fell asleep last night at 5:30pm and woke up this morning at 5:30am. Damn. You just feel like the world is passing you by when you’re sleeping that much. I figured out that I was up for a full 38 hours before I went back to sleep. Do not try this at home - - this stunt is for professionals only!

I have plenty of graphic and hosting work to weed through - so I think I’m going to start this day early, for work - in hopes that I’ll be done early. How come that never works out the way I plan it to? Here’s hoping!

    It’s 6am on the Left Coast and I am awake.

    Why? Who knows. I do this periodically. Maddening.

    I hope you get some rest too, soon. :)

    Wow…I’ve been wondering what you’ve been up to since you seen a bit scarce when it comes to blurfing. Just make sure you eat, drink and use the bathroom when you need to. Sleep will come whether you want it or not.

    Sleep came pretty hard last night, thankfully. Thanks, Linda - - blurfing to follow throughout the weekend :)

    Sounds like me. I’ve been sleeping 3-4 hours on a good night. Woke up at 3 AM this morning when the TV movie included a loud explosion, wondered where I was, stumbled to the rack (had been on the sofa), and slept 3 more hours. That was a good night!

    :)
