My Kingdom for Some Sleep
I think the proper word to describe my current state is exhaustion. It's not that I've necessarily been working my ass off or anything--it's just that I've gotten about six hours of sleep, max, over the last four days, and I'm about to go into day five. It does tend to...wear on you.
For most of today, I've felt like a ship running with a reactor problem, to use a sci-fi analogy. Everything's just going into keeping me operating, and...emotional shields, rational thought, general well-being...it kinda goes into the tank. Not like it's not my own fault--I seem to keep finding excuses to stay up late, whether it be to talk to Len, to watch more B5, or simply to goof off. Still...I feel like I'm falling apart.
Tomorrow's gonna be rough. 8 hour day, starting at 8am, which means even less sleep--I'll be lucky if I get seven hours. On top of that, something concerning a very...unprofessional...superior is distracting me, bothering me. I might actually end up going to a manager about it, it's just bugging me that much. I dunno. This really isn't the time to try to analyze stuff--my brain's just not working. Maybe I'll get some sleep tomorrow night, think about it, and write more. Later!

Well, excuse me for not--what the hell? Um....Len, someone? Help? I think I've been attacked by the Chrisinsanity. Cool.
Well, I do have some good news! I managed to get more sleep. Bad news, it's cause I got sick, and had to call in to work.
I've been through the ringer on sleep deprivation before--in fact I did it again recently. Part of fighting it is finding sleep on your own terms.
Don't forget, studies say taking a 20 minute nap during the day will leave you reenergized and reinvigorated for the remainder of the day.
I am never using the Rocky method. That's like inviting mental breakdown and psychosis, at least with me. ...of course, some people would say I'm already there, but...
As for the 20 minute nap thing, it's not too bad of an idea--except for the fact that I'm absolute hell to live with for at least thirty minutes afterwards, 'cause I have to wake up. Still...I probably should.
