After a Few Days of Sleep Deprivation, I get a little punch-drunk |
Why would I write two blogs in a row on the topic of sleep? I don't know where to begin. "Dear Harry," I suppose is as good a way as any.
I go to bed around 9:00 and wake up around 5:00 to write these little gems. Only as the week goes on, those numbers get rounder and rounder. By mid-week 5:00 AM has rounded all the way out to 6:00. By Thursday I'm getting a little punch drunk.
My system, or what I laughingly call a "system," is to sleep late Saturday and Sunday with a supplementary nap or two thrown in for good measure. Monday, I'm rarin' to go again, but after a few days of withdrawals from the Sleep Bank, I find I'm overdrawn again. (How's that for a metaphor, eh? And that's when I'm tired.)
I don't have a ready solution for this. The irony is, that as lazy as I am, I'm constantly working. Maybe I'm just too lazy to stop. In any case, please look on with a forgiving and indulgent eye if tomorrow's blog is also about sleep.
