I think it is hardly fair that on days when I manage to get six or seven hours of sleep I wake up feeling more beaten up, worked over, and exhausted than on days when I've gotten four or five.
The rest is left as an exercize for the student.

I didn't sleep at all last night, but somehow I'm feeling more productive this morning than usual.

And you look hot.
Further proof that life is not fair. (:

I hate to say this, but... most of the time when I can run on 5 hours better than 7, it's because I'm so sleep deprived that my body doesn't know what's up. 5 hours is the minimum "must have this much" amount, and I'm pretty sure that I always wake up a little at 5 hours. If I get to go back to sleep, then my body gets pissed about not getting to catch up as much as it wanted to. I'd tell you to try sleeping for 9 or 10 hours, but we know how likely *that* is.

Brian had a naval instructor who swore people slept in 90 minutes cycles (give or take 10 minutes) and would feel more tired if they were woken up in the middle of one of their cycles than at the end.

Hrmmm. Then... the obvious solution is to stop getting so much sleep!

I know you're being silly, but... you DO know that sleep dep is a bad, bad thing, right?

Better to try for eight hours and see if that helps. Though, of course, if you don't get home until 10:30 and you get up early for work, 8 hours is hard to cram in there. But there's this weekend coming up, and I think you should sleep for as much of it as possible.

I would know that it was a bad thing if I weren't so sleep deprived.

Oh PS: Yesterday the delivery guy brought a two stage pump to our house for Amanda Robertson. We should find out if she's one of our neighbors.
