"Coping with sleep deprivation is a lot like stopping a drinking habit. You are so used to the routine of sleep that you start to think you need it to survive. When you can't do it anymore, first you go through withdrawl, then anger, then frustration, and eventually you [transcend the need]."
That's from Bob W. Link tomorrow.
What does it mean if you're walking from your office to the library and suddenly want to lie down on the ground and go to sleep?
Now I'm going to bed.
Posted by mike at October 27, 2004 10:38 PMdon't you sometimes wish you were 3 again so you could do that? just decide 'nope, not walking anymore. i'm gonna stop now and take a nap RIGHT HERE!'
naps are wasted on young!
Posted by: bobbie at October 28, 2004 09:02 AMwhy is it that the sleep deprived body wants to fall asleep when it's supposed to be awake (on the grass trying to watch the cloud-covered lunar eclipse) but becomes nocturnal during sleep hours (unable to fall off two hours later in bed)?
stop and take a nap on campus next time. or go hide in the woods for a power nap.
Posted by: amt at October 28, 2004 10:03 AMmaybe because:
1 - she was on the phone with joy while on the grass looking at moon - therefore, falling asleep, but
2 - she refused to pick up the phone later when she was in bed - therefore, not falling asleep
lying on the grass and talking to joy were two seperate instances. not answering the phone was a third; i would not have made for good conversation at that point anyway. =)
