The Elusions of Sleep.

Gnarf. I'm now awake again. I forced myself to stay awake until around 9:00 pm, and then collapsed into sleep. So, why am I awake now? I dunno. I only had about 5 hours sleep, and I'm still dead tired. I figure I'll give sleep another chance as soon as I've been upright long enough for my sinuses to drain. With the way my sleep has been lately though, I don't know if I'll manage to sleep again tonight. *Le Sigh*

While I was asleep I had a bunch of random and jumbled dreams which are not worth saving for posterity, except to say that some part of my subconcious is more upset about me blowing my diet during the Turkeypalooza than I had realized. It seems to think that this is a bad precedent. Time will tell.

And now, I guess I'm gonna read some LJ and then try and sleep again. Good Night again all!

Late Night Munchies

Went back to bed and my tummy started complaining that I hadn't had supper. So, I got myself some cheese, egg and sausage, and a glass of wine (for medicinal purposes!) and I'm hoping I'll be able to sleep after that.

Wish me luck!

Genetics of Male Homosexuality.

There's now some evidence that the same genes that promote homosexuality in males increases the fertility of their female relatives:

No Sleep For the Sti.

Well, it didn't work. I'm still awake. I figure I'm just going to have to start my day now. The coffee is a brewing and I've fetched the paper.

I'll probably collapse from lack of sleep this afternoon, but for now I have morning comics to read.

Jackets grown from living tissue.

Wired has a report about some scientists who are growing jackets out of human and mouse cells (mostly skin). I expect to hear MUCH more of this in the news, and probably in tones of outrage...

Gonna give that sleep thing another shot...

Tho ya figger if I've been doin it for almost 40 years, I should have it worked out by now. Practice makes perfect and all that. Anyway, no idea if I'll sleep or for how long, but there's only one way to find out. So, I'll see what happens. Goodnight all!
