Early Morning.

[swestrup]

Despite my occasional moaning in my LJ, I don't actually dislike getting up in the morning. Its the getting-up-after-too-little-sleep that I despise. Today is the third day in a row that I'm having to get by on 6 hours sleep. I know some folks on my f-list do that all the time, but I've never been able to cope very well with that, and despite what I've read about older people needing less sleep, I've found that I'm far less able to function on reduced sleep now than I was 20 years ago.

But, today is another day in which stuff needs to get done early so I am up and drinking caffeinated coffee. (The no-coffee shtick officially ended two days ago with the first day I needed to be able to think on only 6 hours sleep). Hopefully the decisions required of me today will be of a kind that I will have sufficient brains to handle.

Once upon a time, I could go all week on 5 or 6 hours sleep and then catch up by sleeping for 14 hours on the weekend. That doesn't work for me any more :-(.

Now, if I try that, I just end up with a massive migraine on the weekend, and I feel tired for the entire next week, even if I get regular amounts of sleep.
