Getting Too Old

Yesterday night I was partially incapacitated due to the fact that I was working on 3 hours of sleep. I had went to bed at 2am and woke up at 5am to finish my assignment which was due yesterday. And I didn’t sleep till 12am this morning. So that would mean that I was for 18 hours, part of which I drove to uni, drove from uni to work, drove from work to home, drove from home to my other work place, drove home from that, drove to IGA from home and then off to Amanda’s house for cell. I can tell you I nearly had a few accidents between all those drives, the most serious one was where I nearly hit a car trying to reverse park. Ironically I find reverse parking much more easier than forward parking but I misjudged the distance due to my sleep induced haziness.

I came home after cell and promptly fell asleep from 1200 hours to 1030 hours today. That was the best 10.5 hours sleep I’ve had in a while. I’ve been working on lack of sleep for the best month or so and its the accumulation of this sleep debt really is bad. I had a course that I had to attend yesterday from 9.30am till 4pm and I had 2 coffees by 11am and I was feeling horribly sick. Just so you know, I’m generally a coffee person, but downing so much caffeine in such a sort period of time really got me really nauseous and I don’t think I’ll be doing that anytime soon. Drinking bottles of cold water and eating some food and having the air conditioning turned right up helped with the sleepiness. Never again shall I binge on caffeine.

Speaking of working, I’m off to get to work now to earn my keep!
