Sleep

The past few days I've been going to bed quite late and, of course, getting up early. The result is that I am fuzzy all day long at work and come home and get nothing done that I need to have done because I'm too tired. Last week I was on vacation and I had the luxury of sleeping in every day. I was well rested and felt great. This week I'm back to work and feel like crap.

Studies have been done on sleep deprivation and its effects on the human body. An Australian study I remember reading about years ago tested the effects of sleep deprivation vs alcohol consumption. The study showed that lack of sleep caused greater impairment of cognitive ability and reflexes than alcohol consumption.

So to get to the point I'm going to go to sleep now. Good Night.
