announcing

what shall be hereby known as a sleep binge. i want the world to know...or whatever part of the world reads this blog, that i have today slept from 5pm until 1:40am and will now continue to sleep from approximately 2:00am to, shall we say, 8ish in the am?

why is this interesting? it's not, so much.
but i'm amused, you see, because it's like looking at my life in terms of how many hours i haven't slept on so many other days, and it suddenly explains so much of the past 3-4 weeks...all those days i thought i was close to breaking .... you know, assuming sleeptime is glue for the daytime, i was. i was. nothing like a moment like the one in which you wake up from a nap in the darkness, and you think, "oh, it's probably about 8pm, overslept a bit," and then get up to see the clock is reading 1 in the am to be a little, "well..."
according the past twenty minutes, if my evaluation has any validity to it whatsoever, my immediate state of mental clarity upon waking in comparision to the befuddled mental state in which i taught school today should really be some sort of political treatise. i could be the case study (as we all know the world revolves around me. of course.) that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt ... that being tired of heart translates into being tired of body, and that doing more is sometimes doing less when you're already overspent.
maybe, when i wake up, this will make sense. i'll keep my fingers crossed.
