The sleep of Ages

[dolari]

After a whole week of sleep deprivation, not being able to sleep till late, waking up much too early for work, falling asleep at work, drinking coffee (BLECH) and Coke (BLOAT) to stay awake, it finally all hit me last night.

After some deliciously filling Thai food, I sat down to watch Gamera vs Guiron and the next thing I knew I was asleep in my chair and it was 3AM. I went back to sleep about 15 minutes later, and woke up at 10:45AM. A grand total of about 13 hours of sleep.

I needed that, I think...but couldn't it have waited till tomorrow? Not that I'm complaining, but I'm late for work AGAIN!

Caffeine suggestion: White tea. It is currently my favorite.

It has more caffeine than black tea, slightly less than coffee, and it has a nice, light flavor. It's best made with water just short of boiling-hot, but if you like a more astringent tea it's fine if the water is at the boiling point.

There's also Green Tea as well. :)

I slept for 14 hours earlier this week, and then the next night was up late playing SL. Sometimes it's hard to find a middle ground.

Green is not particularly high in caffeine, though. It has considerably less than black, though if you don't have a tolerance it can keep you up for a few extra hours.

Ahh yes, the sleep of ages. Distant cousin to Def Leopard's Rock of Ages.
