Eight Hours

[eskemp]

Of sleep.

Last night.

For me.

Oh, sweet sweet bliss. I like that much better than the three hours of the night before.

I don't really know if I could handle three hours. I don't know how some people do it. I'm dreading losing an hour for Daylight Savings coming up.

To be fair, around 8:30 that day Aileen was telling me "You look really tired." Uh, thanks.

[machineiv]

Seriously.

I used to be able to do that when I was a spry young lad, but now there's no way. Philomena and I tried staying up all night once thanks to a super early court appearance in a far away land, but realized that we're not made of the same stuff we used to be. Worst. Plan. Ever.

I remember uninterrupted sleep. (See icon.)

You knew what you were getting into after the first one.

(Of course, the exact same thing is true of me, just substitute "core book" for "baby.")

It's an ageing thing, isn't it? A decade ago, I could have four hours and still be great the next day. Now, if I slip under six hours, I'm useless to man nor beast.
