I did laundry and chatted last night, then sat down to read The Elegant Universe around 4:30AM, and fell asleep a little after five. I don't know whether I completely lack the intellectual wherewithal to read an entry-level book on superstring- and M-theory, or whether it's that I'm ill, or just that I was zoned last night. But I read about two pages and found my mind wandering as I was reading. That's not a good sign.

Woke up at 9:30, and I've spent the time since then getting breakfast and mom-wrangling (she has to get up and go to school to finish a project, and she doesn't particularly want to go, and she's been awake as long as I have, but she's been determinedly refusing to get up). I don't feel so well today (surprise!) and I wonder how long I will last on four hours of sleep. My ears are itching and popping and I have a headache. I'd like to do things later today. I hope I can stay awake that long.

*ouch* 4 hours of sleep? What are you doing awake now? I am in pain just reading that one.

mm. well, i slept all day yesterday, from like 130 or so in the afternoon, to a little after 9PM. So the four-or-so hours I slept this morning were more like a nap... and I didn't wake up on purpose, I just happened to wake up. But I usually feel really tired after 3-4 hour naps, and I'm wondering whether or not I'll make it through the rest of the day, especially since I'm going to be home. Pleh. :)

hey, i slept 4 big hours last night as well. i have pretty pronounced insomnia, but have been dealing with it since i was a little kid, so i am somewhat able to function as a zombie.

as for my success story, today i had a genetics test that i *aced*, got 100%!

and i too was doubtful of how well the day would would go.

now i am back at home and the couch is looking really smooshy and inviting....i'm sure i will wind up being sucked into it and napping well into the afternoon.

best of luck in sleep deprivation land.
