Sorry guys; I’ve started and killed a few different draft posts, like ugly Play-Doh monsters you smash back into the container. Things got unexpectedly crazy and I haven’t been able to sit down and write anything. Barring this, of course.
I slept through two alarms yesterday, meant to wake me up early so I could write. What’s weird is that I don’t even remember doing it. Does that ever happen to you? You wake up late, only to scratch your head and wonder how it happened?
I think sleep-stress situations are made even more difficult than normal when you haven’t slept enough. Just like life-stress situations become so much bigger when you haven’t been praying enough.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking when I sat down to bang this out: every day situations become a lot harder when we haven’t prayed enough. Small disagreements become big fights. Small misunderstandings become huge insults. Small pains become large wounds. Small illnesses become show-stopping.
So pray more than you think you need to. Sleep more than you think you need to, if that’s possible.
Have you ever done anything weird on too little sleep?
I kicked my wife wife in the face because of a nighmare. I thought I was fighting a professional wrestler in a death match.
Hah! You must have exciting dreams :)
Yeah, I’ve slept through many alarms before.. only to immediately jump out of bed to frantically get ready for work. That is a sure-fire way to keep me stressed all day long.
Something weird? Apparently I’m a talker in my sleep. And one day, I woke up with my head on the floor, and my feet in the bed… not sure how that worked, but it was definitely on high on the weird scale.
My wife talks in her sleep sometimes, but I don’t think I do. Do I @freddieisnice?!
I’ve woken up leaning on my bed before, feet on the floor. very weird…
Ha! No, I dont think so, but sometimes you answer me when I dont realize you fell asleep, thats always funny.
I once had to drive a long way on very little sleep. Not cool. lanes look like rubber bands that move. Not recommended.
Oh man, I’ve definitely been there. I used to drive back and forth from Chicago to Champaign every week, and there were many times I’d have to nap in a rest area.
Did you say drive back and forth from Chicago while drinking champagne? No, No, my friend, that’s not what I meant! LOL!
I used to sleep in/through Psych class in college and once found myself waking in a Sociology class 2 hours after mine had ended. There was a pool of spit on the desk – humbling. I got up and walked out right in the middle of some prof. lecturing to many snickers and laughs.
I slept through one too many of my History of Economics classes in college. May be just me, but hearing about the discount rate in the 1930s had me counting sheep every single time… :)
Haha…I love that stuff :)
I had a prof who’d wake students up by dropping a book on their desk, next to their head.
You had him too!?
I have jumped out of bed and rushed to get ready because I slept through my alarm…only after completing all of my morning ritual did I realize it was Saturday and I could have slept another 3 hours.
Lol, I’ve made it all the way to work before :)
Oh, the things I’ve done when I was so tired.
I won’t describe the things that look like toothpaste until they go on the brush and into your mouth. ;)
Minty fresh Preparation H!
Woke up the other night at 5 or 5:30 with my fist flying into my alarm clock – which, in turn, flew into the bowling pin on my night stand… My roommate must love me =P
Forgot to mention that my alarm wasn’t even set to go off for another hour or so.
Preemptive strike. I like that.
Man I really like your blog layout! and yes I have done some stupid things on no sleep!!! sometimes in the Army I have gone on a good irish cussing rage! not proud of that, but it is true.
The other day I slept for 3 hours and wanted to kill someone all day. Then when I came home, I fell asleep right away, and Crystal said I woke up like 4 times and yelled at her!!! but she knew I was sleep talking, so she told me the next day and we had a good laugh. I have a great wife :)
Haha yeah a good wife understands sleep talking.
I get delirious on too little sleep but I don’t think I’ve ever done anything crazy.
I woke up once to my phone ringing only to discover that both of my arms were asleep. The phone went unanswered.

You better get enough sleep. I don’t want your eye to start twitching.
As long as I don’t have to give up my grapefruit.
