madbaker | I thought you need *less* sleep as you get older.

Waaaay back in my undergrad days, I can remember plenty of nights where I got four hours of sleep or less.

I'd still wake up around 6 AM, because that's when my body would start regardless of when I got to sleep. I'd be tired, but I could shrug it off and function.

These days? If I get less than six hours' sleep, I'm hosed for more than half the work day.
I mention this because I've been a zombie all freakin' week. I got to bed a bit late Monday (9:30) but all the other nights I've gone to bed on time.

Maybe I should pull a Pete Puma tonight and hit myself over the head repeatedly so I'm passed out all weekend.

Edited to add: And Congress (the opposite of Progress) wants to extend Daylight Savings by four months? So it's even harder for me to catch up on sleep? Bite me.
