Wait in Line for Yet Another

Sleeping is a strange animal.

I got up early again this morning to go eat breakfast and discovered that after giving your body and mind 35 minutes to wake up, you really shouldn't go back to sleep again. I woke up feeling like a rancid pile of poop. That is why I think naps suck. You should only take naps when you absolutely have to and the perfect time to take a nap is 1 and a half to 2 hours. Any more or any less will result in the something akin to the feeling of nausea with a lack of anything to throw up as soon as you arise.

As far as sleeping at night, some people say they only need 5 hours. Some people claim 8 to be the perfect number. I must be doomed because I never get the same amount two nights in a row. One night very well may be 9 hours and the next 7 or 6. It's totally random. Some studies have linked irregular sleep patterns to early death. If such is the case at least I should be able to miss out on the nursing home years.

At this point I'm more or less just rambling but I assure you that this rambling is due, in part, to that stupid nap I took this morning. Thirty thoughts must be circling around my head and the above 2 paragraphs were the only ones that I could successfully link together to make an intelligible post. The moral of the story:
Get up and stay up.

Now to go test out those new vinyl hamsters that came in the other day...
