Reasoning

[zengar]

Well, now that I've been active enough to be fully conscious, I realize that I ought to supplement the post I made right after making it through the nightime dead zone. My primary reason for doing this was that my sleep schedule was drifting further and further from the 'normal' day/night cycle. Not a problem for me, but definitely a problem for fitting into a normal workday. I've found that doing this sort of thing is usually the most successful way to correct this, sort of like giving an old TV a whack when it starts losing vertical sync. And I figured that labor day weekend is probably the best time to take care of this before it drifts too far. I didn't really have enough to do for those dismal hours between days though, and kind of dropped into a fog that took a little work to get out of. Now that I've had four hours of having other things to do but read and play video games, I'm back up to speed. I'm not particularly sleep deprived, I just have a hard time taking four hours of minimal stimulation. In college I was good for well over 36 hours and as far as I can tell from what my body is telling me, I still am. Not that I'm going to resist when it tells it's tired a little earlier tonight.
