[SOC]

It is Saturday morning as I write this. I fell asleep early last night and was dead to the world. The Sleep Demons had beaten me. But I was awake again at 2 am. I think I got 5 hours of sleep.

I hate having to sleep. This is a common refrain here at the C-blog as well as in person. But sleep is necessary. I wonder what life would be like if we didn't have to sleep. I have imagined a superhero I call Energy Man who has no super abilities whatsoever except one--he never has to sleep. With that advantage, he is able to outwork his enemies. Yes, it is a really dumb idea. It is more for my amusement than anyone else's.

This is wish fulfillment on my part. I accept that I am stuck with a 19 to 20 hour day. The cost is that I doze off at weird times and in strange places. I am chronically sleep deprived, and when I do get adequate rest, it is an amazing sensation. I can think and function again.
