What I’m learning from sleep deprivation, or I hope, what I’ve learned, is that you can perform admirably on strong lack of sleep, for quite some time.
The problem being that you will crash super hard and you won’t know when or how.
And then, when you can’t recover fast enough, you’re a zombie for days. Absolutely brain dead.
I can’t afford that so I had to fight back. Last night was the first normal night in weeks and whew, still tired but already feeling a whole lot better.
