1. Depends on what's interfering with sleep and also on the psycho-bitch tendency rating
of the person when well-rested

2. Don't try to put it to the test, HG.
I just can't picture you as a psycho bitch. B-)

12. Thank you for spelling that out for me
Sounds about like my schedule. Three days ago a smoke alarm woke us up in the wee hours. The last two days hubby has had a hacking cough. I think I'm headed for a trippy day tomorrow... if not worse. :-(

16. Thanks, Peggy
Don't think it's going to work out that way. I would take some kind of medicine to help me sleep, but I want to be alert in case my husband gets worse. I'm paranoid that way.

I know how long one can go on 4 hours of slept per night.
Try to take a nap at least.

21. Sleep deprivation does very odd things
The oddest summer of my life was spent with a bunch of murrelet researchers.

We all had to get up at 3, and we got off work at noon.

The social conventions were... off kilter.

23. How long has it been for you?
I used to work night shift, never got enough sleep, fell asleep while in my car, fortunately at a red light, not while actually moving.
I never did well on little sleep, don't think it is any advantage to be able to do so - you pay for it one way or another.

27. It's been awhile
I haven't slept an entire 8 hour stretch since last week sometime. Yeah, years of night shift can mess a person up.

25. What if you already were one, even before losing a good night's sleep?
:P

just kidding. It is probably different for every person.

30. I was diagnosed with that once
Now that I have issues with my bones, which can be proven with an MRI, they say I don't. Doctors... don't get me started while I'm tired. grrr
