My lack of sleep

As I'm starting to write this I am thinking to myself why I am writing instead of actually getting some sleep, maybe I should stop and go to sleep here at my desk.....nope, I've gone too far. It's a funny thing when your body has been sleep deprived for so long, at one point you get used to it, but slowly you begin to feel the effects of it. Most people get pissed and have some problems functioning when they only get 6 or so hours of sleep. Me...I am averaging somewhere between 3-4 hours a night, the nights that I actually go to sleep. Generally three or so days a week I don't even go to bed, whether it is because I just can't go to sleep or if I am too paranoid about not waking up for work or school. Anyway, like I said before it starts to get to you if it goes on for too long and I have been in this cycle for approx. 4-5 years now so yeah.....Lets just say that I am feeling the effects full force. Sucks for me, but some of the "incidents" are good for a quick laugh. For example, On Monday I sat through almost an entire Ethics class before finally realizing that I don't have an Ethics class. I even took notes and didn't realize that I was in the wrong classroom. I was curious why the teacher kept looking at me weird...I thought she was crazy :). The thing that finally made me notice that I had been in the wrong class was one of the people who is normally in my class walked by and noticed I was sitting in the room taking notes and I looked over and saw him and after a few seconds of pondering I realized what happened. Oh well, at least I have some notes for when I actually do have an Ethics class. This is just one example of my absent mindedness. There have been others that have happened, but lets just say that, well, I just don't want to mention them, enough said. Actually just now I realized that I should have clocked out of work about an hour ago.....go me. Ok, well I am going to go home now and sleep.....ah who am I kidding, I'll sleep in a few years....

Jason my dear nephew you are playing with fire not getting the sleep you need. Memory short circuits
Not being able to focus on school work and let’s not talk about the sexual problems that lack of slept can cause.
