A bubble from the bottom of the pond…

I read somewhere that “ten days without being allowed to sleep would kill most humans (or leave them in a psychotic state)”… which made me wonder: if you maintain a pattern of bad sleep habits for an extended period of time, will you eventually go insane?

This thought just hit me as I went to sip my 2nd cup of coffee, to find I had already finished it a half-hour ago. Perhaps caffeine is the only thing keeping me from insanity. Or you. Or 3/4 of the NYC work force drones. Now that would be something to witness.

I laughed after meeting with an eccentric nutritionist who told me to give up coffee. I think my sense of humor was onto something…

    Not only would the drones of NYC go nuts, but so would the vast majority of college students. And we are “different” already. How scary would that be?

    Stressed out as students may be, it’s much more distributed than being out in the work world. College especially offers a lot of variance… to which I only wish upon my black star that I could go back and enjoy.

    The routine of a full-time job is like a record skipping on Jim Carrey’s ‘most annoying sound’ from Dumb and Dumber.

    Just bloghopping here. I went 5 days once, and I started hallucenating.

    You are so right about the routine of a full-time job! Argh!

    I mean it doesn’t help that I don’t like the movie Dumb and Dumber! lol
