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…
