I was reading an article about sleep, or lack thereof, and I thought that this might be interesting to many people who, like me, experience periods where 8 hours of sleep is a luxury we simply can’t afford.

“In terms of error rate, 18 hours of no sleep, which many of us regularly do, is equivalent to a blood alcohol level of about .05,” said Dr. Ronald Chervin, who is the director of the University of Michigan sleep disorders center. “Twenty-one hours of no sleep is equivalent to a blood alcohol level of .08, which is illegal in many states.”

Let’s see… If I shouldn’t be seen in public after 2 drinks…. So now there are drugs that make us feel less sleepy with mild or no side-effects. Just what I need, another reason to stay awake. I think I’d rather go to Starbucks and have fun with the free sampling.
