Sleep, the lack thereof and the excess thereof

So I wanted to write this on the Life Lessons site and I probably still will when it is fully functional but I couldn't wait for the details to fade so I will share it with you, avid readers of everything Tidbits of Tom. I woke up on Sunday and my car was spinning down I 35 South, at which point I thought to myself, "Self, not good." After spinning to face oncoming traffic and hitting the median barrier and perpendiculy crossing three lanes of highway traffic I decided to call a friend to talk to in order to stay awake for the rest of the drive. I had slept approximately 6 hours the night before but had been sleeping badly for several nights previous to the incident. Lack of sleep=excess of sleep.

Here's an idea: Go to bed every night by 10:30pm. That way you wake every morning refreshed and ready to stay awake on the road.

Also, avoid all women.

That is all.

Tom it sounds like you need to sleep more. Getting to bed by 10:30 is a good idea. You could just live the missionary schedule all over again.
Good luck with that
