#17: An Obsession

Yea, I’m just gonna admit it upfront: I have an obsession. With sleep. That’s why I’m  posting about it again.

I mean, I guess I have a love/hate relationship with sleep. You see,  I love sleep because I am seriously crazy without it. If I didn’t get at least 6 hours of sleep every night I would have no friends. (I think sleep and friendliness are positively correlated in my world.) But I also think sleeping is such a waste of time. I mean if there was a vaccination against sleep I would be the first to get it even though I hate shots.

So I know you are saying that there is a vaccination against sleep. Caffeine!!! And it comes in this magical powder called coffee which doesn’t even require a needle.

But yea…they kind of based this character on me. Except for I drink my caffeine, (not apply it topically) and I am NOT a scientist.

Anyways, so enough about me…(sort of)…did you know that you can actually become intoxicated from having too much caffeine?

Oh my dear fellow Americans, why must we always overdo things to the point where they become dangerous to our health?

Okay, so this post wasn’t really about sleep. But it kind of was. I mean in the end all things lead back to it. Back to sleeping I mean. Or caffeine. Or both.

Smile!!!
