it's all relative.

Have you ever been awake for 88 hours? That is nearly 4 days. After that long, you start to experience slowed speech and flattened emotional responses, as in not giving a shit, impaired memory and an inability to be novel or multitask. Even walking around is daunting. As you get to the point of falling asleep, you will fall into micro sleeps that cause lapses in attention, like randomly nod off while doing an activity like driving or reading and then finally experience hypnagogic hallucinations, the beginning of REM sleep
Everything feels like a dream. The air is literally hazy, and the sun is so incredibly bright it hurts. You hear everything and nothing at all.
I am so tired.
I cannot remember the last time I fell asleep before 3am save for alcohol induced comas.
There is this little piece of time, between 6am and 10am, when the sky turns from navy blue onward, that has become my salvation. Finally my brain dies and I am motionless entirely. A conflicting schedule, however, infringes upon this grace period and less then once a week this happens.
I think I should invest in a heavy nightcap.
Like 9000 proof whiskey.
