After the Blitz
Being sleepy all day is a pain in the patootie. The entire day is spent calculating places and times where you can close your eyes “just for a minute.” Yeah, right.
It’s almost worse now that I’m a stay at home mom. There’s nothing really stopping me from napping. It is very easy for me to get my days and nights mixed up. Unlike Zelda in the strip, I force myself to stay awake…at least until the kids go to bed.

*smuggles some coffee to Witchy*
Got a similiar problem on longer vacations, need after that some days to readjust. ^^;;
MsDarkstar: I’ve been known to work on the comic or the website in the wee hours. Hey, if you play WoW maybe we could schedule our insomnia so we could play together! *grin*
Cemalidor: *Witch accepts brew* I know what you mean. We often joke that we need a vacation to recover from our vacation.
Just noticed your daily mini sketch, you are a true artist. I envy your talent. I don’t play any type of games I am so afraid I would do exactly what you are doing, get so into it and lose track of time, then never be able to catch up on my sleep. I drink coffee but have been known to fall asleep with my second cup in my hand. Hope it helps you stay awake better than me!
Thanks, Patti! I’ve misplaced the little sketchbook that I keep the minisketches in, but when I find it, I’m putting it here on my desk. I really enjoyed doing those!
(Daily mini sketch slideshow is located in the sidebar, just scroll down a bit. You can click the slideshow to see the images bigger on photobucket.com.)
I only get insomnia about once every other month, if that much.
Insomnia and I know each other quite well. I tend to be like one of the MiB: I tend to have a 28 hr day instead of a 24 hr day. That means eventually my hours get reversed and I become nocturnal for a while.
Lately, I seem to be on a long sleep cycle, though…No matter how much sleep I get, I feel like I need more.
I strongly suspect that like every other problem I have with my bod, it will right itself if I get more exercise. HAHAHA
I used to shift from 3rd shift to 1st in just one weekend by doing what you did. I called it jam shifting because it jammed me into the new sleep pattern.
Antonious: That’s simply brilliant. It’s like turning the evil powers of video game/book obsession into a force for good! Hahaha
That would suck, getting your days mixed with nights.
You could always apply at Walmart for the night crew.
Nycteris: <3 I'm definitely doing more of those.
FrankZieglar: Me too! But I have lots of time off now…if it weren't for getting the family off on the morning, I would never be on any kind of schedule.
Seshiru: HAHAH, I suppose I could. But then, of course, I'd stay up all DAY and get my days and nights mixed up and be in the same boat. *grin*
I’ve not had a job (but am desperately hunting) in almost 4 months. My days and nights are totally out of whack. But I DO get things done when I’m up to 4AM (besides just a game or two(hundred) of Bejeweled Blitz)
