Wide Awake Wednesday

Today I am going to write just a little about a topic that I feel like I know really well... sleep deprivation.  For reasons that really aren't valid at all, last night I didn't sleep, and I've currently been up for approximately 40 or so hours.  And so, because I have been very sleep deprived, I was curious and looked up the 10 most common symptoms of sleep deprivation and now I will proceed to explain how I have suffered from each one of those, in at least one instance in the past 40 hours.

10. Inability to handle stress - today I needed to turn in a paper at the beginning of class, and if we were late to class we would only get like 50% on the essay. So basically, right before I had to turn it in I got stuck behind a giant mob of super slow walkers on campus, which may have caused some pedestrian road rage. I'm pretty sure I ghosted like 10 people on the way to that class.

9.  Poor memory - how long it's taking me to write this blog post. I'm sitting here struggling to remember what I did today.

8. Inability to concentrate - how many times have I checked facebook while writing this post? If you paid attention while reading number 9 you'd realize I have no clue.

7. Increased appetite - last night during the all nighter I ate a whole Costco bag of wheat thins and drank like 6 mountain dews. Don't judge, they go surprisingly well together

6. Vision problems - as if I didnt have enough already. If you haven't heard me complain about how my eyeballs hurt within the last 20 hours you need to pull the plugs ot of your ears cause I think everybody else in liberty has.

5. Poor decision making - lets be honest, I'm writing a blog when I haven't slept in 40 hours, you think the decision making is all there?

4. Diminished motor skills - remember when I said that I like ghosted 10 people on campus today? Yeah, doesn't mean they didn't notice. Also I'm pretty sure my face was covered in marinara sauce from lunch today, and believe me, that wasn't on purpose.

3. Relationship problems - well, I'm pretty pissed at myself for staying up this much... that count?

2. Medical problems - lets be honest, I'm a blind, out of shape asthmatic... isn't that all just one big mess?

1. Mood swings - Bah! I give up! This is too hard! Why do I write on such a pointless blog anyways...

I'm so sorry blog, that was rash, can you ever forgive me? I love you so much!

Anyways, I hope it was good for a laugh.
Love ya liberty, I'm going to bed
