Friday 5: sleep deprivation

1. When you’re having trouble staying awake, what are some things you do to make sure you don’t drift off to sleep?
Nothing really helps. If it's possible, I just give up and give myself 10 min to sleep: it's enough to get semi-normal again. In extreme situations I slap my face as hard as I can (don't do it where somebody can see you: people do not react well when they see this).
2. What’s most likely to cause you a prolonged period of not enough sleep?
Summer heat.
3. When you’re going through a prolonged period of not enough sleep, what parts of your daily routine are likely to change, and how?
I can't work. Basically I just wasting my time, trying to concentrate, but I am absolutely useless.
4. Who in your life seems regularly to have not enough sleep?
My husband. For no particular reason :)
5. In what ways does your personality change when you go through a prolonged period of not enough sleep?
I am getting reckless and bitchy. A beautiful combination! :^)
