Sleep...must have sleep

Do you remember the old Driver's Ed movies (or maybe Mythbusters episode) that showed normally sane adults performing normal day-to-day activities, then taking a drink and doing them again, and so on. The point was to show impressionable young people the dangers of drink.

I've determined a much cheaper, equally effective way of indicating the loss of motor skills. Go without sleep.

The older I get, the less I can do without sleep, and the longer it takes me to get over it. Sunday I had to stay up till midnight-ish for work; not a big deal, and there are times I stay up that late reading. But, Monday I was a little sluggish. Today fine, but a smidge sleepy, but I have to stay up again for work. At this point, it's 1:30 am and counting, but I should be able to stop soon.

However, what I've noticed is that my typing skills are deteriorating with the lateness of the hour. So far, in this single post, I've misspelled:

• sane
• normal
• young
• drink (twice)
• equally
• up
• a (my personal favorite -- anyone can misspell antidisestablishmentarianism, but it takes an artist to misspell a one-letter word)

I'll keep track of further loss of motor skills as the night progrezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
