What a week it has been. Tiring as it may seem, how do we actually make full use of a day's worth of time? Lately, I've been going beyond that threshold and trying to reach a potential 48 hours a day kind of life. There comes a peak moment in your 24 hours that you tell yourself, should it be a routine? Should I make it a point to sleep at 10pm, even if I'm not ready to hit the sacks? Parents have been grooming that idea in our minds since young that we must have enough sleep.

Somehow, sleep to me, is or has become a secondary issue unless there is really a need to shut down for awhile. If you ever notice, there is a slack period just before and after the sleeping period. Say, many would relax an hour or 2 before sleeping and idle around an hour or so after they have awaken. So if you were to calculate the amount of slack time, it would come up to 4 hours if a person sleeps. I mean its a general idea but somehow I've been feeling it these days. By the time, i really settle down, I would have realized that time had passed me by 2 hours.

To make matters worse, for lazy people like myself, sleep doesn't come as an ON and OFF switch. I tend to leave the ON button even when i'm awake after I've awaken. And I would realize that I would continuously feel sleepy or even feel the temptation to sleep even more than I should.

Lately, the sleep deprivation has been caused by the alarming incidence of meeting timely deadlines. I kind of underestimated my concentration level, but i guess it is picking up the pace by the days now. Like they say, the relax mode is hard to deactivate when it has been activated for such a long period of time. It is the momentum that one needs to kick start the engine. I guess the maximum i went on this roadrage, was about 20 over hours without sleep and just purely focusing on getting the job done.
