Night 2

Well, it's 3:15 a.m. I need to face the facts: I am a poor sleeper. Last night, I was doing the exercise for Night 2 (read previous message for Night 1 exercise). It was about unwanted sleeplessness during the last 24 hours. Well, it just happened that I had slept quite well the night before and decided against taking daytime naps during my too-short holiday. So... I fared quite well. I guess I will make up for it today.
I tend to microsleep at the wheel -- a definite no-no. I am fortunate because I carpool and my carpool buddy is very flexible. She will gladly drive when asked and I can nap (which I do) to recover. In the book, it says to consider microsleeping like an emergency the same way you would of throwing up. A bit graphic, but you get the idea.They said: Consider stopping whatever you are doing as soon as you possibly can and rest. I am pretty good at doing that -- though I need to consider better sleep habits to get rid of this annoying trait when awake.
