hmmm...


**********UPDATE!11
I chose sleep, and slept.
Then woke and had coffee.

Today seems like a pretty good day.

1. Sleep. I can't get no!

2. I'll give it a try

but might get coffee if I don't fall asleep right away
it's so tempting when big news is breaking all day and into the night

3. Both. Coffee can help put me to sleep.

Maybe it's my ADD?


On edit: Here's something I found about "coffee naps."

6. I do the half sleep thing...

when napping...Sometimes I can fall asleep immediately but sometimes just a quick resting will work wonders. I do think it clears the brain somehow.

8. it does that to me sometimes too

4. Sleep.

The vast majority of people don't get enough sleep and haven't a clue why that's so bad.

I honestly think that an important reason I'm the healthiest person I know is that most of my life (I'm now 71) I've gotten plenty of sleep. Not always. But mostly.

It is a particular joy to me that I no longer get up to an alarm (save rare occasions) and I get to sleep as long as I want. I rarely am out of bed before 9am, and I don't willingly schedule any appointments before noon. I have a good life.

9. excellent points

5. Coffee is not

a substitute for sleep, but can postpone it for a short while.

7. age old dilemma for me at times...

there are times when I REALLY want to sleep but I have too much to do and my brain won't rest anyway. Sometimes I am able to rest for a few minutes and then have coffee...which can get me through the fog.
