I don't even live in Seattle, yet I still have sleeping issues, what the hell? I've had serious sleeping issues for the last freaking week, and now I think it's gotten me sick. My cheeks are bright red and I'm feeling slightly feverish. Blech...But seriously, you know how people sometimes complain about being tired and not getting enough rest and bullshit? And how they'll say "I didn't sleep at ALL last night," and then proceed to yawn to prove their point? Well, most likely they got some sleep, even if it was a few hours worth. That's why they feel so tired. Me on the other hand, I was 100% aware of what was going on the entire night, I could give them a long, detailed explanation of what I did over the entire course of the time, and never once did I fall asleep.
At all.
And trust me, you can tell when I haven't slept at all. I seriously look like a freaking crack addict going through withdrawl when I do. That and when my body realizes it's not going to get any sleep, it goes into hyper active mode, where I am literally pacing my room trying to get rid of the pent up energy. That only lasts for nearly an hour or two, and then I fall into auto pilot. This is basicly where if I sit down or lay down for even a minute, even after I've had a cup of coffee and a can of diet soda, I will literally go comatose for about 2-3 hours.
So next time someone you know says they stayed up all night and never slept once, take a good look at their behavior. If they're yawning a lot or their eyelids are droopy, that's probably just not enough sleep. But when someone says they haven't slept at all and they look like their gonna explode from an adrenaline overdose, tell them to go home and sleep, because it's sure as hell not healthy.
