Sleepyhead

I knew I had a really long day today: a 2-3 hour meeting, 7 short presentations with travel time in between most of them this was about 12 hours and then I’m on call for the shelter that I volunteer at for another 12 hours (until 8 am). I’ve been having problems sleeping lately, so I went to bed early and took a sleeping pill to ensure some sleep, Ambien is my preference (not much side effect).

A new sleep record!

So I slept great last night. Lately, a good night’s sleep has been five or six hours, I haven’t even been able to sleep on my days off lately. I’m thinking I got around eleven hours sleep so I’m feeling pretty good today. I actually woke up in a panic around seven that the alarm didn’t go off and I was late for work. But once I realized that wasn’t the case today I was able to get back to sleep for another five hours!!! :)

That’s 16 hours total!

And sunlight can suppress it then (according to this) we should just “sit in the dark picking our noses”.

Saw this in a magazine and found it on my first google attempt (“children eat boogers to increase immunity”).

The only concern is that too much Mucophagy may lead to Rhinotillectomania.

Hey! Be careful with that nail gun.
