Ok so I have been awake for 21 hours straight (no napping). I am beginning to feel like a cement truck ran me down and ate me for breakfast. So far today I have watched 2 movies, baked pretzels (very delicious), read 2 books (they were short), washed dishes and have gone to work. Working the overnight shift at the hospital isn't too to creep anymore I am kind of getting used to the rhythm and the sounds you here, I know which nurses are moving about when and that helps ease the random adrenaline surges induced by your imagination. So in an effort to enlighten myself further about the effects of sleep deprivation, and the biggest conclusion that I found among the research was that beyond just deterioration in processing of menial tasks and difficulty focusing. That significant lack of sleep can lead to temporary psychosis! That has me freaked out, right now I can still type but I have to correct the spelling every two or three words.
On that note I am going home and getting some sleep, in another 4 hours or so. :)
