ALL I WANT IS THE BEAN AND SLEEP



The two loves of my life are pitted against one another. Oh dear, sweet, java-jane why must you spurn the soft, round marshmallow of slumber?

I've been drinking more coffee lately than an all-night trucker... Then I get home from my night shift and lie awake, turning my whole life over and over and over and coming to only one conclusion - I need sleep.

I need sleep, too. I know that I should go to sleep right now, and that any work that I produce now will be a piece of crap, but I feel like I must keep going or I will be wasting my time. Unfortunately, I usually find that the entire next day is a waste of time because I am too sleepy to think. When will I learn?!

Oh the terrible cycle of procrastination and rumination!

I've discovered that if you can alter your coffee habit so that you have a severe caffiene crash right around bedtime it works rather well. It can be tricky and is a bit of a science. The cycle does continue, but at least you get to keep up the hedonistic consumption of the pleasure that comes from the almighty coffee bean.

I liiiike it. It's kind of like the rhythm method - but with caffeine..
