This is an interesting article on missing sleep. The guy is right – some people plan on it or don’t do enough to avoid it. Some bosses expect or encourage overtime and so on too

The photo in this link is right - just ask any new parent if sleep deprivation encourages creativity. Our 2 year old has been having some bed-wetting problems again lately. We nearly had it mastered and he will again soon I am sure. But getting up in the middle of the night to wash him and strip the bed totally sucks.

We all miss some sleep occasionally but the 2 caveats are:

1. Avoid missing sleep and don't plan to miss sleep
2. When you do - catch it up as soon as possible - without wrecking your sleep patterns

Easier said than done I know :)
