Last night, I went to bed at 10, neglecting my post that I put up at midnight, ignoring the fact that my company site states that we're available until 11 PM, and snubbing the idea that 10 is wayyy too early for someone my age to be going to sleep.
I slept until 7 and woke up completely refreshed. I had completely forgotten how nice it was to sleep sometimes!
My usual schedule involves me getting about 4-6 hours of sleep. I try to take a 20-minute power nap during the day sometimes, but that doesn't quite get me to 100% all of the time. A cocktail of soda, caffeine mints, and caffeinated gum allow me to stay awake to do all of the things that I need to do on a daily basis, both on a personal level and on a professional one.
It used to be the case, a few months back, that every few weeks I'd just sleep from 7 PM to 7 AM one day and be completely back to normal, but it's gotten busy and stressful enough that I haven't been willing to do that. I might start that again - it's probably a good idea.
So, yay for sleep!
On another note, I want you to check out a new website. Well, it's not a new one, but it's a revamped one that needed a special ingredient. Originally, it was just the amusing IM conversations of two of my favorite bitches. Now, however, they have added me to their mix. Our IM conversations will be posted for the world to marvel at our wit, erudition, crudeness, and mundane existences. Go check it out: These Walls Have Ears. Put it on your feedreader, and once Britt has internet again, we'll be back in business. The business of hilarity, of course.

My post was late too. Hopefully people thought we were off having sex with each other and lost track of time.
Comments by Mr. Fabulous
Lmao@Mr. Fab!!! I love the way these walls have ears looks, Adam. It looked good before, but I think it is a good idea to have some male input.
Also, I don't think I need to tell you that you really should get more sleep.
Comments by Angel
I can think of a few blogs that help me fall asleep when I'm restless....
Comments by RW
I stayed up later than you last night?! That's sad.
Comments by Poppy
Naps make me groggy and a little cranky.
Comments by Mistress Yoda
Did saomebodys sayyy sleep?
Comments by BOSSY
sleep is critical, isn't it? after i got back from Prague and London, i couldn't find my normal schedule. only now have i been able to get seven full hours a night, which i'm happy with, for the most part. if i don't get good sleep though, i get sick and cranky and out of sorts, which ain't fun. i think the older you get, too, the more sleep is imperative to operating optimally. so be good to yourself, Avi!
Comments by Crys
I will do the same thing that you were doing. About once a month or once every few weeks, I will go to bed at 6 or 7 and sleep through the entire night. In fact, the first time Mr. ADW saw me do this he thought something was wrong with me because I was completely dead to the world and he could not get me to wake up. Later the next day I told him that if he ever tried to wake me up during my catch up sleep again, he would find himself a testicle short - I needs me sleep.
Comments by ADW
Sleep is important... Sometimes I feel like it wastes my time... But usually it makes me not so cranky.
This is going to be fun reading what you and the girls IM about.
Comments by themuttprincess
Mr. Fabulous, that's what I'll tell everyone, if you will too.
Angel, you should comment over at the new site, too. We love comments there!
RW, was that you trying to be snarky? Because it didn't work.
Poppy, I know - you're an old lady!
Mistress Yoda, same here, unless it's just a quick 20-minute nap. Those refresh me.
Bossy, is it nap time already?
Crystal, it'll be fine!
ADW, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. My mother used to say that you cannot catch up on sleep, but I think she's wrong.
TMP, we usually talk about boys and hair and shopping.
Comments by Avitable
I was going to try and sleep in this morning, but I have a dentist appointment. Which reminds me, I really should stop reading blogs and go brush my teeth or something...
Comments by Dave2
30 is the new 20! 32.75 is the new 40. Grrrrrreat...
Comments by Poppy
You are SUCH a good whore!!!! It's almost a turn on!
Comments by Amy
I left the three of you a comment there, too Adam. I just
reading you, Britt, and Amy's personal blogs, so a new one with the three of you together is just a bonus!! You almost made me forget my appointment with the
DevilDentist tomorrow.Comments by Angel
zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Comments by RW
I did the sleep thing last night too. I had really, really good dreams. I'm not well rested today, but I'm inspired for tonight.
Comments by Mist 1
By the way, I got a new template uploaded...check it out if you have time.
Comments by Angel
You spoiled the intrigue.
Naturally, I will still be stopping by.
Comments by themuttprincess
I can work 36 straight without sleep... but then I lose a full day under the covers. Sleep becomes quite addictive.
Comments by NYC Watchdog
Dave, you brush your teeth before the dentist?
Poppy, 32.75 is the new 40? Heh.
Amy, I think this is pimping, not whoring.
Angel, wow! Nothing like a pair of perky breasts to make a blog look awesome. I like the template and the color scheme quite a bit!
RW, aren't your 21 minutes of daily Internet time up yet?
Mist, were you dreaming about me again?
TMP, it's what we say about them that's fun!
NYCWD, yeah, my 36-hour days are followed by nothing but bed.
Comments by Avitable
Thanks!!
Comments by Angel
Nope, I checked and if you will kindly refresh your memory of our comments @ Britt's yesterday... it is I who am the pimp and you who are the whore, dear!
Now get that sweet ass out to the corner!
Comments by Amy
you need your beauty (beasty?) rest, avi. it's very important!
Comments by Webmiztris
quick stop-by for a
corporate in town, brick walls to hit & balls to bust.
Comments by Tug
Angel, you're welcome.
Amy, it's hard out here for a ho!
Dawn, beasty rest - I like that.
Tug, have fun!

Hey Avitable,
Glad to see you are rested. I haven't been able to get to sleep at night for a month. Lucky you!
Comments by jenny
I wish I could get good sleep right now.
Comments by Lynda
Adam, do you mind if I blogroll you?
Comments by Angel
TMP, well put.
Jenny, why not?
Lynda, use drugs and alcohol.
Angel, mind? I would expect you to! Unless your meaning of the word "blogroll" means something different than I think.
Comments by Avitable
I don't know why I'm not sleeping. At first I liked the time alone before I knew something was off, but now I just lie there with my eyes open. I am finding my body is shutting down a little bit because of it and I am getting nothing done I need to during the day. Then I have The Guilt! I probably just need a change of some sort. I'm nervous about starting our business this fall, maybe that's it.
Comments by jenny
Don't like alcohol, got drugs though, if you call that little box of Simply Sleep a drug.
Comments by Lynda
You have officially been blogrolled. That didn't hurt a bit, now did it?
Comments by Angel
Sleep? What is sleep? Is it some kind of a gorilla thing I wouldn't understand?
Comments by heather
Drugs? Alcohol??
This is not the time to be selfish.........
just sayin'
Comments by Tug
I don't care how hard it is as long as I get my cut... now take your lube and get back OUT there!
Comments by Amy
I think Adam might have fallen asleep again. I think I can hear him snoring....
Comments by Angel
I thought that was an earthquake??
Comments by Tug
Jenny, you need to work yourself so hard that you fall asleep standing up - then you'll be all set.
Lynda, how about a blow to the head with a large stick?
Angel, no, but my ass will be sore in the morning!
Heather, it's that thing that happens between being drunk and being sober and with a headache.
Tug, dear God, woman, you have corporate in town - none of that for you!
Amy, that's what she said!
Angel, still up and working!
Tug, it sounds like a freight train.
Comments by Avitable
When corporate pulled up (the one that thinks "boss" is a god) I asked what he was doing driving a pimpmobile.
he laughed.
I haven't received my review yet.
I may cry. ;-)
Freight train hit a semi by work today...not a good ending. I'm going with earthquake.
Comments by Tug
Adam, you work to much, but I'm sure you already know that.
Comments by Angel
I prefer a Maglight.
Comments by Lynda
Ya know, I'm slightly insulted by the whole "it was JUST amusing IM conversations". It's still "just" going to be IM conversations - and it wasn't JUST that. The point was that people could kind of peek in, ya know?
Dog fucker.
Comments by Miss Britt
Tug, I'm sure your review will be awesome.
Angel, yes, I do. I need to, though.
Lynda, I have one of those.
Britt and Butter, I can't help it if I just make things better, k?
Comments by Avitable
Oh you could TOTALLY make things better there. If you weren't afraid to show a little human side there it would be FANTASTIC.
Comments by Miss Britt
It was a non. No review. Just a hug as corp headed to the airport.
and the raise I asked for.
no review, no negotioating.
life is good.
Comments by Tug
Clash of the Brittans, I have no human side.
Tug, nice! Congrats!
Comments by Avitable
You got a raise?! Congratulations, sweetie!!!!
Comments by Poppy
Thankssomuch!
I went high with what I asked for so I had room to negotiate, too.......and I got it. NO negotiating. 
Comments by Tug
Wooohooo! That means you have money to get that sex you want, right?
Comments by Poppy
Honey, I don't care how hard up I am...I am NOT paying for sex. dammit.
Comments by Tug
Not what I meant, but I didn't think I could actually say what I meant here so I didn't. :D
Comments by Poppy
hee...I was WAY confused for a second there, but I think I'm with ya' now.
phew.
made me think.
Comments by Tug
Sorry, what is obvious in my head is often not so obvious in anyone else's, as Avi tells me often.
Comments by Poppy
so should I be scared that I figured it out, or just be thinking I'M SO SMAHT
Comments by Tug
I think you try harder than he does to understand me.
I appreciate that.
Comments by Poppy
he's a man.
Comments by Tug
I can deal with the not sleeping. As it is, I'm living on naps, and going to bed only on Tuesdays and Fridays, but I'm still not getting everything done!
I guess that's why you're a CEO, and I'm not :)
Comments by Girl, Dislocated
Girl, Dislocated, yeah, I actually need fourteen of me to get everything done.
Comments by Avitable
