I will get my hands on that book. I did not know that. We often blame people for things that we think should rather than actually looking at things to investigate them properly. Thanks! Luke Hali,

Very good point. I will get my hands on that book. I did not know that. We often blame people for things that we think should rather than actually looking at things to investigate them properly.

Thanks!

I found the polar bear picture amusing, and the content timely as my sleep schedule was thrown totally off last night. And just as you predicted, I'm lacking my normal energy, it's more difficult to make decisions, I don't want to do anything and I woke up feeling horrible. It's probably not the lack of sleep per se, but the combination of the once or twice a I stay up really late plus the fact that other people around me were a bit unwell. As for blogging vs entrepreneurship... I'm still pondering that one. Where do you think a blog network fits into this scheme? Is any business owner an entrepreneur or only pioneering ones? These are just some questions your writing brought to mind. I really enjoyed your last two articles.

Sleep deprivation is a bigger problem than most people realize: it affects personality, performance, & health. It's also connected to some major disasters including the Exxon Valdez spill--no, really. Read the book. It just wasn't exciting enough for a headline; everyone remembers the drunk captain, not the sleep-deprived first mate who was actually steering (or NOT steering) the ship. In America, we pride ourselves on not sleeping, like it's a weakness and not a necessary biological function! I would write more, but it's my bedtime. ;-) H.
