insomniac
According to the wikipediaInsomnia is a symptom of a sleeping disorder characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. Insomniacs have been known to complain about being unable to close their eyes or “rest their mind” for more than a few minutes at a time. Both organic and non-organic insomnia constitute a sleep disorder.
Eventually I’ll get hit with the stay-awake hammer, and I must say, it is a horrible thing. I am completely oblivious, and I am dead tired.
It’s like my brain has no RAM or swap to work with.
Last year that happened to me (I had several other problems to make this even worse), and I ended up taking some time off and/or working from home for quite some time… And I really didn’t want for that to start happening again. But lately I’ve been sleeping less every single day, specially with this dry weather and me coughing all the time.
And having the experience of how that looks to your co-workers, it is starting to really bother me again. I should probably tell them about this before it sounds like a weak excuse.
stupid sleep… or lack of it…
