backlog

I believe in backlog.

I’m pretty much always tired. I wake up almost every morning still feeling sleepy. Even after a good night’s sleep, I’m tired. Even after the very rare occasion of sleeping till noon, like I did this morning (wow!), I still wake up tired. Backlog, I tell you.

Getting a sufficient amount of sleep one night (or even several) does not seem to make up for the backlog of tiredness. That’s my theory, anyway. Otherwise, why would I still be tired today?

Backlog. Gets me every time…

   I absolutely concur. I do not think you can really catch up on the backlog….it has to be consistent…which is really hard :)

   Ugh. Sleep is one of the things I need the most. Don’t function well AT ALL without it. You need sleep, girl!

   You may feel this way because it’s not possible to regain lost sleep. It is, however, possible to store sleep for future burning-the-candle-at-both-ends sessions.
