Sleep and piece of mind

My dear friend,
it is surprising how huge influence on my behavior and my comfort level has a sleep. I knew this for very long time, but it is always rather difficult to follow. I just need at least eight hours of sleep. I remember time when I was only one who I was responsible for. Than when I felt I just took longer sleep, or went to bad at 8pm or even early, than I could be nice, smiling pleasant to talk to.

Now I get that long sleep very rarely and I become acting very shortly and unpleasant to others and to myself as well. Creativity shrinks to zero. Only few hours a day is enjoyable. I hate it. In last few days that leads to all kinds of conflicts and I seems to be not able to do anything special about it. Some beer later in the evening helps sometimes.

I hate to fall in such a rhythm. I am so called early morning person. It is for me much more natural to sleep from 9pm, but be awake even at 4am with no consequences over a day.

Not only conflicts with people around me, but also the lost of creativity is killing me. And one can thing that is only expression, but sometime I have feeling it is just pure fact, live is short and I am making it even shorter.

Oh, my friend who would be if I write this to the paper and supposed to send it in envelop. I should write name and address on it? Writing it here is easy, no destination just shouting out of the ip port. But how much more personal could be the reaction if you are only person who this letter is addressed?

Tell me, if you care…

    “Not only conflicts with people around me, but also the lost of creativity is killing me. And one can thing that is only expression, but sometime I have feeling it is just pure fact, live is short and I am making it even shorter.”

    Don’t push yourself too hard. Some things just take time. Sometimes you’re full of creativity, sometimes you’ve lost it. Don’t look at it as lost time.

    And get some more sleep! ;-)

    Thanks Jacco, I try even a bit difficult recently. Currently I am in Singapore and days are shorter live faster, so even less time ;-)

    Aha, Singapore. I guess that means there’s no big chance to go shooting some film/sensor together this weekend?

    why not, I am back Saturday at 6am ;-)
