Friday 5 - Sleep Deprivation

Hello, and welcome to this week’s Friday 5! Please copy these questions to your Web space. Answer the questions there; then leave a comment below so we’ll all know where to check out your responses. Please don’t forget to link us from your website!
  1. When you’re having trouble staying awake, what are some things you do to make sure you don’t drift off to sleep? Loud music, driving with the window open in the winter (I generally avoid driving if I'm tired, but sometimes it happens. I normally pull over if I can or stop to grab something light to eat.) Unfortunately, with the cocktail of meds I have, I nap frequently and have trouble staying awake when I'm that tired.
  2. What’s most likely to cause you a prolonged period of not enough sleep? Not taking the night-time medication. Sadly, while I nap often during the day, I will go to bed at night and BOING! my eyes are wide open and I can't sleep. Ugh. For my like up until about 8 years ago, I never had trouble sleeping. As the DM II progressed, my sleep is severely affected and I can't do it without meds. It's crazy and sad.
  3. When you’re going through a prolonged period of not enough sleep, what parts of your daily routine are likely to change, and how? My daily routine is practically non-existent. So I don't know. I hate it when I can't sleep, though. Despite my not having a life, I still need a full night's sleep.
  4. Who in your life seems regularly to have not enough sleep? Luis is the first to come to mind. He falls asleep at the drop of a hat, but he doesn't sleep a full uninterrupted eight hours, which is what he needs.
  5. In what ways does your personality change when you go through a prolonged period of not enough sleep? I become short-tempered. I get pissed off easily, which is not normal for me.
Thanks for participating, and have a nice w—ZZZZZZZ…

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
