It is almost comical how your body begins to malfunction if you don’t get enough sleep. Some really silly things start to happen. I recently went through a period of three or four days when I couldn’t sleep. Too much on my mind. By the third day of sleep shortage, I noticed doing things such as, reaching to turn off the lights and missing the wall switch two or three times. Walking through a doorway and cracking my shoulder on the door frame.
I started dropping things. Everything. Car keys, phone, silverware, pens. I would grab hold of them, and drop them. Most of the time I would just laugh at myself, but continued lack of adequate sleep is no laughing matter. Eventually I started getting headaches, lost my energy, had trouble thinking, and was always grumpy.
You have to find time to sleep. If not overnight, take naps. Make time for it. Especially if you are older (I’ll let you define that). I finally got caught up and it made a tremendous difference. If you are trying to drink from a cup and wind up missing your mouth and spilling on your shirt, it’s time for a rest break.
You said it. Amen
You may have solved my problem from a few weeks ago. I was dropping everything for no reason and bumping into door frames hurts! I must gave caught up on sleep now.
