We have all been there; between work, school, play or whatever your schedule entails, you have at one point or another been deprived of sleep. It was awful, horrible and you never want to experience it again. I am experiencing it right now. The lucky few, like me, that have been sleep-deprived for extended periods of time (we are talking years here, people), probably do not even remember what it was like when we had enough sleep. What I do remember is becoming all of the different people I am when I do not get enough quality time with my pillow.
1. Hangry Susan
Yes, I have been there; and yes, I will be there again. Hungry Harriet is not a person I am proud to be, but it is my reality. Hungry and tired do not mix, but unfortunately, it tends to happen a little too often.
2. Giggles McGee
That feeling of being so silly with lack of sleep that the direst of situations seems hilarious? Oh yes, you are most definitely tired. Quit your giggling and get to bed... for everyone's sake.
3. Irritating Jill
You, my friend, are the kind of tired that everyone loathes (not to say that I am not or have never been this kind of tired because we all have). Please be a dear and when you recognize that you are Jill or are being told that you are acting like Jill, go get some rest. Do not be obnoxious. Go to bed, instead.
4. Dare-devil Bob
Do not be Bob. Do not jump off of a cliff. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Go to sleep.
5. Caffeine-crazy Kim
So you are at the point where caffeine becomes the most sacred thing in your life? Pathetic, Kim. Pathetic. Will knowing that you are being pathetic stop you from consuming all of the brewed coffee on the continent? No, probably not.
6. Agreeable Annie
This is a dangerous person to be when sleep-deprived because you will agree to almost anything. This may or may not include: tattoos, gambling, road-trips with strangers and/or calling your ex.
7. Too-happy Tom
You are the kind of tired that every other tired person hates. Quit being so happy while the rest of us are miserable! In all reality, however, Tom is the kind of tired we all wish we could be and hate others for being.
8. Hating-the-world Harriet
I am Harriet. All of the time. Even when I am not tired. Harriet does not want to be around people or have to put up with anyone or anything. Harriet is done with everybody and just wants to sleep.
9. Crying Carrie
Everything is sad. You are sad. The world is sad. Everything around you is sad, and you cannot stop crying; admit it, you have been there too. Get out the tears, and then get to sleep.
