Zero energy

[khiemtran]

I really need to cut down on the "zero energy" things... the things that I can do no matter how tired I am. I feel a bit like I'm in a sort of high functioning sleep state these days. I might think I'm fine as long as I'm only doing the zero energy things, and it's not until I try to do something else that I really realise how tired I am.

Browsing on the internet is one of those things. Writing is not. I think I'm feeling sleepy already.

Browsing on the internet is one of those things.

For me too. Strangely it seems to take even less brainpower than watching TV. Which is not good, because I tend to keep on browsing when I should be in bed getting some sleep.

Yep - a number of mindless tasks (including TV) fall into that category. Being too tired to go to bed is very dangerous indeed.

Yes, sleep is one of those funny things. As a species, we've been doing it for so long it's a wonder we're not better at it. Mind you, you could say the same thing about raising children.

We hardly watch any tv at all these days. Maybe an hour a week, unless you count the cricket (which you don't so much watch as monitor in case something interesting actually happens).
