Sleep and the art of staying awake

It has been far too long since my last post, so... here's one now.  I recently had a new baby boy.  That has  been really cool, but my 2 year old daughter has been more difficult, at least when it comes to sleeping.

Sleep is an interesting thing.  For some people it is an absolute necessity for basic functioning from day to day.  For others it is just a nice-to-have optional sort of thing.  However, when you go for long periods of little-to-no sleep, anyone will feel the effects.

I'm trying my best to keep my lack of sleep from affecting my day to day behavior and general happiness, but it's hard.  One of the main things that helps is good food and a good shower.
