Whenever the subject of sleep comes up I say I need my 14 hours just to see if people are listening. While making a crack about sleeping for a million years is funny to me, the idea of going without sleep is no joke. I take my sleep seriosuly, some (my wife) would say I take it too seriously. I've had to get to work no later than 4:30 am for the last 16 years and I know how hard it is to do that if I didn't get proper sleep.
