Sleep Drought

i miss math. And numbers. So let's start this one out via a series of uncomplicated computations regarding the total number of hours i slept the last seven days or so.

THURSDAY. Exactly a week ago i was in Naga for the Cable Wakeboarding shoot... We left Manila via Air Philippines at around 6 a.m. i believe... But of course, because of the lack of sleep (understatement, i did NOT sleep at all) the night before i am now not sure what time we arrived in Cam Sur (Thursday sleep: 0 hours.)

FRIDAY. As far as i can tell i did work the entire Friday... i can not remember if i stole an hour of sleep or so. Maybe i did in the van or bus on our way to the shoot site. Maybe not. Friday night, it's San Mig Light with Enteng 'til two or three or four (Must be the beer again... i can't remember) so rough estimate is for Friday i had maybe 4 hours of sleep.

So far, that's four hours worth of Z's in 48 hours.

SATURDAY. Woke up at around 10 a.m. and worked until about 11 pm (There was a one-hour spa courtesy of the organizers in between so maybe i dozed off for about roughly less than the alloted. On another note, i am not paying 1,200 pesos for a spa. This one was free so heck, i tried it.)

Curiously, i had the option to drink again that Saturday night... However, i settled for a couple of Marlboro Lights (Gold) near the hotel lobby and decided against alcohol... The sheep cooperated actually and i grabbed a four-to-five hour worth of sleep--- a record for the past three days.

(SLEEP COUNT SUMMARY: 9 hours of Z's in 72 hours)

SUNDAY. Sunday, Sunday... Upon arrival i remember i did steal some sleep during the travel from the airport to Antipolo, i'd give it an hour maybe... i went straight to the office and did a little bit of work. Body starting to whine at around 2 pm so i decided to go home and please the body. i remember i watched the PBA so that means i slept after 9... Give it a nice 9-to-5 sleep (Give or take the minutes it takes to toss and turn in your bed) for a very generous 8-hour sleep!

(SLEEP COUNT SUMMARY: 17 hours of Z's in 96 hours)

MONDAY. House of Hoops shoot then straight to the basketball court for the game vs. Red. Won the ball game. Celebrated until about 1 a.m. before catching the Z's. about another 8-hour sleep. Wooot.

(SLEEP COUNT SUMMARY: 25 hours of Z's in 120 hours)

TUESDAY. Normal day. Outside of daydreams (Can you count that as part of the sleep stage?) of you. 8 hours sleep

WEDNESDAY. Overnight at the office for a couple of "special projects" (i hate the term it only means that if there's extra work it will be assigned to our team. How is that for being special) Slept at around 3 am... Woke up at 9 am... 6 hours of sleep. Back to abnormal (or normal?) sleep routine.

(SLEEP COUNT SUMMARY: 31 hours of Z's in 144 hours, that's 6 days)

THURSDAY. House of Hoops shoot... then went straight to the court to watch the game between Red vs. Blue... Because i had to finish some stuff for the "special projects" (NOKIA NBTC and NIKE ELITE recap shows) i had to go to Boni to borrow/use Che's laptop... And yey, i finished the script at around 3 am... and started counting sheep at 3:30 before my sister, Let-Let sent me a text message the bus were minutes away from the Ali Mall terminal where i was to fetch them... Which meant another Zero Z's!

(SLEEP COUNT SUMMARY: 31 hours of Z's in 168 hours or 7 days)

That's the Thursday to Thursday sleep story. Now (Friday, 11:18 pm) the simple plan is to sleep until lunch tomorrow and see if that's enough to neutralize this week's sleep drought. NOT THAT THIS IS NEWS as that abnormal sleep pattern is normal the past 24 months. We will see if the sheep cooperates tonight and the bed bugs don't bite.

If only you texted back, sleep would have been much easier to achi..--- wait you did! (Coincidence really as i was typing this line!)... Now i can sleep.
