It's really not a laughing matter. I find absolutely no pleasure in
sleep - only the relief from mental exhaustion. This, however, causes
me to feel guilt and shame for desiring such relief. Frankly, I find
any pleasure in sleep as slothfulness. Not to get off topic but I am a
Christian and so far be it from me to questions God's intent with this.
However, I am convinced that sleep is a result of the fall. Last night
- six and a half hours of valuable time DOWN THE TOILET! Just thinking
about it irks me. I could have written a Delphi article or produced
something, anything in that time. What a waste!
