I work nights so I hardly sleep either. I keep thinking when I finish school I will sleep. Think that is possible?

My job is a joke. I am actually a glorified babysitter and when the kids go to bed at 11pm I get to read and watch movies.

it's bad when you try to figure out where sleep can fit in your schedule. With work and school i'm occupied 7 days a week and friday is the only day i get to sleep past 6:30. but hey, that's life; or so i'm told.

Better to do the no sleep thing when we are young I guess. I am 26 and I am doing okay with it so far. Some of the people I work with that are older have a tough time with it.

im starting to slowly get used to the no sleep factor of life. as we speak i am running on five hours of sleep. most nights i don't get more than that. before college i was used to getting at least 7. not so much anymore.

I read about a dozen books per year. Those of you that read one or two per week are amazing. Where do you find the time? I believe I'm probably an average reader in terms of speed.

This is my third year tracking what I read. In 06 I read 46 books and in 07 I read only 26.

I try to read at least 3-4 a month.
