I Can’t Get No Sleep

I want to go to this island Tristan da Cunha. It is in the middle of no where in the south Atlantic and has just 276 people and 1 swimming pool.

I am wondering how the people live in that small community away from most and if not all types of mass media. I remeber when we were in Bora Bora – Tahiti and how just quiet it was there. That whole cut of feeling sounds scary and fun at the same time.

I just discovered CIA’s Archive, noun this is stuff that the CIA used to have classified and marked secret but now are open for anyone to go through and read. I been doing a search for Kuwait in the archive and it is like a mini history lesson. Most blurbs about Kuwait before 1990 are just a page or 5 long discussing current politcal and economic situtaiton and other random stuff. Yet even that has some lined nicely marked in black. I wonder what they were saying and what they hid.
One cool one I found was about the Arab Israel situtation in like 1950s and there was this part where they talk about the missles that Egypt and Israel are developing and then there is this huge paragraph that is blacked out. I wonder if it is hiding the fact that around that time Israel got nuclear weapons.

I think this is the section that would interest most Kuwaitis
CIA FOIA – Kuwait, August 1990. So we can get all the cool info about what happend during the invasion, occupation and the following war.

After Stallion post today about Papa John’s opening in Kuwait, cardiologist we decided to go eat their tonight, help kidnapped JC and headed to Sabah Al-Salem. It took us about 1/2 an hour of driving around to find it. None of us have really ventured to this area in depth so it was all new to us in the ghetto.

It is 3:30am and I have been in and out of bed for the best part of 2 hours and I just can’t get to sleep. I am tired even passed out at my friends place for an hour or so and figure I will hit the bed like a ton of brick and nada.
So what do I do? I get online and check out my regular sites for updates and find this great article from Harvard Magazine:
Deep into Sleep. It is discussing the need and requirements of sleep on your body. It is a great article and it is breaking down the whole sleep concept. One thing that caught my eye is this:

“Many children in our society don’t get adequate amounts of sleep, here ” Czeisler says. “Contrary to what one might expect, infertility it’s common to see irritability and hyperactivity in sleep-deprived children.

That is really something to think about when you have hyperactive kids.

And it seems that cramming before a test and being sleep deprived is ok if you just have to remember facts and dates. But if you need to actually form connections and create ideas and such you need that sleep. Being sleep deprived will screw with you frontal cortex much like what alcohol does to your system.

Also your motor skills are much better and faster in the morning if you learn something at night then do it again the morning. Sleep also improves motor skills!

Well it seems my problem is the computer. I think the light from the screen is making my brain go “sun light! sun light! must stay awake!”. This is a good mental note, I should avoid the computer before I go to bed by atleast an hour, or atleast have more lights on when I do use it to not screw with the brain.

Now this part is just one big exclamation point:

The moral of much sleep research is startlingly simple. Your mother was right: You’ll get sick, become fat, and won’t work as well if you don’t get a good night’s sleep.

It is so true, when I am sleep deprived I get really sick, and I am sure that could be a direct link to my weight gain. I have such bad sleeping patterns, sleep way late in the night, wake up in the morning for work and such, sometimes crash out in the afternoon, wake back up for work.

I go to sleep now.
