If you are awake at 4 am, and have to be at work at 7, should you even try to get back to sleep or should you try to do something with your time?

    When I was younger, I’d try to power through. Now that I’m older, I recognize that my day is always better when I try to get some sleep.

    When I was younger, not sleeping was the result of bad choices. Lately it’s because of insomnia. I don’t know if that makes any difference, but I guess it’s worth noting.

    PSA: 24 hours of sleep deprivation is similar to having a BAC (Blood Alcohol Count) of 0.10%. That’s over the legal limit in most places. If you have to go to work, don’t drive.
