I can pretty much hang with anyone when it comes to sleep deprevation.
Watch out man, sleep deprevation is deadly. We'd rather have you with us than get our knives a little faster...
See, even more proof we need to have you cloned
I'll come be an apprentice, I'm sure the cost of living there can't be higher than out here... My arms still work well independently, I just can't throw a football or swing a bat like I used to and my ability to do overhead work is limited.
Seriously though, I used to think I was fine with little to no sleep, then I took a snooze while I was behind the wheel and went 500 feet down a mountain... I've stopped drinking coffee, mostly, and I take a nap almost everyday. Being the best at what you love to do makes it hard to put it down, especially if you're OCD like me and most highly successful people have some, if not many, obsessive and or compulsive tendencies. I used to start work at 6am and during the summer and I wouldn't get back to the office to do my paperwork until 10:30 or 11pm, usually. Food I'd get in between stops, I just couldn't *sit* for an hour and do nothing while there was so much to do.
You gotta look after yourself. I read your posts, I know you're a good guy, I'd hate to hear about something bad happening to you and don't think it can't. My aunt and uncle, both PhDs in TX and also workaholics, went on a road trip and both fell asleep in the car at the same time... on the highway... Thank god they lived, but my aunt has serious damage to her arm and they both nearly died from blood loss...
Be careful on the roads people, I think the number one killer of adults, after heart disease, is auto accidents and I wonder how many of those are attributed to fatigued driving...
