Today will be a very difficult day for me. After getting a few days of rest, I need to gradually ease into work. That will not happen today. In addition to being a Monday, which means extra early wakeup for me, I have a full day of work which includes two emergency repairs. I generally try to reduce my work load on Mondays because the early wakeup impairs my cognitive abilities sufficiently to interfere with my ability to do my work properly. I have to focus with extreme effort on Mondays to avoid causing catastrophic irreversible damage. This could be bad.

Yes, but it doesn't help much. The problem is in the time of the wakeup and not in the number of hours slept. It's a circadian rhythm disorder.Tue Nov 30, 2010 5:25:02 am

Yes. The first emergency repair was for stupidity. The second was for a problem that I had fixed hundreds of times before and can fix it in my sleep.Tue Nov 30, 2010 5:42:44 am

Stimulants are bad for me. They mess me up in a different way.Tue Nov 30, 2010 3:03:24 pm

That is the only stimulant I ever tried. I should not have put "stimulants" in plural, although I was subconsciously referring to other forms of stimulation like irritating noises and cold weather.Tue Nov 30, 2010 3:13:48 pm

Do you drink caffeine-free tea, then?Tue Nov 30, 2010 3:14:40 pm

I tried several chemical stimulants when I was younger. They are not fun, and I don't know why anyone would continue to use them.Tue Nov 30, 2010 3:22:10 pm

Most of the tea that I drink is "herbal", which naturally doesn't have any caffeine. The tea that I drink which has caffeine is white tea. That has very low levels of caffeine and is balanced by a high level of theanine.Tue Nov 30, 2010 3:22:45 pm

I see. I've never really paid attention to the nutritional content of tea. To me, tea is tea, just different flavors.Tue Nov 30, 2010 3:45:13 pm

So do I, nowadays at least. I was never a junkie, though; it was the random experiments that are fairly common among disillusioned and/or naive teenagers.Tue Nov 30, 2010 3:46:15 pm

I don't. "Nutritional" and "drug" have pretty much the opposite connotations for me. That is, one's good for you; the other is bad.Tue Nov 30, 2010 3:47:17 pm

True, but I would probably only research the nutritional content of tea if I experienced an averse reaction to a particular kind.
