Sleep deprivation – 16 days of sleep deprivation while these
Olympics take place. For me (who can barely keep my eyes open past 9 p.m. most
evenings) this two weeks of sporting events is going to be hell for my sleep pattern.
Much like my fellow-blogger, Colleen, I enjoy watching the
Olympics – summer and winter. It’s amazing to see these athletes from around
the world perform at the highest level of competition, and some of them are
only teenagers! When I was 17, I sure as shit wasn’t preparing to fly to
London! I was just hoping I didn’t wreck my parent’s car on a daily basis.
However, my patriotic support results in extreme tiredness
the following day. I mean, you can literally watch Olympic sports 24-hours a
day! Not to mention, the most popular and exciting sports they save until
evening (to sucker you in). I try, I try REALLY hard to keep my eyes open to
watch until the end, but it’s hard.
And for me, my favorite equestrian sports are aired at the
ass-crack of dawn! I mean c’mon! There is no way I can be up at 5 a.m., to
watch cross-country or show jumping. Thank goodness for DVR! Even though I’m
sure I will fill the memory with all the riding events.
The Olympics are great. It is something you can talk to any
stranger about during those two weeks, and you have something in common –
probably sleep deprivation too.
In all honesty, thank God for the invention of DVR (that,
and GPS). I have no idea what I did before that? So now, I can fall asleep at 9
p.m., and never miss a beat!
PS – I need to cancel my CNN updates during the Olympics.
The ruin everything for me!
