Sleep is for the strong

It is NOT a weakness to need adequate sleep. There's a reason that sleep deprivation is an instrument of torture. It is, however, a weakness to give in to sleep-deprived crabbiness and poke and snark (the snide kind, not the funny kind) at undeserving (well, at least mostly) loved ones. I need a little more sleep than most people during the best of times, and the newborn months are understatedly not the best case scenario for blissful sleep. My old friend insomnia coming back to visit hasn't helped, either (damn you, racing thoughts! Doubly unproductive!). Maybe I should learn to meditate? My hitting the wall isn't pretty :(
