Ow! My Delta-Waves!

Once again, for a variety of reasons, I haven't been getting enough quality sleep for the last several days. Between my own projects, working on finding a new job, contract work, and the time I have to spend at the "day job" I'm finding myself running out of time and letting my sleep suffer. It doesn't help at all that in the summer I'm much more inclined to want a siesta and much less able to get to sleep at night.

You should consider joining the Cabal of Nightdwellers. They are a collective of non-sleepers that formed to rid the world of drastic sadness. They follow their own rules and have tattoos on display in the Smithsonian.

My hypothesis is that my sleep "disorder" has a practical basis in human evolution. There is a certain small percentage of the population whose circadian rhythms are out by several hours in either direction from the norm ("morning people" and "night people"). The percentage is such that there would be one or two of each in any tribal group. These people would naturally perform the night watch and morning watch duties such as keeping the fire going while everyone else was asleep and keeping the nasty beasties away.
