Hi Folks,
Another case of not getting stuff posted the day I wrote it. This time for good reason though. I just got about 15 hours of sleep! For most folks, that may not be a rare thing, but for me it represents more sleep than I get in 4 days usually. So my question to all of you is.. how long do you sleep at night?

In the past, I would generally sleep 8 hours a day on average. But it wouldn't be rare for me to go 2 days and then sleep 10 hours. In the last 12 months in particular, that's changed for me to about 4-5 hours a day, sometimes going 2 days without sleeping. It's not really out of choice. It's not that I don't like to sleep. I've just literally not had time to sleep. When I am on road trips, it's no uncommon for me to go 20-30 hours at a time without sleep.. then crash somewhere for 10-12 hours. I've been to peoples houses where they've barely seen me between working, doing shows and sleeping. How many of you actually get normal sleep on a normal pattern every night? Even years ago, before JPF, (which seems like several lifetimes ago) when I had the regular day job, I still would come home and work late into the night on music and then get a couple hours of sleep and be dragging myself back home, often for a nap still in my work clothes because I couldn't keep my eyes open, only to wake up and do it all over again.

So.. what are your sleep patterns? I slept so long last night that I am still tired. Ever do that too? Sleep so long you're still ready for more sleep?

PS: The reason there was no blog yesterday was that Comcast's Internet Service was off for nearly 24 hours! Argh!
