The Importance of… um… Sleep

Sleeping RaccoonIt can be so tempting to stay up late and, you know, slaughter newbs on Halo or work on your website or blog or hang out with your significant other at a bar somewhere until the late hours of the morning.

If you have an interview any time soon, though – you might want to reconsider.

Thanks to a cruel twist of fate, sleep actually plays a heavy role in our perception of the worldincluding mood, sense of time and space, and worst of all: memory.  And these aren’t just temporary effects.  Skip one night of sleep and your ass is gonna be draggin’ for days afterward.  What’s even worse – people who have been sleep deprived show the same sort of muscle degredation as those who’ve overexerted their muscles in a workout.

Going into an interview with no memory, no sense of time or place, a bad mood, a sore body, and circles under your eyes isn’t exactly starting on the right foot.  Skip the bar, pwn teh newbz later, and catch those missing Z’s.
