    I made surprising progress today, so I thought I'd grab a couple of beers. I'm building a custom JavaScript code editor, and I'm now exhausted. If I hold a beer in my hand, it forces me to focus on it. If I'm focused on something, I'm less likely to nod off. Who wants to wake up in shock from spilling a cold beer on yourself? Right? There is a caveat to this wakefulness technique. If you're holding a glass of beer in your hand, you'll drink it. I haven't found a fix for this, but I will.

      Funny story, speaking of sleeping problems. Several years back my ex-brother-in-law gave me a sleeping pill and said it would give me a great nights sleep. I took it and next morning I woke up after one of the best nights sleep I had had in a long time. Only one problem, I was laying on half a taco. He didn't tell me that one of the side effects was sleep walking. Never took it again.

        This is a demonstration of what is known as "The Beer Equivalent", which states that"Consumed Beer == Available Beer".

              I'm not sure if you have serious issues with life or humor. :) It's 3am on the east coast of the US. I cannot sleep. I am wide awake, my brain is zooming, and I don't do crack. See next post. I have to go to a code merge of a few hundred files..

                I could answer that question, but I'll be honest with you, I am a liar. If a person is an idiot, does that mean that they have serious issues in life? Are they incapable of having a sense of humor?

                  I've been trying to fix this problem over and over again since I can remember. Last night, I held a glass of beer in my hand. I stayed awake by focusing on not spilling any beer. Then I drank it all. Then, after that, I went to bed and fell asleep. If you don't succeed, try again.

                            Many of these sound half familiar from my younger years back when I knew everything. :^)

                              More discipline? Get another one right away and see if it works better with the second. Repeat as necessary.
