wisdom of the tired

If I didn't know any better I'd say people make some of the best decisions when tired. That way they'd have energy for only important things and would only dwell on those. In a lot of respects it'd be much more practical.

Alas, decision making is rarely at its peak when the person making the decisions is tired because they forget a lot of little details which would end up being rather important.

One of these days you're going to have to get sign on a messenger service so we can chat again. If nothing else, email me. We're both online at the same time. Anyway, as for decisions. I've found that if I'm well rested and stay up the night before a test I do better on that test, probably because my mind's already in the flow of being awake by the time I get to school. However, I oftentimes make the most stupid mistakes because fatigues causes me to write things like "fatigues" instead of "fatigue." Bah. Curse you tiredness! I wrote "how you" earlier. I remember thinking the verb, the thought simply didn't send to the fingers. Tired mind compensating I guess. And I still have that calc hw to do. Arrggh!
