      Lack
      of
      sleep
      is
      a
      terrible
      thing.
     
     
      There
      are
      three
      types
      of
      insomnia.
      The
     
     
      first,
      in
      layman’s
      terms,
      and
      the
      most
     
     
      common
      is
      the
      ‘‘toss
      and
      turn’’
      type,
     
     
      which
      keeps
      the
      afflicted
      person
      from
     
     
      falling
      asleep
      for
      up
      to
      four
      hours
      after
     
     
      hitting
      the
      sack.
      The
      second
      is
      the
     
     
      “early
      riser’?
      phenomenon,
      in
      which
      the
     
     
      person
      chronically
      wakes
      up
      hours
     
     
      before
      he
      or
      she
      would
      like
      to
      and
     
     
      cannot
      fall
      asleep.
     
    

    
     
      The
      third,
      least
      common
      form
      of
     
     
      insomnia
      is
      by
      far
      the
      most
      harmful.
      In
     
     
      its
      mildest
      shape,
      it
      results
      in
      broken
     
     
      sleep
      all
      night
      long,
      resulting
      in
      the
     
     
      impression
      that
      one
      has
      not
      slept
      at
      all.
     
     
      In
      its
      strongest
      form,
      which
      I
      suffer
     
     
      through
      at
      the
      moment,
      is
      total
      lack
      of
     
     
      sleep
      for
      the
      whole
      night.
      One
      lays
      in
     
     
      bed
      and
      watches
      the
      clock.
      Thinks
     
     
      abstract
      thoughts.
      Offers
      up
      prayers
      to
     
     
      the
      transient
      gods
      of
      narcolepsy
      for
     
     
      reprieve.
      In
      short,
      suffers.
      I
      suffer.
     
    

    
     
      It’s
      scary.
      Never
      again
      will
      1
      make
     
     
      the
      mistake
      of
      comparing
      exhaustion
      to
     
     
      sleepiness.
      There
      is
      no
      similarity.
      I
      am
     
     
      exhausted.
      I
      cannot
      sleep.
      But
      why?
     
     
      Stress,
      perhaps.
      Maybe
      I
      simply
      wish
     
     
      my
      girlfriend
      was
      with
      me
      (with
      whom,
     
     
      incidently,
      I
      slumber
      like
      a
      child).
     
    

    
     
      So,
      my
      friends,
      due
      to
      my
      inability
     
     
      to
      string
      coherent
      patterns
      of
      thought
     
     
      together
      for
      any
      length
      of
      time,
      this
     
     
      column
      will
      be
      pitifully
      short.
      Here
      is
     
     
      the
      news,
      folks:
     
    

    
     
      The
      next
      meeting
      will
      be
      held
      this
     
     
      Wednesday
      in
      the
      lounge
      at
      12:45.
     
    

    
     
      The
      pub-crawl
      will
      take
      place
      the
     
     
      Friday
      before
      Spring
      Break;
      it
      looks
     
     
      though
      it
      will
      be
      the
      party
      of
      the
      year!

      As
      well,
      last
      week
      our
      article
     
     
      somehow
      disappeared.
      In
      it
      I
      made
     
     
      reference
      to
      the
      fact
      that
      my
      girlfriend
     
     
      and
      I
      are
      very
      close.
      So
      because
      the
     
     
      article
      was
      untimely
      lost,
      I
      will
      take
      the
     
     
      opportunity
      to
      repeat
      myself;
     
    

    
     
      Dear
      Wendy:
     
    

    
     
      I
      love
      you
      piles.
      Just
      because
      I
     
     
      won’t
      be
      here
      doesn’t
      mean
      things
      will
     
     
      change.
      Here,
      there
      or
      anywhere,
      I
      love
     
     
      you.
      --
      Love,
      Mike
     
    

    
     
      I
      can’t
      sleep,
      okay!
      Cut
      me
      some
     
     
      slack!
