Sort of Odd

Every once in a while as I get ready for bed, I'm overcome with an almost external awareness that it's quite odd that humans need to sleep for about a third of each day. I know it's natural and all animals do it in one number of hours or another, but if I were an alien looking at us and our planet, I think I would find it odd. It's so repetitive and ritualized, and we allocate so much space to it in our lives.

I'm sure there are multiple dissertations on the cultural aspects of sleep, not to mention on the physical nature of it, of course.

And all of this is to say... I'm too sleepy to write a real post. Sounds like we're losing another Inspector General to Mafia Mulligan and his boys. But it's time to go to bed.
