This is a good point George, and one I have become a believer of many times.
Under the best circumstances, I try to get in bed at 6:00 pm local, and
sleep till 11:30. Then I can make it through the night. But the best
circumstances rarely come, as my 9-month old daughter loves to crawl to the
bedroom to see what "Da Da" is doing. Then it's like you've said before, I
become a zombie!
