Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I don't think I've ever experienced the good kind of staying up for days on end, but I am delighted to hear that you finished the screenplay.

If you're going to do movies, I'm going to insist on you getting some live-in help. Someone who can cook for you, do the laundry, and call for an ambulance.

If my mom were here, she'd say that everybody needs a wife.

Ha! What a cross post. Clearly Kristen and I cherish the sleep.

I do love my sleep. I can push myself to about 60 hours without if I need to but it's not a pretty sight.

It may not be a pretty sight, but I think I'd like to see this on video.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bless. I think I've pushed myself past 24 maybe once.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I used to be able to make it to 60, but I think 36 or 40 is probably my limit with no sleep. I can still get by for 2 or 3 weeks with 3 or 4 hours a night.

If you let me break it into two bits, I can get by on five hours. If I have to have all five at once ... I'll still crave that afternoon nap.

I suppose if I weren't kravving I could go longer with less -- but sleep dep erodes my reflexes, and that gets me injured.

Oh -- I lied. On acid I've gone longer. But I really wanted to sleep.

It's not really that entertaining...though, I suppose that depends on your definition of entertaining.

If your idea of fun is watching me bump into doorways, spill things and come close to setting myself on fire? Then, whoo hoo, part-ay!

On acid I've gone longer.

Now, there's a story I wanna hear.

I can still get by for 2 or 3 weeks with 3 or 4 hours a night.

ON a good night, I get one 4 hour chunk of uninterrupted sleep. Usually I get only 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep. And this has been going on for two years now.

Kristen, thank you for asking, because I am dying to hear it.
