This last Memorial Day weekend was one for which we didn't have much going on. Thankfully the weather cooperated so we enjoyed three full days of staying mostly at home, gardening, reading, and hanging out in our backyard. Which meant that the Professor had constant company for three straight days and wasn't willing or able to take as many naps as he's accustomed to.
It was amusing for us to observe the effect that a lack of shut-eye had on his behavior: he was amazingly calm in the mornings and didn't clamor to go out right away; he didn't feel the need to bark at every passing dog or person; and he kept looking at us with dopey eyes that were struggling to stay open, questioning if this madness would ever end.
Therefore, sleep is important, even to professors with a seemingly unending supply of energy. Apparently we all have to charge our batteries to be able to operate at high speed.
