So Little Time

I arrive at work just before midnight to start an eight hour shift. In order to survive being awake all night, it is important to sleep during the day. Today, however, I have barely slept at all. I am a reasonably intelligent person. I know what it takes to survive. But some days, there's just so much to do, and so little time.

I maybe should have been sleeping...but there was coffee and conversation to be had with a friend.

I maybe should have been sleeping...but there was sunshine to take in and fresh air to breathe.

I maybe should have been sleeping...but there were problems to solve, and mistakes to fix.

I maybe should have been sleeping...but there were days to hear about and projects to help with.

I maybe should have been sleeping...but there was dinner to eat together and laughter to share.

I maybe should have been sleeping...but there was so much to do, and so little time. Which means the night's eight hours might be hard to survive. But when there's so little time, and so much to do, maybe what we should be doing is not being so intelligent that we sleep. Maybe what we should be doing is just making the most of what sometimes feels like so little time.
