Wowzer, it’s been a while. Don’t really have much excuse other than laziness, I’m afraid.

In my Science of Sleep class, the professor discussed some sleep-deprivation studies using mice. The experimenters tried various things to keep the mice awake, and then basically waited until the mice died and weighed their brains to see if there was a difference (compared to mice who were allowed to sleep). It already sounds a bit cruel, but one of the ways they kept the mice awake was by putting them on a pedestal in the middle of a bunch of water. So when the mouse got a little drowsy and nodded off, it slipped in to the water a bit and woke up to keep on the pedestal. I think that’s some people’s definition of Hell.

Also: having a tablet back is soooooo great.
