<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/FONT>In the previous post, Sleep or the Lack Thereof<\/a>, I mentioned having gone through a sleep study in which the doctor forbade (for lack of a better word) me from caffeine because of the altered state it creates with my sleep pattern. <\/font>Despite the warning, the evidence supporting the reason behind the warning, and just plain obeisance, today, I had a caf\u00e9 mocha. <\/font>After 3pm. <\/font>Not a good idea. <\/font>Although I lay down to go to sleep a little after 10pm, my mind has raced while my body has lain prone in a horizontal position. <\/font>Before now, I did not physically move much but my mind has bounced from the mental construct of a new year (potentially the next post after this one); nutritional deprivation in an environment of seeming bounty (aka food deserts); <\/font>reconnecting the memory of taste with the actual experience of tasting (rediscovering the lost flavor of a strawberry on my first trip to Paris); and the list literally goes on.<\/p>\n <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/FONT>I start a new assignment later today and do not foresee sleep anytime before the time for which I have the alarm set. <\/font>Despite that, as soon as I post this, I will resume the horizontal position to see if there will be a reprieve from my Sebastian Vettel driven Formula 1<\/a> thoughts.<\/p>\n Hopefully, good night (literally morning)\u2026<\/p>\n <\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n \n <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the previous post, Sleep or the Lack Thereof, I mentioned having gone through a sleep study in which the doctor forbade (for lack of a better word) me from caffeine because of the altered state it creates with my sleep pattern.
