When we lack sleep...

When we lack sleep, we:

1) are easily irritable;

2) are prone to angry outbursts;

3) blame ourselves, others, events, or anything we can think of for the way we feel;

4) are so drained that we cannot think straight;

5) feel that our lives are so messed up that nothing seems to be going right;

6) give our problems more weight than we would normally do;

7) feel helpless, hopeless and lost; and

8) wonder how we will ever be able to cope.
