What are the levels of tiredness\u2014let me list the ways.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">You\u2019ve got your run-of-the-mill somnambulistic laziness. The kind that hits you on hazy summer days when it\u2019s just too hot to move and too humid to do something about it beside sleeping. That\u2019s the kind of tiredness folk tend to like right until the point they wake up two hours later, disoriented and sweaty. I\u2019m prone to that on Sunday afternoons after several hours at church and a decent dinner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Then there\u2019s the tiredness that hits a person after studying for a test or lifting too many weights or a long day of work. The body feels a bit shaky and you\u2019re not sure if you can do anything else when you blink and wake up at nine a.m. realizing you\u2019re running late.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">How about the tiredness that hits when your sick? Where you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re supposed to be doing but you know you can\u2019t do it anyway. Rolling around, moaning and thinking that death is nigh interspersed with fitful sleep sessions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Then there\u2019s exhaustion. That\u2019s what happens when you\u2019re working on several magazine covers and features, sleeping on the floor, inhaling paint (stain and thinner) fumes, raking, painting, re-routing your cable wiring through the ceilings, moving furniture, shopping, waking up way too early and playing with the kids before they go to bed, studying the ramifications of individual election (theological term: feel free to skim) and finishing the day at midnight (for the fourteenth night) by writing a post for your personal blog.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I\u2019m sure there may be other levels of tiredness, but I don\u2019t care about them right now. My floor-serving-as-bed beckons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tiredness comes in several forms and are more easily embraced than others.
