My muse has been operating in minimal sleep for several weeks now. Everyone has a breaking point: so is your muse going to be the voice of reason, or the one to break them down?
“Hey, you look exhausted, you should rest.”
“You can’t keep waking up at three am like this! Three hours of sleep is not healthy for you!”
“Why are you so tired? Didn’t you sleep?”
“You can’t possibly be thinking straight. Not as tired as you are.”
“You know what works better than coffee? Sleep. And it’s free. You should try it.”
“I think you need to take some time off work or something.”
“Sleeping is just a recharge for your brain. And body.”
“Wanna stop hating yourself? SLEEP.”
“I will make sure you sleep, even if I have to take you home, aggressively tuck you into bed, and sit on you for the next seven to nine hours!! Don’t think I won’t!!”
“I know you have a lot on your plate right now, but you need to sleep. You’re doing far more harm than good being that tired!”
“You are getting sleeeeepyyyyy… No? Worth a short. But seriously, you need to rest.”
“I will sing you a lullaby, and physically fight your nightmares if I have to. If that’s what it’ll take to get you to sleep.”
“You aren’t sleeping on the job are you?”
“Don’t rest your eyes just yet. You’ve still got at least five other tasks to complete before the end of the day.”
“You don’t have time to sleep, you need to get these things done first.”
“Sleeping is overrated anyway.”
“You’ve got to do what it takes to get things accomplished. You can sleep later.”
“If you close your eyes now, the nightmares may return.”
“Sleep is for the weak….you aren’t weak, are you?”
“So much to do, so little time…if you get started now, you might be finished by midnight.”
“You tired? Well buck up, buttercup.”
“HEY! I see you nodding off over there! Get back to work!!
“I will pour hot coffee down your shirt if I have to!! We don’t have time to sleep!”
“Don’t make me get the air-horn!!”
