A Form of Torture. . .

According to the United Nations, sleep deprivation is a form of torture. And, after last night, it makes a lot of sense to me why this is the case. I did a little reading and allegedly it works a little like this: the torturer will deprive their prisoner of sleep for a long time, give them a taste of sleep, then wake them up and demand (probably again) the information they want. I am not really implying that what I experienced is anywhere near this bad, but I do understand why this torture would make one confess to a crime (that they had or hadn't) committed after a long while of not sleeping.

Anderson used to be a great sleeper (5-6 hours at a time), then he turned four months and he realized that if he cried he would get soothed back to sleep--clever little suckers, these babies. So, last night he slept the worst he has slept in his life; he woke up ever hour. As I write this, I am in a haze of delirium, and there is a little buzzing headache that will not go away. I think all new moms are familiar with this feeling. So, I decided to ask my torturer his thoughts on my state and this is what he had to say (excuse my dorky mom-talk):

I guess I can't stay upset for too long. I hope you are all getting some sleep.
