Re: Hours of sleep I get on an average weeknight

Sleep? You mean sleep EXPR as described in PERLFUNC? I don't only use that at night, but whenever I want one of my programs to wait for a couple of seconds. But multiple hours? I somehow don't quite get that...

Anybody care to explain?

A periodic suspension of consciousness. Usually refreshes, envigorates, and makes people less grumpy.

An inconvenience that most hackers / coders would rather do without. Avoidance mechanisms normally involve large doses of stimulating substances such as caffeine.
