How could we possibly? You know far more about this than we do, unless some of your fellow grunts out there care to disagree. Somehow, I don’t see that happening 🙂
Your mind is right on target here, ST: lack of sleep leads to slowed reactions, fuzzy thinking, altered perceptions of surroundings, etc. However, Morpheus can also be a warrior’s faithless companion. Sleep can either “knit the raveled sleeve of care” or unravel it into a tangle from which one can’t escape.
Hopefully, the Psalmist’s words:” It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.” [Ps. 127:2] match experience more often than not. (Even for those of us who haven’t ever been grunts.)
Change my mind.
