Sleeplessness & Alcohol Knocked Me Out

My sleep schedule for last week was all messed up. I didn’t get to sleep much. On Saturday, I woke up early and drove 1.5 hours to Whitetail to teach snowboarding. I had a morning lesson with 8 kids from age 7 to 12. Luckily, I didn’t have a lesson in the afternoon. I left Whitetail around 1:30 pm.

I wanted to rest before heading to the Vietnamese concert at MGM casino, but I still couldn’t catch a nap. My wife and I arrived at the casino around 8:45 pm. We met up with our friends and headed to the VIP room. There was an open bar. I started off with a Tanquery and tonic. Our friend got my wife vodka and pineapple juice. It was a bit too strong for her. So I drank it and ordered her a Cosmo. It was still too strong for her. I drank it as well. I ordered her an SOB (Sex On the Beach). She didn’t like it either. Between her drinks and mine, and my friend passed around shots of cognac, I was fucked. I needed to dance to get the alcohol out of my system. I just went to the balcony and started jamming. I felt great.

After the show, we headed to the after party. We danced some more and drank some more. We left around 1:30 am and my wife drove us home. As soon as I lay down in bed, the alcohol worked its way in my system. I couldn’t fall asleep. I got up around 8:00 am and there was no way I could drive 1.5 hours to work. I emailed in sick and went back to bed. I slept all day on Sunday to catch up on all those sleepless nights. By Monday morning, I felt great and recharged.

I need to get back on my sleeping schedule again. Thanks to my wife for capturing the great moments.
