It’s 2am, or something like that. You gave up on looking at
the clock a long time ago, since it doesn’t really matter. You haven’t slept
more than 3 hours at a time in weeks. Your body feels as if it’s been hit
by a truck. You head hurts. You’re hungry, but too tired to eat. You want to
wear something cute to work the next day, but are too exhausted to plan an
outfit. You feel like crying because you can’t see any reprieve in sight. When
you’re a parent, there are no “days off.” Not that you especially want one,
because you miss your kids like crazy when you’re not with them. What you want
is for time to stop, for you to be able to get some real, restorative sleep for
as long as necessary, and then to resume your life, with energy to have fun
with your family. You start to wonder how much money you would pay someone for
sleep. You have a stroke of genius about an idea for a new business: a service that
allows you to “buy” sleep. You start practicing your Shark Tank pitch for the
sleep-buying company. You start drifting off. . .
