Lesson #2627 - Sleep

I have less than two days before I fly out to Utah for the one major chemical engineering conference of the year, and I'm doing so much while therethis year (because I am slowly becoming something of a reasonably-professional-person) that I am fighting the sleep monster with every tool I've got just to be ready in time. We still haven't figured out how to truly beat sleep, though. That's the first step towards beating death, I figure. What the hell, scientists. Get on it, already.
