I hate it. Look at the cover of newsweek with mother therersa. Thats how our hub turns guys look. Youre meant to sleep at night pure and simple.

Its like drinking beer. The more you do it the more you get used to it. You just have to remember you can't work all day doing honey-do's and then go out and put a 12 hour day or so at night. Afternoon combat naps are great, especially with my avatar,,,,,,,,,,,,,..

Then again, I'm only carrying as much as one of your cans...
