#6. The I’M TIRED, AND HERE’S HOW MANY HOURS OF SLEEP I GOT LAST NIGHT Update
EXAMPLES:
"Dan Wright was up til 3 and up again at 6 for work."
"Chris Keel is functioning (barely) on 2 hours of sleep."
"Inge Neal did not get her required 8 hours and wishes she could take a nap."
Is this really an update? We're all tired. Isn't that a given? We all work too hard and stay up too late watching TV and surfing the internets and Facebooking ourselves into bleary-eyed oblivion. A real update would be the refreshing exclamation, "I feel so AWAKE today!"
And yet the I'm Tired, And Here's How Many Hours Of Sleep I Got Last Night updates persist. People seem to get specific about hours so as to prove that while we all might be in a sort of daze, they are TRULY sleep-deprived. But it probably really means they're just too tired to think of something more interesting to say.
Got a good example? Post in the Comments section.
