Being tired isn't so bad, when you're not tired anymore..

I frequently stay up far too late, and then get up at a (at least semi) normal hour in the morning.  In my experience, that is not conducive to being fully awake and not tired all the time.  But I still do it.  Why?

One of the reasons is because when I'm tired like that, at some point you get to the point where you're so tired that you're no longer tired.  

The point where, if you sit or lie down for even a short moment, it starts getting to you, but as long as you're going..you're not tired.

That's a favorite reason of mine.  Though, not a reasonable one.

Another reason is because it's almost like being drunk.  Not that I really have any experience with that yet, but it's kind of what I imagine as being drunk.  

Lowered inhibitions, laugh at everything, trouble speaking sometimes, unbalanced.  To me, that sounds drunk.

But with me, it's just being tired.  

Anyone else experience that?

Thanks for listening.
