Thanks Ned.  I find myself regularly existing on way little sleep.  So I'm
glad to know that you seldom have that issue these days.  That means there's
hope.  You're probably right about the worry about it.  But when you don't
have the opportunity to normally sneak in a nap during those days there are
just times when one doesn't function properly, as you know only too well.
