You have to read this in the Washington Post, about how tired Team Obama has become: In West Wing: Grueling Schedules, Bleary Eyes
I only hope it slows them down. The WaPo has no idea how tired the whole country is, from having been on the receiving end of all the West Wing's efforts.
But before you rejoice that Obama, Czars & Co. may start taking time off to sleep, there's a down side to all this for the populace as well:
One study conducted for the British Parliament found that "mental fatigue affects cognitive performance, leading to errors of judgement, microsleeps (lasting for seconds or minutes), mood swings and poor motivation." The effect, it found, is equal to a blood alcohol level of .10 percent -- above the legal limit to drive in the United States.
Their poor motivation could benefit us, but not so the increased "errors of judgement" (as if the bailouts, Stimulus, Cap and Trade and Obamacare aren't enough of those).
Interestingly, the article doesn't mention Obama Himself. Wonder what time he gets to work. Or if he evens works at all.
