sleep deprived

I think sleep deprivation could do The Boy in before the World Cup is over. It’s not just the fact that the games are in the early hours of the morning that’s the problem. Unfortunately, if Brazil is playing, he can’t sleep the night before. Brazil played (and won) at 3 am yesterday, and he would be lucky to have had an hour of sleep in total before or after the game. He was in bed by 8 pm last night and slept like a rock until the alarm went off this morning.

The real bugger for me is this: when he can’t sleep, neither can I. I don’t even like soccer, but I’m nearly as sleep deprived as he is. July 10 can’t come quickly enough.
