Yeah, I really kicked my own behind for WEEKS before Animazement this year. Absurd as it sounds, I actually got MORE sleep at the con than the week leading up to it. It’s what finally put me back on a normal, healthy sleep-cycle as well!

I must confess, though, that this cartoon turned out to be a bit inaccurate. I was sleepy, sure, but I did, in fact, stay up until 4 getting all my packing done. That’ll teach me.

(Historical Notes: There’s one thing that did NOT change over the years, just the circumstances leading up to it.  Since I’m driving too and from cons more often, I don’t have as much packing/preparations to do beforehand, so these pre-con crunches are nowhere near as bad as they used to be.  HOWEVER, on those increasingly rare occasions where I actually do stay at the convention hotel all weekend, it is ABSOLUTELY a weekend where I sleep more than I did the previous week.  I am almost ALWAYS the first person in the building to go to bed every night, like a proper old person.)
