In the pantheon of Armyisms, "sleep is a crutch", is certainly in the top 5. We love this saying because it fits with the reality of the do more with less force structure. I have used this to motivate me into power-napping my way through two week field problems averaging 2 hours of sleep a day, and on occasion the extended Halo2 tournament. Why then do I find it so hard to get up on Sunday morning, and so easy to complain about how our chapel's service starts at 9am?
I think the problem has less to do with sleep and more do to with what motivates me. It is a harsh realization that leads me to disclose this fact to the internet, that I often enjoy my video games more than going to church. I recognize this problem and I'm probably not alone it. Reorganizing priorities and placing God in the "stuff worth forgoing siestas for" category and not in the "inconvenient stuff which keeps me from sleeping and or WoWing it up category" is certainly a step in the right direction.
P.S. More in an upcoming post on the WoW phenomena in the Army. (WoW as in World of Warcraft not the Christian album series)
