On days like today, when I haven't gotten enough sleep, there is no power in the world that can make me productive absent either a deadline or an event. I can't bribe myself, trick myself, force myself, or sweet talk myself.
I'm worse than a toddler. At least they can take a nap and feel better. I'm just like this all day.
And even more embarrassing: I'm like this on 7.5 hours of sleep. Gah.
At the risk of asking a silly question: given that you feel tired, given that you observe naps to help against feeling tired; why not take a nap :-)

Because I'm *terrible* at taking naps. Either I can't fall asleep, or I do fall asleep and I sleep for two hours and then it takes me three hours to really wake up. It's no good. Well, it's fine if I don't plan on getting anything done the rest of the day!

The trick is to set the alarm clock for 25 minutes. I find that is usually enough; more than that and I too need a long time & some stimulants to get going again.
