Second breath

Ever notice the unbelievable amount of energy you get when you are over tired?
What's that about? Some primitive survival instinct or just a side effect of the human body?

Iv never really know the reason, but as it seems I'm bored again, stuck in the afternoon traffic with only my iPad to comfort me.

For me personally the effect which I call the "tweede asem" or in English second breath is both a gift and a curse, il explain.

As I am only 21 I stil party quite often in which case the second breath helps me out a lot. While I'm getting so tired I can't stand, I also want to have a good time, that's when  I rely  on the second breath to give me the energy to carry on partying until the morning. The gift of the second breath.

Now for the curse part of the second breath, when you're so tired you just want to sleep, for me this usually occurs on Tuesday's and Wednesday's when the week feels to long. Then I lie there in bed wishing, begging for a good nights sleep at which time the curse of the second breath kicks in and I am forced to stay awake looking at the ceiling.

Well that's just my opinion. :)
