You're an old bastard, no doubt.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Maybe it's the time zone difference. I'm assuming you're fishing in England if you call it a litre. Here in the US, we call it a liter.

quart! US never really made the transition to metric.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

It's a melatonin type hangover. Your body produces it to help you get to sleep, but if you are pulling an all-nighter, your body doesn't stop porducing it, it produces MORE.
The more you deprive yourself of sleep, the worse the effect will be, until to either collapse in a heap from exhaustion, or you die.
Remember that you NEED sleep. Sure, catnaps help in some situations, but you NEED serious REM sleep or risk suffering a serious psycho-meltdown. Hallucinations, paranoia and system failures are some of the results of lack of sleep. (Of course I'm talking more than a couple days worth, but you get the picture.)

The only way I have figuered out to avoid that feeling is to "fish smarter". All night marathons are harder as you get older. I finally asked myself "what's the point?" Then I began to fish smarter rather than longer. Made me feel better, more family time, everyone is happy.

Ugh, this whole last week I've been doing that. It caught up with me biig time yesterday. Been lazy with work, had to get stuff done. I could barely think straight, losing control of fine motor skills! Slept from 5:00pm to 8:30am!!! and still could sleep more!!! I'm fairly young and it catches up after a week. When I start to a light sore throat I know I'm really over doing it.

That said, feel great today and will be back at it!!!
