I have been driving my bike on a temporary permit now for about 6 months, my permit is up for renewal again next week and i decided that i have learned to ride the bike well enough to probably pass fairly easily. Only problem being the exam is only given one day a week at 7AM. We all know 7AM and I rarely meet. So i actually got up and went. Now running on 3 hours of sleep I get there to find out they cancelled for the day as the track was ‘wet.’ I mean, don’t roads get wet? So I went on with my day trying to be productive since I was up early anyway, I also planned to get my haircut. I said, do something different for a change. Little did i know that my sleep deprived brain was also running low on good judgement. I think sleep deprivation is a lot like drinking alcohol. The first thing to go is your judgment. I walked out glad I had a helmet to cover up my head, and hoping maybe by the time I got home it would be gone.

So just like we try and not go to the grocery store hungry, I’m also making sure not to get my haircut without proper sleep.
