It’s been a whirlwind few weeks at work, with travel to such exotic locales as Des Moines and Dallas and a couple of nights of next to no sleep. Having started my career as an investment banking analyst, a role notorious for its neverending high pressure and many sleepless nights, it’s hard for me to imagine now how I did that for so many years. Maybe it’s part of getting older, or maybe I burned out a little too hard those first few years, but nowadays I need a lot of sleep. A few all-nighters will mess me up in a way that takes me a week to recover from.
