Ayyy, sleep deprivation buddy! I've been up since 5 AM and feel like absolute death. :)

Yeaaaaaah I wish that sleep deprivation was a pain I hadn’t felt in years…

One thing that I haven’t seen people talk about when dealing with sleep deprivation is how your digestive system slows down or gets grumblier. I’d imagine those who suffer from IBS would get it worse when they can’t sleep. As for me, I find treating myself as if I’m sick can help: warm broth and crackers and other simple, easy to digest foods can settle my stomach after a sleepless night
