Lack of Sleep.

As a busy person, I have been always working on several tasks simultaneously and eventually I don't get enough time to sleep. Those they were my colleague in Iran know me as a hard worker and none-stop guy. It was four years ago that I received a letter from Microsoft, appreciating my hardworking on IT and networking. At that time, I was thinking about Nerd wise life.

I was begging for a situation to work and live like Microsoft’s nerds. When I went to Canada, my dream welcomed true. I start working at a very high-tech position in an ASP company.
I was working from 8:30 AM till 1 or 2 AM. That was perfect. Doing several R&D tasks, I was extremely busy. I rarely found time to see my family and friends. Last June there was a communication issue between Vancouver and Vietnam VoIP routes. I spent almost 19 hours per day to solve that issue. As a person with bad headaches, sleep depriving is not a good
Option. Recently I have been sleeping even lower than 4 hours per 24 hours. Frequently I read some articles about the disadvantages of sleep depriving. I’m looking for a way to coordinate my tasks with the time that I have. Your comments are highly appreciated.

Vital Information:
• In a person who is sleep-deprived, one part of the brain shuts down while other parts will kick in to help compensate.
• Regardless of the brain's attempt to overcome sleep deprivation, a sleep-deprived person cannot perform mental tasks as well as someone who is well-rested.
• For brain recovery, the early part of sleep each night is the most important.
