Off topic is dead: Part two

[KB]

I feel like talking.

So I go to the bar tonite, its a couple of blocks up thr street. I don't know anyone here besides Jaydee who knows St Louis, but the neighborhood I live in is called Soulard, it reminds me of the French Quarter in New Orleans, and I lived in the French Quarter, in my freakin car, so I can make the comparison. Anyways, I walk to the bar, my current love happens to be a bartender and waitress there, it's good times. She says to me, "you look sleepy", I said, "I'm not sleepy just tired", and she replies, "whats the difference". I, in the next 2 seconds, manage to run through the fact (silently in my disturbed head) that my car is 1-900-MixALot up, and I can not afford that, I dislike my job so much I wish someone would stab me in the eye with a spoon so I could go home, I have a doctor telling me I have to go to a specialist because apparently I am withering away and he doesn't know what is wrong, and all I really wanted was someone to not ask me any questions tonite. I, instead of laying all of that burden out just say, "nothing I suppose", and finish my Blue Moon, on a side note any beer drinkers out there, find a Blue Moon, it is a great beer with a nice citrus taste too it.

So, the question I offer is this, do you know what the difference between tired, as I explained it, and sleepy is? What makes you "tired".

Sorry for the off topicness, have a good night, and sleep a hour or two for me.

Sleepy is ready for bed. Tired is physically worn out. I know the difference all too well. It's easy to be tired but not sleepy....it also sucks.

Tired is most definitly you ( body ) being fully overwhelmed physically and mentally over time. Real life situation's not moving the way one feel's it should can lead to being tired / worn out ( mentally ) or the sense of wanting to give up. Being worn down ( physically ) is self explanatory.

Sleepy on the other hand is just the natural everyday feeling one gets when the body needs alittle down time as stated before. It borrow's physical to describe how it impair's you but is normally remedied with a few good hour's of rest.

"sleepy" is "wanting to go to sleep". "Tired" is worn out. A rule of thumb might be "sleepy" can be generated artificially via drugs (Nyquil, etc), but "tired" has to do with having actually used up your energy, via work or stress or whatever.

Tired as you describe is a state of physical bone-wearyness and your soul being worn out from emotional and mental stress.
Bone wearyness could be compared to over-draining your ni-cad rechargeable batteries till they break and require further technical restoration.
Mere "sleep" will not cure this type of malaise in general, indeed, you probably have trouble sleeping.

I've been each; sleepy is easier to resolve.
