	'Fraid you are wrong, pal. In fact, lack of sleep time can really
wreck a relationship that's already established. Myself, I need alot of
sleep and I get up very early - it's not fair for ME to be the one who
loses sleep while the other person can sleep much later in the morning.
Sacrificing sleep for a date can mean that I'll get sick, and losing more
sleep means I won't get better, either. This happens just as easily when
you live with a person who keeps different hours, and it's a real problem.
And yes, my sleep time is VERY important, because it determines my general
health and productivity. Not many things short of a major crisis are
worth that.
