Last night, I did a 3,000 plus word speech for a friend being inducted into a sports hall of fame in Detroit. Unfortunately, the bed I was sleeping in the night before the speech was lousy, and I got about 2-3 hours of sleep. Lack of sleep is usually a significant trigger for me, and to be frank, I was kind of struggling throughout the day prior to the speech.
When I went up to speak at 9:45pm in front of 400 people, I actually did very well. No rocking, no vertigo, no problems.
I don’t think I could’ve done that—especially under the circumstances of sleep deprivation----from 2005 thru mid-2008.
MSDXD…congratulations that you did so well when you made your speech…specially with only a small amount of sleep. I have to agree with you…sleep deprivation is probably my Worst Trigger as far as making the MAV symptoms worse.
