Sleep Deprivation and Vending Machine Trouble
A couple of nights ago I put a buck twenty-five into a soda machine at work, made my selection (Mountain Dew Severe), and the bottle changed positions a little, but didn’t fall.
“What the hell?!” I shouted, in outrage. Then I put my shoulder down, and rammed the machine like De’Cody Fagg.
But, of course, there’s never a positive outcome to such a scenario. Once the vending sequence is completed, successfully or otherwise, there’s no going back. Robert Goddard, the father of modern rocketry, wrote extensively on this subject.
So, I growled like a dog, and moved to another machine. I’d be paying $2.50 for a bottle of soda, which broiled my brisket, but I needed a cold, caffeinated beverage, dammit.
The other machine didn’t have any Mountain Dews in it, so I chose a Lipton iced tea with lemon. And the thing dispensed a solid block of ice in the shape of a bottle. I’m not kidding, I could’ve used that tea to defend myself, in case of attack.
“Am I on Candid Camera?” I shouted inside the break room, to people who couldn’t care if I live or die. What was I going to do with this thing? It was a teaberg! Grrr…
No way was I going to pay $3.75 for a drink, this ain’t San Francisco. So I just sighed and walked back to my desk, with an enlarged, rock-hard blunt instrument in my hand. And I’m talking about the iced tea, just to be clear…
I sat the thing on my desk, underneath a lamp, and wondered how long it would take to thaw out. It was roughly 3:20 pm when I purchased it, and wanted to make a note of when there was no visible ice left inside the bottle.
Anyone care to guess?
At one point I decided to remove the lid, thinking that might speed up the process. But it was a mistake. A column of brown ice kept inching its way upward, then melting down the sides of the bottle. So I had a sticky mess on my hands, as well. Call me a radical, but I’m not really a fan of gloopy, sticky workspaces.
I don’t have any prizes to give away, except bragging rights, I guess. But tell me when you think my plastic bottle of Lipton iced tea was finally ice free. At what time of night, after its purchase at 3:20? Use the comments link below.
And I overslept again today. I’m operating with a severe sleep deficit, and have bags under my eyes that’ll never go away. Yeah, they’re permanent by now…
When I’m working I hit the sack around 3:30 am, and the alarm starts bugging the hell out of me at 9:30. So, I get six hours on a good night. I do get caught-up a little on the weekends, but not enough.
What about you? Do you get much more than six hours per night? I think that’s pretty normal nowadays. And weren’t we supposed to be living a life of leisure by now, with flying-cars and robot maids and whatnot? Wotta rip-off!
So, please guess the melting time of my iced tea, and tell us about your sleep habits, if you wanna. And I’ll be back with something more substantial tomorrow.
See you guys then!

Wow!!! that was onew hell of a ride!
I got nuthin’
10:14 PM
Nummer one?
Never. It thawed at never. Or 3:21.
Bored shitless.
Seems like a trick question… Probably still frozen
I’ll say 8:25pm.
Yea, top 10!!
A guess at the required melting time for the bottle of iced tea: 8 hours, so 11:20 pm.
I woulda stuck with the same machine, and purchased the same product, and maybe two Dews woulda come out, the new one knocking the initial one loose, and both falling. So you wouldn’t have lost any cash in the deal. But then again, there coulda been something permanently wrong with the Dew-delivery mechanism, and you might’ve lost $2.50 with nothing to show for it (not even an enlarged, hard, blunt object).
And my guess is that the tea never melted last night, but you’ll arrive at work this evening to find that it has finally melted.
And six hours sleep per night is not enough. You’re gonna get cancer or heart disease from your body not having enough time to rejuvenate each night. And it’s not possible to make up for it on weekends. You gotta get 8 hours a night, or you’re gonna die an early death, my friend.
I’ll go out on a limb and say the drink took ~8 hours to melt. Difficult to accurately predict without the dimensions of the container, the type of surface it was siting on, wattage of the light etc.
In the future it might interest you to know that it will melt a lot faster if you put it in warm water. Air is not the best thermal conductor, but water is much better.
Jeff says
“I’m operating with a severe sleep deficit, and have bags under my eyes” … if your nose was dick shaped you’d REALLY have something to talk about…
I’m with Swami on this one: I don’t think the tea was completely melted before you left work.
I get eight hours of sleep per night. Sometimes more on the weekends. This is made possible by the fact that we ain’t got no young’ns. .
if this was the Price is Right, I’d be the prick that says 10:15, 8:26 or 11:21
12:18 AM?
I get to bed around 19 PM, wake up at 3:15 AM…it’s never enough.
I’m with Tyrosine but I would venture to say it was completely thawed the moment you were getting ready to leave. About 6 hours for me and I am a light sleeper. And what the hell does San Francisco have to do with the price of a soda? You pay the same amount anywhere in the US so stop picking on SF. Some of my best friends live there. Oh god, I’m back on the commentator board. Must shut up! Comment more people, I am not going to be #1 again.
12:13 AM.
I sleep too much, and then I don’t. I do alright. I’m looking into a permanent no sleep schedule. I might be fixing myself into a yurt type situation for some learnding. A high tech yurt, but yurt-ish none-the-less.
10:17 pm. Mark it, dude.
I sleep like ass. 2 hours, awake for an hour, 2 more, awake, finally really get to sleep and the damn alarm goes off. Got my very own prescription for Ambien just this morning. One more thing to get addicted to, I guess.
But y’all will be the first to know if I do anything ridiculous like drive in my sleep, kill my boss, etc.
Betcha you still had ice floaters by the time you left. Especially if it was hard as a…..blunt object.
Funny you should talk about sleep since last night had to be one of the worst nights I’ve had in a while. My allergies have been going wild and keeping me from a normal life lately. I picked up my Allegra-D from the pharmacy. So…like addict that needed a fix, I took the shit at 8PM last night and was WIDE AWAKE ALL FUCKING NIGHT! I watched three movies from midnight to 6AM. Jumpin’ Jeezum Crow!! My eyes feel like two pee holes in the sand. I don’t have bags…I have luggage.
And by the way…you can never “make up” lost snooze time. What’s gone is gone my friend. Zzzzzzzzzzz….
I aim for 8 hours of sleep every night. Most nights I accomplish that.
I can’t function without at least 6.
And I like to take naps on Saturday. Hell, I like to take naps any day. Now that I have my own office at work, I’m thinking about bringing in a pillow and blanket and taking a siesta at lunchtime.
Mr.Man says once I’m asleep I sleep like I’m dead. Very little will wake me.
I once fell asleep in church and slept like a baby until my head snapped back and I let out a loud “SNORK!”…
My friends said they tried to wake me up but nothing worked.
As for the melting of the tea…I’m going with 10:33 PM.
8 hours whether I need it or not. And I SLEEP, baby. It’s more like Death Lite than sleep, really. Since we got the Tempurpedic, it’s even worse. I don’t think a smoke alarm would wake me up.
My guess is the same as Tryrosine.
And, yeah, why pick on San Francisco, fer chrissakes?! This ain’t Manhattan!
Happy Wednesday, Surfers!
Thaw time = 10:30p.
I’m definitely sleep deprived and feeling it. I hate waking up tired and fantasizing about taking the day off, not to get errands done, or work on my taxes, or just do something fun, etc., but just to sleep. Uninterrupted, drug-induced, coma-like, dreamless sleep.
651 pm
Six hours of sleep is a good night for me on week nights. I always _intend_ to get to bed earlier but it never seems to happen. Once we get the brood off to bed, we like a few hours of “us” time (ie: sitting on the couch on our respective laptops). I sleep like a baby once I hit the pillow though. It practically takes an act of congress to wake my ass up. When given the opportunity, I can snooze for 10 or 12 hours easily. Mr. Saucy doesn’t know how I can do it. He sleeps badly anyway, but never for more than a few hours at a time. Sucks to be him…
As for the lump-o-tea.. I’m guessing about 10 hours which would put it at roughly 1:20 AM.
Just realized it’s national girl scout week. I will not be so crass to suggest I am going to celebrate by eating a brownie.
Boy oh boy, I googled “thaw rate” thinking I could cheat at this little contest. Apparently the big money is in bovine semen thaw rates and its affects on quality and not 20 oz. sodas. So I’ll just say 4:20 since that’s my favorite time of the day. I just wish the lazy bastards would keep my diet Mountain Dew stocked in the effin machine, it’s always sold out.
To quote Trish I also “sleep like ass”. Went to bed last night at 10 pm with a nice little buzz from 4 beers going. I woke up and figured it was 3:30 a.m. because that’s the time I normally wake up in the middle of the night but no it was 1:30, only thing I can think of is that’s about the time the beer wore off. I try to get 7-8 hours but usually will survive with 6. Any less than 6 and I ain’t getting out of bed.
Come on Shiny I liked it when you were leading the board with 400 comments! Actually since you brought it up I wish Jeff would do away with it, it makes me a little self concious and have wondered if it doesn’t do the same to some of the other commentors.
I love the comment board. Makes me feel important.
“Apparently the big money is in bovine semen thaw rates”
I heard you can gamble on it in Vegas.
I am posting here so I can pass Jason’s sorry ass on the Top Commentors listing. Eat my dust Jason!
Hey, I just passed Shiny Rod, too! I only need about 4 or 5 more to pass JCIII….
This is a lot of fun!
The “Iced” tea never melted, did it?
Good Afternoon Surf Reporters…..
I too, like WBinOH, tried to google approximate answers. Didn’t find anything suitable in a short period of time, and certainly didn’t find anything pertaining to frozen bull semen.
My guess the iced tea was fully thawed at 7:55 pm, almost a full 4 hours later. Why 7:55 pm? Why not… I just pulled a random time outta my ass.
As far as sleep patterns go, lately I’ve been getting some quality shut eye. 3 days out of the week I work a 12 hour stint, so when I get home, I’m pretty close to zonking out. Last night as an example; home just after 9pm, drank 2 quick beers and was asleep before 10. Woke this morning right before 7. Almost a complete 9 hours.
Other nights, I’m not so fortunate, especially if I’m playing poker on-line. Time really slips past you then. About a month ago, I got on a winning streak, lost all track of time. Next thing I know, it was quarter til 6 in the morning and I had to be at work at 9. That was not a good day.
Here’s a link to “Relationship between final temperature, thaw rate and quality of bovine semen”. It’s worth a look just for start of the second paragraph, how many times will you ever run across that in an article.

Having the lamp on it throws a wrench into the works, but I’m going to say there was 12hours for every last trace of ice to melt. Ice clubs take a remarkably long time to melt.
I usually make do with 7hrs or sleep. When I sleep in I’ll be lucky to get to a full 8hours without ending up wide-eyed awake.
And for Jeff’s next book he should attend this:

“Bull semen and the human spirit”
10:00 pm
I’ve been working night shift for 20 years working at a 7 on 7 off schedule so my sleep schedule is totally screwed up. Once you lose the sleep you never really ‘catch up’ My guess is 7am
I dont get nearly enough sleep. Being a stay at home home and mother of 5 I am truly lucky if I get 5 hours of sleep a night and that is 7 days a week. I normally wake up totally thinking that after I get the kids to school and ect I Will lay back down and sleep some more but I rarely do. Always way too much to do and never enough time teo do it.
Is when the tea melted.
A bowl of corn motherfuckers!
Tea was melted at 9:23 PM.
7:17pm
Well, the bottle does say, “iced tea”. What were you expecting? Liquid tea? Something you could readily drink? Haha..noob!
I prefer to get a good 8 hours of sleep per night. I’ll agree with a previous poster…those Tempur-pedic mattresses are a dream. I’ve never had a better nights sleep.
I don’t like the top commentators thing either. Through self control I finally managed to drop off the list this week.
Why didn’t you just run the closed bottle under some hot water?
Oh! Everybody get on over to Buzzard Billy’s blog site or FB page and wish her a Happy Birthday or she’ll be around to pick at yer carcus!
That’s funny, I just wrote about tea on my blog today too. You should check it out.
I love frozen drinks – kinda like have a popsicle or slurpee. If you don’t like it that way you could always run it under hotwater to melt it quicker.
10:18
I sure hope we’re still not talking about bull semen.
I just spurted.
If i could remember when I went to bed the night before, I could say with certainty how many hours sleep I get a night. Let’s just put it at ‘as many as humanely possible’ and leave it at that.
11:42 pm for total meltage. SCIENCE!
8:44pm to cube-free tea
It’s a trick question. He never waited for it to melt.
By 4:20 he was chewing his tea. $3.75 ?!
It surprised the hell out of me when I made top 10 contributors – I was being rewarded for being a volume dealer. Prior to that I thought it was some sort of rating system Jeff was using for his faves – silly ass me. Mr Kay is an enabler for my exhibitionist rantings (all good managers deflect blame).
I would have cut off the bottle half way up and hung it from the ceiling and lick lick lick like a hamster bottle ….What, they don’t encourage creativity where you work?
Sleep wise I try to get a good 16 hours but often get only 7 supplemented by a glorious weekend nap. But I do sleep very soundly – it’s probably due to the blood rushing to my head. I sleep upside down like a bat wearing a pair of inversion boots…naked…my kids never hold sleepovers anymore.
I get about 2 hours less sleep a night than I need and it’s aging the hell out of me. I don’t go to bed when I should because I can’t stand to think that I’m spending more waking hours at work than at home.
Bikerchick’s “My eyes feel like two pee holes in the sand” is a classic! I nominate for best line of the day.
You bought an ‘ice tea’ and you are surprised it is ice? You should only bitch if it was warm.
I guess it took 3 hrs and 20 minutes to thaw.
I am a terrible sleeper. I sleep for 2-3 hours and then toss and turn for the next 4-5 hours. I went to the movies this weekend (Alice in Wonderland) and my kids were mad because I was snoring during the movie.
Good Night Surf Reporters……
Hehehe…he’s bitching about the “possibility” of a $3.75 ice tea. Buck up, Jeff, I’m in Nome, Alaska, and I just filled my 9 mpg Dodge pickup with gas last night at the “cheap” gas station at $4.45 a gallon. Of course, it all evens out as I also went and bought a gallon of milk on sale for $6.00, which which usually costs me $7.79.
Your tea would taken roughly 10 hours to melt back to liquid form. How do I know that…? Because I ran out of bottled water a few nights ago and had to grab a bottle out of my wife’s car that had frozen solid after several days in the car in sub zero temperatures.By the time I got off work 8 hours later, there was still a frozen shard in the middle that appreared to have a couple hours thaw time left on it.
Of course, this could be some sorta stupid High School math story problem…Like, if a train left Chicago doing 47 mph and another train left San Francisco at 82 mph, and it was Amtrak, how many people would die in the resultant collision? Answer: It’s Amtrak…both trains would break down before they met!
@clintcurtis-
$6.00-$7.79 for a gallon of milk?!? Damn, I get upset if I have to pay more than $2.39 per gallon here in Ohio. Don’t they have cows in Alaska?
Jeff’s iced tea melt time:11:20 pm. I take a large styrofoam cup of ice and water to bed each night and the ice is totally melted after 8 hours.
You don’t get enough sleep, Jeff. I work nights too (usually 5 pm-1:30 am), go to bed around 7:30 am and get up at 3:30 pm, just in time for work. When you worked during the day, you didn’t go home at 5pm and go right to bed, did you? How many hours did you sleep when you were working days?
Yes, the ice tea…
Well, Jeff, you kinda fupked uk the experiment by opening the damn bottle, although a brief thought of fluid dynamics might have cautioned you to open it over the sink in the break room.
So I have multiple answers, some of them theoretical, some of them testable.
Had you not opened the damn bottle, and if the “lamp” is flourescent, I’ll assume an environmental ambient temp of 70 (all temps farenheit), a local ambient temp of 73 at the top of the bottle and 70.5 at the bottom. Total melt time = 8.5 hours + or – 20%.
If the lamp is 75 watts incandescent, with a closed top, I’ll assume a local ambient temp of 80 at the top of the bottle and 73 at the bottom.
Total melt time = 6.5 hours + or – 20%.
However, as I said, you opened the damn bottle. How much ice tea escaped? Who knows? I’m going to assume 10% escaped (and, of course all the pressure). So…
Now you have less frozen tea to melt, but the top of the tea is farther from the lamp, and plastic is a poor conductor. It makes no intuitive sense, but the numbers I come up with are the same as for the full, pressurized bottle. I ran them twice, and it can’t be true, but it is, if all my assumptions are correct. So, here are the answers, based on my calculations:
**********************************************************
flourescent lamp: 11:50 PM + or – 20%
75 watt incandescent, closed-top lamp: 9:50 PM + or – 20%
Let’s just throw away the rest of the probability curve and say 11:50 PM for flourescent and 9:50 PM for 75 watt incandescent.
**********************************************************
.
Note 1: It’s ICED TEA. No need to wait until all the damn ice is melted.
Note 2: Running the bottle under hot water (figure 140 degrees at the water heater, 130 degrees at the tap) should melt 90% of the ice in slightly under five minutes.
Note 3: I still don’t believe that my calculations for closed vs opened/closed turned out exactly the same. This might require some emperical testing. Could you specify the capacity of the bottle (I was assuming a 20 ounce bottle) and whether it was regular or diet?
Last Note: So, based on my calcs, you didn’t fup uk the experiment after all. Fuckin’ amazing.

10 to 12 hours a night for me and the missus. The average was 10 before the invention of the electric light. TV pushed us below 8, now it sounds like the internet is heading us for 6.
We put the baby to bed around 8 and follow shortly. Screw Jay Leno.
carol, it’s polar bear milk. any climatologist will tell you that they are endangered and therefore rare. and any zoologist will tell you that they are mean as Sunshine especially when nursing. therefore the expense.
simple eco-nomics.
You might have had a big mess taking that top off, since water expands slightly on freezing. Absent any outside forces (hair dryer, etc), I’d say that sucker was still frozen when you left.
Since I have been working shifts for 27 years (not counting 4 years in the USAF) I don’t know what a good night’s sleep is. I get 5 hours, maybe. What’s a poor public sector employee to do?
Then there are the most-of-the-night guitar pulls. So it goes.

We were talking about the price of milk and freezing and polar bears so there is a loose (very loose) thread that connects…
Real life is throwing another body block on my ass, and I might not be able to update until Friday morning. I’ll try to get it done later today, but just in case….
Sorry, but everything’s getting all complicated over here.
If there’s no update today it’s no big deal. But, we can’t be left hanging on the frozen iced tea situation.

“carol, it’s polar bear milk”
Well, hell, why didn’t he say that in the first place?!?! That explains the high cost! Heh, heh …trying to imagine milking a polar bear…
Hey Clintcurtis + T-storm, I have lived in Nunavut, NWT and the Yukon… Currently in Squamish/Whistler (love it here for adventure)- food is not fun up there in the North – makes me appreciate what i have when i’m not there. But i seem to have a heart for the Arctic. You don’t live there for the culinary experience for sure – more for the adventure – we can eat later.
Not Oprah,
Did you live in Iqaluit, or one of the “smaller” cities? That must have been quite an experience. Are you part of the First Nation, or a fisherwoman, or an adventuress? You know, I might have that last word wrong. I meant someone who seeks adventure. Of course, that wouldn’t disqualify you from being an adventuress, but that’s not what I was asking.
jtb
Gretchen,
Hope you are feeling well.
Hey, come on and live a little. I know I’m dancing just below the bottom of the Ten Most Wanted, and I’m seeing how close I can get to the list without hitting number 10. It’s a real rush for me, but I’m at the age where thrills come pretty cheap.
Besides, your posts are clever and cogent and I miss them. I suspect others do as well.
jtb
Yo Jtb, Lived in Kugluktuk. Been to Cambridge. I’m an adventure girl. Just like to meet people. Professional acct but like to experience life. Loved the friends who I met up there. Into kayaking and snowboarding, mtn biking et al… Always love your life… Think I need to go back to school though or teach…
Not Oprah,
Yo, yo. As an old guy, my advice is to go as fast as you can as long as you can; then when you can’t go fast any more, get married or go into accounting. I guess that would make it full circle for you. Not that it’s my business.
But your life sounds good, which is more than most people in the States can say. Nice to talk with you.
jtb
jtb not sure what you mean. why are you so bitter?
N. O.,
I don’t feel particularly bitter. I don’t think I said anything mystical either. I suppose it’s about economics…
When I was single (both times) I had a pretty small footprint. I could decide to move to Philadelphia for a year, then to take six months off and live on sand dollars on the Pacific coast of WA, then rent a cheap apartment in Seattle and work for a while, then move to a small cabin way the hell up Lake Chelan.
It rarely works that way in a committed relationship. It can, but typically people live up to their incomes, so they pool their dough and buy instead of rent, and put down roots. To say nothing of the kids, which I didn’t need but most people want. Then, when one wants to pack up for two months and ski Wyoming (or BC), the other one can’t get that much time off work and we (collectively) slowly spiral into a much slower gear. Or bounce from relationship to relationship, which seems to me a better option, which is why I recommended it.
Damn, long answer. Sorry about that.
jtb
We should take this offline though. I’m sure no one else is particularly interested. I just have nothing else better to do at the moment. But live on the West Coast so can argue for a while if you wish.
I agree we should take it offline. And I didn’t know we were arguing. It is nice to fine somebody else up at this time of night, though.
I probably got carried away at any rate. You sounded a little like me 30 years ago, so I offered my perspective, but, of course, the chances that you’re like me 30 years ago are lottery-type odds against.
I always enjoy your comments so I conversed, and you noticed before I did that nobody else on this site could possibly care about this conversation.
Have a nice night, and rent “Zero Effect” soon. Nice movie and it says what I was trying to say more cohesively. On my favorites list it’s just below “Casablanca” and “The Thin Man” and just above “The Maltese Falcon”.
Cheers…jtb
Or rent “Slings and Arrows” (all three series: 18 episodes) or listen to Janis Joplin sing “Get It While You Can”. It’s all in there somewhere…

just read your posts. i want to subscribe to your newsletter. i’m currently the single guy bouncin’ town to town, up and down the dial (i’m livin’ on the air in cincinnati). but am currently dating a girl at the tail end of a failed marriage with a 2 yr old being told that if this is who i am then it won’t work, etc. of course the apology comes a day later but not after thinking that you’ve failed again.
sorry, went a little too far there. i’m currently drinking at the st. louis airport on my way to louisville for the funeral of the best grandma ever.
t -
My condolences. I lost my grandparents long ago and still miss them. My Dad died last May at 92 and, although he had a long and good life, I miss him every day. So my thoughts will be with you.
A guy with a chaotic life like mine probably shouldn’t be publishing a newsletter about relationships. It would be like Richard Nixon advising people on how to tell the truth.
Again, sorry to hear about your grandmother.
best wishes…
jtb
jtb,
thanks. i’ll miss her, but i’ll miss the woman i knew and how i knew her. climbing to the top of iroquois park in louisville. i’m glad she died before they took her legs. she would have died anyway. the woman would make hilary look like a housewife.
i don’t know. maybe your advice could guide people. either way.

I lay down for about 9 which results in maybe 5 solid hours of sleep. I am a light sleeper and I am also rounding the bend to my third trimester with a huge sinus infection to top it all off. That is a recipe for one cranky bitch in the morning!
The problem, aside from the fact that I am unable to breathe through my nostrils, is that I sleep on my stomach and the future linebacker I am incubating will have none of it. In fact, if I try to roll over in my sleep he sticks out an appendage like a kickstand, thus preventing me from rolling over. Can’t blame the kid there – clever solution.
I am guessing about 4 hours or 720PM,
6 hours is what I get most of the time. I think it is adequate for me as I do not get tired, my mind is clear and I don’t need a caffeine boost to sustain me. I sounds like you need more. You might want to try a couple of tablespoons of MCT oil daily or some coconut oil (vigrin only) as these can really give your brain the energy boost it needs.
By-the-way the best post I have ever written never got the response one like this has. Bravo to you, my hat is off and I am on one bended knee.
