If you're an accountant reading this, you're probably doing so through puffy, watery eyes squinting over the rim of a mug of tar-thick java.
Because, you see, you're knackered.
Pooped.
Bushed.
Tuckered.
Very, very sleepy.
Go on: have a big yawn and a stretch.
In fact, take a power nap. I'll wait for you...

Still jaded? I'm not surprised.
Travelodge has told me how little shut-eye you get each night: an average of only six hours and 24 minutes - well below the oft-quoted minimum of eight hours.
The reason, says the budget hotel chain, that accountants don't currently get more kip is because of restlessness brought on by 'money worries and the credit crunch biting'.
Fear not, however: you are not alone.
Estate agents, lorry drivers, cabbies, bankers and builders are all spending as little or even less time in the Land of Nod because they too are laying awake fretting about the economy and the pressures of work.
Me, I'm feeling nigh-refreshed.
According to Travelodge's new survey findings, media types enjoy an average nightly slumber of seven hours and and 12 minutezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
