The Energy Budget

It was 10:00 PM. She was still working, focused on finishing a project that could easily wait until morning. She felt a second wind, a manic clarity fuelled by necessity and caffeine. But deep down, she heard the quiet alarm: she wasn't running on reserves; she was spending tomorrow's entire energy budget today. She knew the invoice for this late night would arrive mid-morning tomorrow, payable in irritability and cognitive mistakes. She closed the laptop, recognizing the dangerous, false economy of borrowing sleep from the future.
