Man Stays Up to Delay Start of Work Week

CLEVELAND—Exhausted and palming his coffee Monday morning in the parking lot of Dynex Solutions, Gerald Schofield related the events of the prior evening to reporters. “The dread usually kicks in about 9 o’clock every Sunday”, described the 29-year-old data analyst. “I usually go to bed because that’s what you’re supposed to do, right? But I don’t sleep. I watch TV—shows I don’t even like, for hours. I might not fall asleep until four or five in the morning.” When pressed on the reason for his behavior, Schofield responded, “If I fall asleep, the next time I open my eyes it will be time… time for the work week to begin, and my weekend will be over. I hate my job.”
