Spank Deprivation

I came across the term "spank-deprived" over on Erica's blog this week. When I hear that phrase, it makes me think of sleep-deprived. As I thought about it, there are a lot of similiarities to being sleep-deprived and spank-deprived.

From Wikipedia:
Sleep deprivation is the condition of not having enough sleep; it can be either chronic or acute. A chronic sleep-restricted state can cause fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness, and weight loss or weight gain. It adversely affects the brain and cognitive function. Few studies have compared the effects of acute total sleep deprivation and chronic partial sleep restriction. Complete absence of sleep over long periods is impossible for humans to achieve (unless they suffer from fatal familial insomnia); brief microsleeps cannot be avoided. Long term total sleep deprivation has caused death in lab animals.


Now let's change a few words here and see how it still fits:
Spank deprivation is the condition of not having enough spankings; it can be either chronic or acute. A chronic spank-restricted state can cause fatigue, daytime moodiness, clumsiness, and humor loss or tension gain. It adversely affects the brain and cognitive function. Few studies have compared the effects of acute total spank deprivation and chronic partial spank restriction. Complete absence of spankings over long periods is possible for humans to achieve (unless they suffer from self spanksomnia); brief spanking daydreams cannot be avoided. Long term total spank deprivation has caused death.

The similarities are weird, huh?

Here are some side effects that lack of sleep or spanking may result in:

-aching muscles ... Don't let your rear end atrophy!
-confusion, memory lapses or loss ...Is that why tops ask so many questions? They are trying to exercise our minds?
-depression
-hallucinations ...See spanking daydreams above.
-hand tremors ... That gives a top having an "itchy palm" a whole new meaning!
-headaches
-increased blood pressure
-increased stress hormone levels ...Not getting that stress relief spanking is a bummer.
-irritability ... YA THINK??
-temper tantrums (No joke, that was really listed on Wikipedia!)

However, if you are spank deprived or sleep deprived, I've found that a spanking is a great cure for insomnia. They really should add that to the sleep literature... Way to kill two birds with one stone. Sweet dreams.
