As an undergrad, I probably averaged 5.5 hours a sleep a night during the week and totally shot my sleep schedule to hell during paper writing season. When I hit Year 5 though, I'd had enough. I discovered that sleeping 7 hours a night felt amazing and as a bonus my coworkers stopped telling me I looked tired on a daily basis. Sleep apparently made me more attractive. Win!
Now I'm back in school, and the deal with grad school is that I could totally find work to fill every hour of every day. There are papers to read, notes to review, experiments to think about, exams to take. I could actually do all the required reading on time, deeply understand the papers I'm assigned for my discussion paper, become an expert in my field, and apply for every fellowship imaginable.
Just because it's possible to fill every moment with school doesn't mean it's advisable. I don't stress as easily when I sleep, which makes me happier. Grad school takes five years, and I'm determined to be a happy, less stressed, and get enough sleep.
On that note, it's time for bed.
