The PhD nap

I have fallen prey to the PhD nap. It is a downward spiral, that is difficult to come out of. It all starts with that one extra-long afternoon nap. Next thing you know, you are up until 5 in the morning. Rinse. Repeat. For the next few days, it is a battle to correct my sleep cycle.

Yes, this is where I find myself.

Perhaps it would work more to my advantage if I actually turned those twilight hours into productive work hours. One day I'll get there. For now I am just trying to survive until the end of this semester. If I come out with my head above water (or the covers for that matter) I know I'll be okay.

It's 1:16 am and sleep doesn't seem to be lurking anywhere about. Perhaps tonight I will be a productivity machine. Or maybe I'll just watch Netflix instead!
