So I've got a question for those who may have done some more enduring schedules and I'd like to ask around in case advice can be taken. I've been working some pretty difficult schedules, to the point where I'm starting to run out of time on daylight. There's definitely some procrastinative habits I could take out, and some social shutdowns I could do as well (and probably will do this coming week) but above anything I just want to take a week and just...fix absolutely everything. The problem is that my schedule is even busier than the past few weeks, with a lot of nights going extremely late and then still having to study. So I raise this question because it's context for my needs; How long has anyone here gone without sleep? What did you notice about it? I've done 40 hours or so this semester, but I'm thinking...well, honestly I don't know if it sounds ridiculous but I was just planning on not sleeping from Monday-Friday, or until I can't anymore. I really don't necessarily feel much overtiredness unless I do nothing for a long period of time, and class concerns can easily be diverted with coffee at the current time, it's more that I've been letting myself go to sleep just because I've felt tired. So I'd like to just try and know if there's anyone who's done anything like this. I do realize there are some health-based stipulations about this, and if you feel those are important too, I'd like to hear about them. Just the short answer is that I need to make up for lost time somehow.
