Listen, listen, tap, tap,
page after page, crap, crap,
transcribing all day long, unable to listen to songs,
and now it's the night, yawn, yawn,
hopefully I'll be in bed before dawn.
I'm on the Midnight Express tonight, and probably will be for most nights for the foreseeable future. Never mind though because one day I'm going to finish.

Thanks!
Ohh Switzerland! I used to live in Germany and I lived in a quiet of suburb of Berlin. When I was working on the thesis in the night I could walk around in the snow late at night and not see anybody!

I live in Switzerland, and at 11p.m I can not see any light in the other buildings, all people are sleeping. I feel that I am the only person in this country who is still awake. But I do my best work at night.

Hi 404. I don't control the drop from 15 to 12. It just happens sometimes, either because the inflammation in my brain is temporarily lower, or because my steroid dose is really high. And then it will usually go back to the 15 hours norm, day after day after day.
I go to bed every night around 11pm and try to go to sleep, even if I only got up 5 hours earlier! And it usually works, at least until about 4pm. Then I might potter about. Then go back to sleep some more. I sleep particularly well after 8am, though that's not an option for most folk!
Good luck.

BilboBaggins, has it changed anything to drop from 15 to 12? Do you go to bed thinking 'yeah, it's bed time' or because you feel sleepy? I did have 17-hours sleeps but only after 3-4 days of no sleep at all. It used to be ok but now I have to remind myself every night that I must sleep, because I started to see the signs of what lack of sleep can do to you. Maybe I need one of those giant cartoon hammers. :-)

404: I typically get 15 (!) hours sleep a day. But I have a really nasty neurological illness, and that's led me to sleep more and more over the years. My record is over 17 hours a day. Occasionally I drop to 12. If I have to I can last for a bit of a day on just 4 hours sleep at night. But normally I'd need to go back to sleep to get many more hours for my brain to be happy.

I've just been up, ordering final hard bound copies of my thesis :-) My corrections were approved yesterday, just over a week after my viva, so the next step is to order the fancy final version. Unfortunately my university closed its bindery a few years ago, so I've had to for a long-distance ordering option. But fingers crossed it will work out ok. I am using a specialist thesis bookbinder. I think my supervisor will faint when he sees the number of copies to be signed ;-) But I need 2 for the uni, and 2 for supervisors, and 2 for parents, and 1 for me. And after all that I thought I should get 1 spare, just in case I ever wish I'd got 1 more!

how many hours do you guys sleep a day? I have always been a nocturnal, but used to be able to make up for my sleep easily. For the last 4 months though I only seem to have 3-4 hour max sleep every night if I'm lucky, and even when I can allow myself 8 hours sleep, I end up waking up on the dot every other hour for some reason. grrrrrrrrr. Beginning to think this can't be good.

I am doing the "further avenues of research" part of my conclusion. Choo Choo!
