While doing my MS, I worked as well, and working in architecture offices is no joke. 7 days (well as I worked part time I could go to school as well), and sometimes up to 24 hours. <BR/>And when I was writing my thesis; which involved a stressful and tiring field work, and on top spending 4 months on the death bed of my grandfather, trying to make sure nothing will happen to my grandmother in the process, staying awake (sleeping with one eye open) for four months, listening to the breaths of my grandparents, making sure that noone dies during their sleeps, and that no one gets up for bathroom without my attendance, and then for 2-3 months staying with my grandmother to make sure she is OK and that she gets used to living alone- my manic problems (as in manic depressive) have started. I had too much energy. I couldn't sleep. Yet I had too much energy to be able to sit and write. no concentration. At times like that you need either to tire out your brain and body, or take some medication. <BR/>and being an expert on sleeping schemes (studying architecture in one of the most difficult faculties of the middle east, and probably Europe, I remember crying for sleeping for 4 hours instead of 2) I can tell you that energy drinks and caffeine consumes your energy and prevents you from concentrating after some time. They make me shake, and make me nervous. SO they should be used with caution because the feeling they give is fake. You can focus your body and energy on anything you want but for that you should train yourself. It is like the schaman using drugs (or tobacco) to be able to focus their energy at one point, release their soul from the restraints of the body. But you can do that without narcotics or caffeine. Being a sofi, I have managed that. It is less harmful for you brain, liver or kidneys;)denizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16711576756592759288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455846368799888929.post-91919312336934898592008-04-22T13:07:00.000-07:002008-04-22T13:07:00.000-07:00It's not time.
