    24 ang nagawa ko, and I have to say I don’t want to to it again. I’ve become more assertive when it comes to sleep time now. Di ko mapakawalan ang 8 hours sleep time, 1 to 4 hours if shit really needs to be done, but I still have to sleep somehow.

    On recharge time, I only remember once na natulog ako ng 6 am and woke up around 9 or 10 pm (?) that evening. Luckily I didn’t feel dizzy or anything, but quite well rested. Hungry AF tho.

    On a sort of relevant note, this was around the time I stumbled upon the sickness Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI), which is basically a disorder that can be passed down wherein the affected person dies slowly because they can’t sleep.

    Experts estimate that only 100 people in 30 families across Europe, China, Japan, Australia, and the U.S. are carriers of the gene that causes this disease.

    Source is WebMD. That’s like a terrible death sentence for a family.

    Scary shit.

      Teach me your ways, master!‌ lol!

      Sarili ko pinaka-kalaban ko dito eh. Lalo na yung feeling mo you’re coming near a breakthrough and ayaw mong mawala sa groove since it’s very hard to get the mental train get going after a prolonged break (like sleep).

      Eto ata yung side-effect ng na-train sa cramming, lol! Yung lahat na lang halos dinadaan sa overnight at pag-pigil ng tulog: notebooks (na sinusubmit sa teacher), projects, thesis.

      But yeah, I know one has to be assertive and disciplined when it comes to sleep (part of a healthy sleep hygiene). Kaso mas di hamak siyang madaling sabihin kaysa gawin.

      That’s really terrible indeed. I’d probably just off myself if I find myself to be in such a situation.
