I’ve become more assertive when it comes to sleep time now.

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 like a terrible death sentence for a family.

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