Rhapsody in TET

[Nakena]

Students don’t sleep. They stay up for weeks on end surviving off coffee and energy drinks until their body fails and they pass out for a fortnight.

In my case, it wasn't coffee and energy drinks; I take medication since I suffer from extreme lack of sleep, and (against my better judgment, in hindsight) I stopped taking my meds for a while so that I could pull all-nighters.

Sounds like quite a wild ride.

I mean, my grades were (and still are) great, but emotionally by the end of it, I was an utter wreck.

An Asian college student getting 4 hours of sleep? How luxurious of you.

I must be pretty weak then I guess. I stayed up without sleep for roughly 48 hours and then I collapsed and woke up with a flu :/

I currently have a documentary about the history of the aerospace industry running in the background. It's rather interesting, in my view at least.

I just got home and slept for about 8 million fucking years. I don't even remember getting into bed. I'm beginning to feel like a rap god narcoleptic.

I once went through one exam week with less than 12 hours of sleep total. By the end of the week I went nearly 40 hours without sleep and fell asleep on the commute home. Missed my stop and had to take another jeep to get home buy I swear that one hour I slept on the jeep was BLISS.

Thank goodness this week is gonna be over soon. I can't wait to get to my single room on Monday, and maybe then I can finally get sleeps that are not less than 3 hours.

Let me correct myself: Less than 3 hours of "sleep".

But yeah... power naps are your friend; you don't usually get loooooong rests.

Longest I have survived was 26 hours - project, THEN going to a family buffet. I legit thought I would fall asleep whilst eating.

Oh, right, your room was used for coronavirus quarantine. You said that in the Templin Discord, IIRC.

Oh yeah, that one! I forgot to tell everyone that it was because of quarantine itself; a few thought I got the virus, which is understandable given my phrasing. ^^;

Also University is where you are trying your very, VERY best to keep your grades afloat. I'm not in any immediate danger, nor I want to be the Top Student, but... a C or a B, and an occasional A, will be good for these two terms.

What a lightweight. I have stayed awake for over 30 hours straight flying from the US to China and back.

You could say that literally.

Don't worry, I don't have eating disorders; it's more of... you know you don't gain no matter how much you eat. Okay, maybe gain a little, but not a lot.

I don't sleep on planes so I am awake for the entire journey. I have taken night flights from Shanghai to Singapore and back at midnight and the flight arrives at like six in the morning. I don't sleep on those flights either.

Nothing more fun then falling asleep on the bus and ending up at the terminus. Nothing more fun...

Sleeping on a plane is a gamble. I tried my best not to, because either you will have a sore neck, or you will feel like crap because it's too cold, or BOTH. It's always both.

So... good that you don't! ><

How do you do that? I think I've managed to stay awake during my entire journey on the bus while coming home from college during holidays, but all I did was getting lost in imagination or playing my handphone.

Of course! That's how much I love public transportation.

I have spent 12 hours on a layover at Singapore Changi Airport. Singapore's one of the very few airports I would spend an entire day layover.

Everyone loves buses, aside from those currently riding them.

Anyway, I'm going to be leaving now. Farewell, everyone!

When Youtubers start doing shopping hauls related entirely to CoVID. Oh dear.

Right now, I'm waiting for Nakena to send their Discord Tag, so I guess I'll take parting words/advice.
