Two things are synonymous with graduate school: stress, and unhealthy habits.
To illustrate this concept I have 3 papers and a presentation due in less than 48 hours, and an IRB application that must be finished by tomorrow. Instead of working on them I am writing a blog while eating some cheesecake that I found in the adjacent office. Grad school renders common sense and willpower obsolete in the face of impending deadlines. In grad school regularlly sleeping less than 5 or 6 hours a night is not uncommon. Thankfully, my peers and I are not in a program like nursing or vet school where sleeping less than 5 or 6 hours a night is the norm.
