Condition at Stage Three is moderate, recommendation is 8 or more hours of uninterrupted sleep. If this is not immediately possible, subjects are encouraged to find a couch or quiet corner of a library for brief napping....
The good news is that--for better or worse--by 5 pm this evening I'll have two of my still-outstanding assignments out of the way (a syllabus complete with teaching introduction and course rationale, and a set of journal entries on films and selected critical readings) and can look forward to a (hopefully) full night's rest. Who-hoo! After that there's one week of intense effort writing a take home essay exam and a conference length research paper; then I'm scott-free for the semester with one year of grad school under my belt and a Summer of significantly relaxed academic pressures to look forward to. The only question now is, how can I get my blasted fingers to start hitting the right keys again so I can finish up this course rationale for my pedagogy class?

I know this comment is WAY late, but I didn't think you were posting anymore, so I hadn't checked your blog in a long time. This entry is hilarious! I can hear you saying the words yo wrote. Love you, Tina
Thankfully, I read your informative post on the third stage of sleep deprivation. Now, I know how to be better prepared for the symptoms and how to counteract such symptoms. Good luck with your assignments and congratulations to your first year of grad school. Looking forward to the next post.
