the average day for an MIT student

The reason why I do all my work at night is because I have classes late in the morning - that way it’s more productive if I stay awake for long stretches of time, rather than work, break, work, break. On mondays and wednesdays, my classes start at 1.00pm, so since I sleep 6 hours, I sleep at 7.00am. That way - long undisturbed periods of work.

Afternoons studying don’t work because I get so distracted.

I used to have an idealistic dream of sleeping 8 hours everyday …convincing everyone to do so. Until I came here.
