Perhaps I've discussed this before, but let me reiterate: NAPS ARE SO IMPORTANT.

I'm not generally a fan of naps because they compromise my sleep schedule (such as it is). But sometimes, that 60-minute power nap changes the game up. True story: I didn't sleep much last night, because that's the way it goes sometimes. This afternoon, I got two papers back from George Chauncey, skimmed the comments, saw negativity, and almost quit graduate school. This was at approximately 4:00. I then laid down for a few minutes. At 4:15, after I awoke, I looked again at the comments. Turns out, I did fine. But pre-nap, my perspective was so off that all I could see was, "YOU SUCK." Which really was, "YOU ARE EXHAUSTED." But it took a nap to make that clear. And now I can stay in my PhD program. As I say, sometimes NAPS ARE SO IMPORTANT.
