Recapping Last Quarter Part 1

t geSo for all the people who asked and for those of you who forgot to ask, med school for me was tough. At least the first quarter was. I think the worst parts were not being able to sleep. Not because I didn't have time to, but rather sleep simply wouldn't come. And it would screw me over more and more. Let's say I plan to get 6 or 5 hours. So I go to bed around 12 (the whole time I am tired as hell). But when you don't fall asleep until 2:30 or 3, and you have to wake up at 5:30, then you either oversleep, in which case you lost study time or miss classes, or you wake up like a zombie. Either way you are screwed. I remember some times when I was ultra tired, I would lay down to sleep, but I could feel a huge pulse on my neck. The sound of my carotid pulse would deafen my world. I believe that is stress related, but I'm sure some one else (Umar Khokhar) can tell me if it is otherwise.
