An All-Nighter

An old trick I happened to stumble across while in graduate school when I would get jet lag from having to travel to research meetings or when I would get in an agitated mood was to stay awake all night, doing quiet, mundane things and then working a normal day the next day.

These all night sessions would very often reset my mood and help me get out of the lag or out of the doldrums. I have read theories about it possibly resetting some sort of circanular or more likely circadian rhythm in the brain, but it is as yet unproven. All I have is my own anecdotal evidence.

I shall try this out tonight for the malaise that has befallen me.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
