You'd think, with all the stories that you hear about med school, that I would be the one making Naomi and I sleep crazy hours. A life lesson: residency tops school for awkward sleeping habits. Prior to October 31, Naomi and I were getting up at an unreasonable 5:45 every morning tired as all hell. As of Nov 1, we are now staying up as late as possible so that she can survive her all night shifts in the ER. Throw in daylight savings and you get some tired kids. It's 9:30 and Naomi is pre-sleeping for her shift. I'm sitting around stinking from anatomy lab, working up the courage to force myself to be up for another couple of hours before I allow the gentle arms of exhaustion take me into their embrace. Man, I wish that were right now.
Newest fun facts:
- Caffeine does not have a significant diuretic effect. Caffeine, consumed regularly, will not make you pee any more than not drinking caffeine. Why do you have to go so bad after a 20oz Diet Coke? You just drank 20oz of liquid!
- Camels store fat in their humps, not water. They burn the fat in fatty acid metabolism and then through aerobic metabolism and use one of the bi-products, water, to hydrate themselves.

I hope you are both able to get enough sleep one way or another.....
The whole diet pop vs. 20oz of liquid thing makes sense. People always try and look for a complicated answer, but sometimes it's pretty obvious.
I didn't know you were studying to be a vet too? I realize you're an ambitious guy, but don't you think med school is enough?? Let's focus on humans, not camels, shall we(-:
