as of now, i am at the laboratory working for my Master's thesis and together with my undergraduate students who were also doing their thesis. it is really hard for as of now it is already 1:51 am. my eyes are closing, and my body's looking for a soft pillow and blanket and wanting to lie down already. but no! i still have work to do. this is supposed to be an overnight work, so for it is, i must work. however, i have seen and observed a lot where there call it overnight, however during midnight or at midnight, they started to fall asleep. well, it is really good to sleep. but what is the word overnight for? wasn't it that there should be no sleep instead, keeping your mind attuned with what you were doing. as for me, i really could not resist sleeping. when i am sleepy, i would really sleep. and i think i have to sleep later. so, i hope you could relate. thanks.

I also can do my lab works upto late night. Because we are graduate students. We can study upto late night. But this is not good, it will effects on our health in future. This leads to many problems like depression, sight problems, head ache and etc., So it is better to "early to bed early to rise". And do chatting while reading/writing is also a major bad thing. We can't do like that.
