Eureka!

I've finally figured it out. My air conditioner, which uses various symbols like water, snow, and triangles to configure, does have a timer OFF switch. It took me 20 minutes of testing, but I finally have that sweet, sweet hour of sleep between 5AM and 6AM unbroken by noisyness and the cold. I received a whole 7 hours of sleep last night. Seven. Hours. Unbroken. You wouldn't believe how it feels.

I also may have discovered the cause of stomach, which has been in some pain since the first weeks I arrived. While initially assuming it was caused by food, stress or even just low exercise, I'm fairly certain its actually the temperature in the library. Including a few heavier layers has really improved my functionality day to day.

With a midterm coming up, I haven't had much time to sleep, much less write. I've wanted to discuss the biggest contributors to my procrastination in the morning and the evening, how I've been hoping to deal with them. I've also wanted to talk about other factors, like the effects of nutrition and sleep debt on energy levels. However, each of these could be a post within itself. If I had the time, I could write chapters and chapters of easy solutions to big problems and cite the most up-to-date research on the various topics I've been dealing with, but sadly that's just not possible. It took me three days to even get this short post done.

Mini Test is tomorrow, see you on the flipside!
