My MSc project deals with Lactobacilus brevis, a common beer spoilage bacteria. For some tests I'm doing, I need to sample every 6 hours (or less...) in order to get some decent results.
This doesn't bode well for my sleep... I've already done two (6pm and 12am) and I pretty much stayed awake all night to do the 6 am sampling... not that I intended to, but I think I drank too much strong coffee before going in for the 12 am sampling so I wasn't able to sleep.
Anyway... I'm not looking forward to this time tomorrow (5 am) as I may be going out of my skull by then. Unless I can force myself to sleep in the middle of the day for a couple of hours.
Damn bacteria.
Cheers!

I had to do the same thing when I was doing my PhD. The measurements I was performing required a new set of data to be taken every 6 hours for a couple of days. Getting up early to go to school wasn't bad, but I sure got some funny looks from my friends when I had to excuse myself from the beer & wings night to go do a measurement.
