What keeps you awake at night?

More carrot sticks please
Can't sleep. Which kind of sucks seeing as I have glandular fever and I'm meant to be resting up. I've been lying in bed stressing about stuff and staring at the inside of my eyeballs, so I figured I might as well get up. Why are you still awake?

Con Sprezzatura.
Ohh, glandular, my commiserations! I had it about ten years ago and remember how thoroughly it knocked me around. Hope you feel better soon! Why am I still awake? I'm a night owl. And a bit of a stressed one - I have a thread in misc which I won't replay here.

Pulling an all-nighter for my last ever (!) university essay. In typical fashion, I've left things til the last minute, and it's barely started. Full of self loathing right now Hope you feel better soon OP!

It's only 8.40 here, but I'm trying to finish a job application for a job I should get, but am not sure I even want. Care factor is low. R

Currently doing the same as cardamom, ie: hanging around EB when should be doing an assignment that will take me all night because I didn't pull my finger out earlier. Don't hate on yourself, it's too late now. How good will you feel when you can watch unchallenging television without worrying about what you really should be doing?! Good luck Sorry to hear you are sick, OP

I must be crazy, but the thought of pulling an all nighter to finish my last ever uni assignment sounds fun! Do you have some caffeine to get you through? (Back in the day when I was at uni, half the students didn't have their own computer at home (the dark ages) so we'd pull an all nighter at the computer lab. Was quite communal and fun!)

I can't wait. Get this essay out of the way, exams Tuesday and Wednesday, then wondrous, wondrous freedom... I'm practically salivating at the thought. Good luck with yours too! Perhaps I'll see you for a mutual whinge-fest around, oh, I don't know, 4am?
