its 4:15 am. Why cant I sleep. All i can think of is the phd...supervisors and life. AGRH

I also can't sleep thinking about the PhD I will start very soon... but this is actually quite useful as I'm at work and need to stay awake. But anyway thinking about this whole PhD thing I can't work either. So...

I'm a bit scared too - takes me a while to get to sleep

I'm in similar situation. since I began the PhD its been half sleep and half wake up nights or staying the whole night up doing work. Before this I never had a problem in going to sleep or sleeping like a log throughout the night. So are these the side effects of PhD's?

Warm almond milk will help.

Else, try knocking back a few brandies or 10.

Don't worry it's normal to be anxious about starting a new PhD
