Help me! I am a student who recently started interning in my career. I finish the day exhausted and just want to sleep. However, I still have tests. It doesnt help to sleep just a little- I need a good few hours afterwards and then I still go to sleep pretty early. What should I do?
red bull would help
Is red bull kosher these days?
Coffee. In the long run, red bull will be totally counterproductive.
Which one?
Something sugary.
A ten minute run. (I’m serious about this one. It really works. Gets your adrenaline goin`)
Can you take catnaps during the day, at all, so you are able to stay up to study? Truthfully, this should not be an ongoing thing (though I know it is). You need regular good quality sleep. I have heard that some interns learn to sleep standing up. I really don’t know what will help you. I am so opposed to the schedule you are put on when you become a doctor. It is not good for the interns OR the patients. Hatzlacha rabbah.

Sorry, no sympathy from me. Nurses have it easy compared to others in different areas of medicine. Grin and bear it. Sleep when you can.

He didn’t ask for sympathy. He wanted suggestions.
Realtalk: Try squeezing in a few minutes of studying on your lunch break, if you have. If you take public transportation, you can study a bit while commuting. Good luck.

I did give him/her suggestions -read my whole post next time.

Here is another. I used to sleep on the way there and back. I took public transportation -eg. bus, train.

Lucky you. You don’t have to commute – So you can sleep when you’re not working. I sometimes did 6 hours of commuting a day.
realtalk -“My question is when do I study?”
How about now -instead of blogging?
Realtalk:
“I don’t have a lunch break and I live on hospital grounds. Here in Israel, the nurses have a much bigger responsibility than in America. I finish my shift after maybe sitting 20 minutes the entire time. I get back, sleep for a couple hours and then go to sleep early. Any solutions for me? “
Wow. That’s a tough schedule, there. Try hibernating straight through Shabbos afternoon, study in bits and pieces whenever you have 10 minutes here and there.

Ah, that’s very big of you. Are you always so helpful?
sharp -“Ah, that’s very big of you. Are you always so helpful?”
Yes. Are you always so “Sharf”?
Health:
Depends who you ask.
Stop talking and start studying! Study during meals…on coffee break…even five minutes here and there make a huge difference.
It’s gonna be really tough, I won’t deny that. But, you can do it! And the end result is well worth all of the pressure. Also, if you focus on the negative aspects, you’ll just feel more and more weighed down. Rethink your reasons for doing this. Positivity really makes a world of a difference. And I am not just on a soapbox here. I’m speaking from experience. Hatzlacha! And remember, if you ever have an opportunity to get ahead Do Not Procrastinate. You’ll be so tempted to do other things. Don’t Give In. You’ll regret every second wasted, because there really isn’t enough time for it all. But, you gotta make do with what you have.
**Gosh, I can’t believe I actually wrote a totally serious post…And I’m actually laughing because of that…and that’s actually a sign that my bed is calling my name but I actually don’t have time to accommodate him…and in actuality, I just made a mod read five lines of nothing. That’s funny. If I do say so myself.
aw, 73 is proud
😛 I simply can’t imagine why.
Buena suerte! 🙂
