I used to think that sleep was just wasted time, and I'd stay up as late as possible as frequently as possible. Eventually I realized that sleep does have some positive benefits after all (at least for me) and tried to get more of it. Of course, there are still occasional exceptions to this approach *cough*3:15amPST*cough*.

Relative to robotics, as much as I generally enjoy the build season, I find the meetings, especially the longer ones, pretty tiring both mentally and physically (being on your feet for 12 hours is surprisingly fatiguing). The trick in my experience is to get enough sleep to keep from falling over (or getting flattened by cross-traffic), but at the same time to be sleep-deprived enough so that everything gets that extra ounce of humor injected into it, thereby maintaining optimal operating status for robotics.
