<p>I'm trying to do 4 AP classes at once while doing all of my college essays. Most of the classes are fine, but my AP Lit teacher is destroying my pride in my writing skills with his consistently low grades. Added to the fact that I've lately been getting little sleep, and it's really just making me write oh-so-poorly. I've begun to burn out in regards to essays--I'm just not thinking well enough to be interesting and open. </p>
<p>Blah, just needed to get that out.</p>
<p>Anyone know of any medicine that will knock you out like Nyquil does, but with less of a punch? (Nyquil is hell if I get less than 7 hours of sleep)</p>
<p>Okay, I know I'm just being a mom here but you sound a lot like my D and her friends a year ago. Please, don't start taking anything to sleep. It just becomes a vicious cycle. My recomendation is to get some exercise, hard exercise, as much as you can. I know you're tired and it's the last thing you want to do. But it will: decrease your stress, (honest) help you write (it's amazing what sentences can drop into your head during a workout or the shower afterwards, and...help you go to sleep and sleep better! It will also, used regularly and moderately, help prevent you from getting sick which is a huge risk for seniors with your work load, and the last thing you need. Good luck!</p>
<p>i dunno about the medicine but nyquil owns. take 1 of those and you'll sleep like a baby, but why are you taking nyquil if you are only sleeping less than 7 hours? If you are sleeping that short amount of time, then you should be tired when you go to bed...take nyquil with the intent of going to be with more 7 hours man.</p>
<p>PS: I know what you mean about AP Lit.
4 APs this year AND writing college essays as we speak. I wrote an 8 PG paper for AP Lit that took me 9 hours of my Saturday, and she told the entire class that the results on each and every one of the papers was terrible..........damn</p>
