My partner and I are both graduate students in the sciences. She's been sleeping really irregular hours, sometimes working until 5 am. I function best maintaining a fairly consistent schedule and getting 7 or so hours of sleep per night. I also sleep lightly. So when she comes home from lab at unpredictable hours and is moving around our apartment and lights are on, even with earplugs and the door closed I wake up. I end up feeling resentful. Tonight I've only slept 3.5 hours due to this issue. In her lab group she gets away with catching up on sleep at whatever time happens to suit the schedule she's keeping, but in my lab I'm accountable for being at meetings or being around lab to help lab-mates during the day, and I also run a student org with various commitments. So I can't just sleep during the day if I slept poorly that night. She is not really hearing me out when I ask her to try to keep a more typical schedule for my benefit, and I can understand the pressure of grad school making her feel like she needs to work however is most effective for her. What can I/we do? I'm so tired...

I've used it. I have met some slightly weird hosts who are a bit too forthcoming with their kooky worldviews imho. I prefer the privacy of a single hotel room. But the prices are great!

I applied to UT Austin, Colorado State, and Colorado School of Mines (among others). I am still waiting to hear from the 1st and got accepted to the others. I don't know if it is necessarily true the CSU and CSM have sent out all acceptances, though. I contacted UT Austin last week and they said that they had sent out a majority of acceptances, and official denials will be sent out mid to late March.

Anyone still checking this thread who has copies of additiong chem GRE exams, I would very much appreciate if you could email a copy to hippityhop28@gmail.com. Thanks!!!
