[Hiraeth]

I have chronic fatigue so I get the super-frustration about it. It's ridiculous that of all of modern medicine's great achievements it still has absolutely no answer for fatigue. We can control pain, we have tons of drugs with sedating effects, but nothing to help with being fatigued.

I was really fortunate to have a friendly study buddy who helped keep me on track, he made sure I got up at a reasonable time and got enough stuff done before giving up for the night etc. Left to my own devices I would probably never get out of bed.

I would give decaf a try. I found it somewhat helpful. Not the caffeine, but the coffee-ish taste and the feeling of drinking some warm beverage, would help at least get me into the focusing mood.
