Running on caffeine. Not getting much sleep. Have 248 pages and need a preface and a conclusion. Is a 12-page bibliography enough?

I'm jittery and it's Machiavelli's birthday. And apparently I'm Signor Non Sequitur today. Whoooooooooeeeeeeeee!

My problem is this: The worst part of my day comes when I'm lying in bed but not falling asleep--thinking about grief and pain and fear and stress--so I've been trying to minimize it by staying awake until I'm ready to drop. But my dissertation worries wake me up at 7:00 whether I'm rested or not.

I think tomorrow I'm going to have to have a nice long nap.
