A Night owl getting distracted by glow worms

Doing a PhD leaves little time for writing anything but a thesis.

Yes, it is July now, and I am yet to submit my thesis :(. It just keeps getting pushed back further and further. Every time I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel, it is not the end of the tunnel and it is just pretty little glow worms distracting me!


So anyway, its now 4am and I'm at my local library, which is wonderfully trialing being open 24hrs! So I am warm, it's quiet, and I have a clear desk to work at. Also no family or cats to distract me. My poor cats have apparently been crying when I have been away at night. 

This is my third night in the past 4 days here. I feel like I am slowly making some progress here. The main problem is I still need to be able to function during the day on several days during the week, so I cannot come here all the time. Sadly, 9pm-3am still seems to be my most productive times. I can feel myself getting tired now but still somewhat functioning maybe until 5am at the latest. So it seems my body clock is only 12 hrs off what the usual working hours are....
