Well, that was why--because it was a terrifying idea at the time.
I have to finish my thesis NOW (really more like "last week") and I'm going through crazy sleep deprivation, angsting, and the like. I have renewed sympathy for what finishing the M15 book must have felt like.
Oh God. I went through a horrible stretch of that my senior year of college (at least with the book I could try to get sleep), and all I can say is, do try sleep if/when you can, because I was just a gibbering hysteric from trying to work all night, to the point where it was actually counterproductive and I was up but not actually getting things done. Try to stay away from sugar, because you think you'll get a sugar high, but man, you will crash so hard, it's not worth it. You almost have to treat it like endurance athletics or something--sleep, protein, exercise if you can spare the time for it (like, a short walk outside).
