To be the best, he knew he had to work for it. This quickly becomes a regular occasion for everyone to say goodnight and leave my brother downstairs hovering over a computer in the living room trying to finish his homework so he can even get an ounce of sleep. It's becoming even more common to wake up getting ready for school, only to find him downstairs, still typing on the computer. At first, I blamed this on his organizational skills and chose to believe that if he didn't procrastinate so much, he wouldn't stay up all night trying to complete the tasks he was given. two days ago. Everything stopped when I noticed the expected data from a particular mission. The top of the paper had bold, bright letters indicating that the assignment would only occur for three more class periods. Why was he choosing to pull an all-nighter now rather than working on it periodically? Later, when I questioned him, it all started to make sense. Realizing that he was going to be very busy the next few days, he had chosen not to sleep now rather than later. On top of that, with a certain number of AP classes he's taking, he has to complete five AP assignments in a two-day period. The workload had become so familiar to him that experiencing regular sleepless nights every other day had become a natural habit. I don't think he was aware of it himself.
