Yeah, my body gives out on me sometimes. I used to be a 6pm to 3am worker. I get very little work done during working hours. Too many people tempting me with cigarettes, and coffee, and then there is babble...
But now I find I just can't do it. 1am max. That is my limit. My eyes go blurry and I start to feel crabby. I used to work right up until deadline. Finish at 3 am, and drag myself up to hand in at lunch time. Now I think 'stuff it - I have had enough' round 1. It is not that I care less, it is just that... well, I put it down to getting old. But I am 26 so who knows...
Can you take it a bit easier?
Take some deep breaths
Go for a bit of a walk
Feed the ducks or something?Maybe it is exacerbated by anxiety, but I think our bodies change their limits over time.
I would say that when your body does that it is trying to tell you to take it easy. I know that that is the hardest thing to do with a deadline, but 15 minutes could save a lot of wasted (unproductive) time.
