Academics, Sleep Deprivation, and an Ever-Moving Goal Post

Let us begin this article with a prayer I spoke earlier this day: “Lord, please humble me”.

I was not anticipating that the Lord would answer my prayer within the same day.

Currently, I am pursuing admissions to medical school. Behold, I have been deeply humbled by the volume and intensity of the work required to achieve this goal.

I shared, in a previous blog post, about a desire to work as a surgeon during my medical career. I have learned that sleep deprivation, is indeed, a requirement for this goal. I am not re-evaluating this goal, but instead, considering how I can function, optimally, with minimal sleep.

Good Night.
