Just take melatonin on a flight that long if you want to sleep.
 
i can't wrap my head around protein requirements for building and maintaining muscle

how the fuck did humans survive with such requirements? the math on caloric expenditure to acquire protein is totally fucked if you're supposed to eat so much.

i guess way more people died from nutritional based problems than i can comprehend?

While true, a couple glasses of wine or cocktails make it a lot easier for a lot of people to even fall asleep at 36,000 feet.

Timmy is correct. Assuming it's a red eye, I like the 1 drink with first beverage service, 1 with dinner, and 1 afterwards while you watch a Planet Earth-esque show/movie and hopefully fall asleep.

Yeah this is how I go but usually with a movie I’ve seen a million times

I know it's a totally different from the STEM field that I'm in, but 9.5 years is absolutely insane to me, that is so long. Do most people at least go straight to their Ph.D. from undergrad, or are they finishing up their degree in their mid-thirties?

I graduated with my Ph.D. when I was 26 after graduating from Wake at 22.

It's a mix. The brilliant undergrads go straight through. In my program, the cohort (20ish) ahead of mine was almost all new college grads -- and only like five of them even finished (0 ended up in TT jobs)

My cohort was a correction -- all 20ish of us had master's degrees, most of us with teaching experience. The single girl straight out of undergrad had taken time off in the middle so she was 23 or 24. I started my MA straight out of wake (posting all the way through!) but took off two school years before starting the phd (one for a museum job and one for a teaching gig).

17/20 of my cohort finished -- one death, and two didn't graduate. Much higher success rate on the job market than the cohorts before and after.

Now, my program needs to recruit older and more experienced candidates because the school doesn't offer the language courses necessary to pass our required exams...so we've got to recruit people that have already fulfilled the requirements.

I finished at 32ish
 
my wife graduated undergrad in 2006, worked for two years, went back to grad school in 2008 and got her masters and phd in 5 years

Flying east coast to the pacific is god awful with zero ability to sleep. You leave at 9am and the flight is pure peak daytime hours landing at original destination midnight. Good luck sleeping during that. Last time I watched 4 movies a seasons of Curb and hours of switch.
 
so after the lice discovery on sunday my wife basically ran every item of clothing and bedding and all the towels we own through the washer and then left on monday.

so now i have a smaug-hoard of unfolded laundry to fold and two girls to feed and process every day. i am not sure how to get ahead on this mound and also work/life.
