Julie, I'm also a chronic insomniac, and I relied on power naps a lot during my time as an undergrad! It's funny, if I took longer naps I could never fall asleep that night, but 15-20 minute power naps never seemed to disrupt my sleeping schedule. I also agree with Chinagrl and Heather, procrastination did nothing but make things worse for me. I'm not saying I did things right away, but I found out quickly that pulling all-nighters was just about the worst thing possible for my body! I know being a college student with IBS isn't fun, and yes it makes it harder to do your work and have a social life, but I can tell you from experience that it's possible to get through it and still have a great experience!
