DEAR ABBY: Graduation is fast approaching, and the pressure is on. I am doing good in school, but work and school are draining all of my energy. How can I not be so tired? I can't stop work, and I definitely need school and college. Can you give me some advice for managing time so I won't be so tired? -- TIRED IN SOUTH CAROLINA
DEAR TIRED: Recognize that you are running a kind of marathon. Establish an ironclad schedule that allows you to get the rest you need, and don't deviate from it. I'm not saying it will be fun, but it will get you through and allow you to reach your goal without making yourself sick.
