1. Under any circumstances you know exactly how much sleep you can get and still be a functioning human the next day.
2. When you get extremely upset when someone takes away one of your studying materials and tells you that you're going to have some fun for once, despite your protests that you were already having fun.
3. When you have hidden resources everywhere from your phone to your backpack so that you can still study when friends and family take your obvious resources away.
