I can sympathise .. I find myself studying more & more and usually mix it with a lot of other stuff that I have to do as well.
I have found for years that since I spend so much time working (~24/7, even leisure is a form of work) what happens on occasions is that I get sent to a seminar or meeting. Unless there is something that is extremely interesting going on, I am on a countdown to how long before my eyes refuse to stay open. If I am "busy" or have things to do like join in the seminar, take part etc I am wide awake .. unfortunately that is rare ..

I haven't found a cure .. and now that I am studying to prepare for my next exam ..I am on constant tidbits and coffees or teas. The only thing I have found that helps is to use 2 pc's .. one to use to keep in contact here and the other to study with and do practice labs .. using a KVM to switch between PC's is a great help .. as soon as I realise that I have lost concentration on the studies I am over here to see what's going on .. check mail, look up reference material etc without leaving my chair .. well except for the teas, coffees and biscuits that is ..
