It's called management. Manage your resources - that includes
your own abilities, health, etc.
Mental health can actually become an issue - hell, look at some
of us!
Most of what happens in the professional world of architecture
is oh so different than school. You have to decide when you are
going to take control (to an extent) of your life.
BTW - you should _at least_ shower - for you classmates' sake.
