When I was at university I wanted to jump in with 2 feet. 

There was always something happening, something new to try, learn or do. Want to learn ballet, sure. Scuba diving, why not. Martial arts - what have I got to lose.

And by my first week I was up to my eyeballs in commitments - with musical theatre rehearsals, short film making, bands of various genres, and of course not forgetting my degree.

Don’t get me wrong. I loved it.   

Naively, I thought I was being clever with my time. I was being productive, socialising, and getting my work done…just about (if you count pulling an all-nighter every week for a term).

It was too much, my sleep went out the window. Caffeine became my best friend.
