It may be a case of making the most of what time you have to sleep.
Eat cheese before sleeping to ensure you have deep sleep.

- It's a case of enabling your brain to power-down. Dreaming helps to sort all the information you've absorbed during the day. If you dream well, you'll feel better in the morning as opposed to have blank sleep which is just a state of unconsciousness.honest

wow guys those comments are hurtful.
I'm serious the place is still a work in progress but it went from a 100 year old property to a nice restaurant, patio, fireplace, rocks sticking out of the walls beautiful weather and 3 different kinds of beer which you can enjoy with pasta chicago style stuffed pizza. Is getting there!

The fact that it is 11:41pm, and I am now just contemplating what to get started on next says that I am way too busy and confirms that sleep is for the weak.

I do have a part-time job which is very flexible I get to choose my hours as long as I have everything organize with the clients. If go in the morning I get out early in the afternoon and so on. On my freelance I take a projects that usually last about 2 - 3 months non stop work day night. Then rest, for a month and half.. I usually go to Mexico I own a restaurant in a beautiful old town, brew my own beer and eat well and take photos.

I always get 6-7 hours of sleep, at the very least. Unless I put something off until ridiculously late hours, but I slap myself a few times before it gets that far. I'm still tired all the time, for some reason.
Maybe it's time management. Which is funny, because I'm always on QBN. Perhaps I think my life is busier than it is (older people tell me this all the time), but school schedules vary a lot more compared to workplace schedules.

you should try not sleeping for 3 days straight

And when you get REALLY tired, a solid kick to the crotch will get you going again... after you get the crying like a wee girl out of the way.

Since nobody here, that I am aware of, has seen your work or has verified your freelance rate, any comments regarding either are meaningless. You just got out of school and you're working full time and have enough freelance projects to keep you busy the rest of the time. You're learning, and next time you won't book yourself so heavy.
Anyways, it sounds like you are an ambitious designer who isn't going to settle for mediocre quality for much longer. Keep the freelance work going and don't bite of more than you can chew, from the either the amount of projects you take on or their level of difficulty. Basically, take it easy on yourself with the side work; personal standards are often ridiculously high and can sometimes result in undercharging the client. Good luck.
- I have no idea what his rate is, but if he doesn't sometimes have people freak out at his rate, then the rate is too low!

You're too cheap! Or you should outsource and become a project manager/creative director.... Don't let people pressure you into doing mediocre work for random deadlines!

raise your rate and work out the wave, you'll appreciate the savings when you want to go travel, or spend it on something significant...

@drgss it's not greed (well maybe a little) I just graduated and don't have a whole lot of good work in my portfolio or experience so I am working towards getting both. The money is nice, but it's not the main reason I do this. I don't get to do the kind of work I want to do in the future at my full-time job. So I freelance to build up my portfolio and supplement my income until I find a better job.

extend deadlines, don't rush
