Dear Brain,
Today is only the 3rd day of classes.  This not sleeping through the night thing had better not become a pattern. I've given you a solid hour of activity, please sleep now.
Thank you.

Dear Brain,
Your incredible (lack of a) sense of direction never ceases to amaze me:
A is where I started.  B is where I ended up.  C is where I was aiming for.

Dear Brain,
You have to be awake and fully functioning in very few hours to do morning chores and figure out the day.  This is your last warning to settle down and sleep.  You will regret it if you don't.

Dear Brain,
If you settle down and sleep instead of stressing, you will do much better on your exams in the morning.  For reals.

Dear Brain,
Thank you for being well behaved today.  I hope you enjoyed your reward of fresh air and sunshine.  Please continue your excellent behavior and allow me to sleep.  Thanks!

Dear Brain. 
You spent all day writing a paper. It is sleep time now. Rest of the papers can wait. Really, they can. Please shut off now.

Dear brain,
We've been over this a million times. If you don't sleep you *will* freak out the next day. No one really enjoys that. I will give you one more chance to shape up and sleep on your own, otherwise I will do something unpleasant and force you to sleep. Understand? good.
