Woman: You look exhausted. Were you up all night again?
Man: Until almost three. I had to finish the lab report.
Woman: That can't be good for you. Do you do this every week?
Man: Lately, yes. I keep starting things too late.
Woman: Maybe block out an hour each afternoon instead. Small steps beat one long night.
