I second that getting enough sleep helps, I'm not sure if it was the nature of my degree or what, but the pattern seemed to be: Get design brief, do research, make first design sketches and think of initial concept, bring in to class, get told to keep making more sketches, rethink concept to be more (insert some random abstract word here that lecturer thinks of that day) or rethink it altogether, go back and rethink, do more research, rethink, more sketches, bring back to class with more directions to rethink/change for all the weeks up until the week before it is due, then the last week be up all hours making the model until it's ready for the presentation on the due date, come in to present model with half an hours sleep behind me, and having to grab a good presentation space in the studio with all the other frantic sleep-deprived class-mates also wanting the best place to present, put presentation boards and the model up, and have to present this to the group on how very wonderful my design and concept are while being totally sleep deprived and just wishing I was asleep let alone promoting my design and concept to the class. I don't know how I could've actually had sleep and still got good marks in my projects but I would have been much more motivated with something resembling a normal nights sleep
