Most of the time I fall asleep pretty quickly, probably due to exhaustion. Sleeping more than 6 hours a night became a thing of the past when I developed tinnitus, so I've become accustomed to being very tired when I go to bed.
Classical for me. Lately I've been working on the Brahms Ballades.

All of them? Op. 10, that is?
Yeah. Op 10, all four of dem. I've also done the, what, Op. 118 or whatever it is one? Worked on that one a long time ago.
Good man. Op. 10 is a more difficult set than it's given credit for. But 2 and 4 make it well worth learning. I like the Op. 118 set a great deal, but no. 3 is my least favourite of that set.
Definitely cIassical for me, mostly because I prefer the genres themselves. I don't mind jazz, but it doesn't have nearly the same emotional impact on me as cIassical genres.
I think all college grads are having trouble.Fightingfan
That's what I hear as well. Too many experienced workers had their retirement portfolios trashed by the economic collapse, and so they're not retiring. New grads don't stand a chance when they're up against people with 20 years of experience in the field. But it's not impossible to get a job. Just tougher.
Did you have an idea of a job in mind when you started your studies? I think that's the key if you're using education to further your career. You need to pick a field which is in demand, and you have to have an end goal in mind. That said, it's certainly possible to make an arts career work if your expectations are reasonable. I've made it work by supplementing my teaching/performing (for which I went to school) with investing (which was self-taught). Between the two, I do awfully well for myself.
