Maybe you shouldn't be sleeping in the sewer then!
I was pretty loopy by that point too. I peaked 2 weeks before the exam when I did the full length practice test. After that, it was just basic review and brushing up on things.

What you are experiencing is normal. We're here to help in whatever way we can (mostly listen and assure you that you'll be fine). Don't let it get to you. Most of us have been through it and we turned out normal ... well, yeah, okay. 
Eric, Wyatt:
I AM SOOOOOO WITH YOU ON THIS!
This has definitely been one of the most challenging professional endeavor of my life. I've never had to solve so many questions based on assumptions. I feel the TIME crunch as well as the frustration from not being able to quickly solve the problems in the Lindeburg Practice Problems book. I'm by no means a slouch, when it comes to academics but this prep is extremely humbling - bordering on condescending. At this rate, I may never get to browse through the other references that I bought for the exam.
The EIT came easy to me.
The only rope that I cling to is that the NCEES practice exam seems about twice as doable than the Lindbergh problems.
I see myself passing this exam. First time too. I'll look back on this and say that friggin' exam gave me hell, but made me a better engineer. AMEN

If you are at the point that you are thinking about engineering problems all the time, and seeing BOD float by in your dreams (or at least the solid things that contribute to BOD), then you are in the mindset that you need to pass the exam.
Keep it up!

I need a beer.
I'm at the same point right now. I'm just ready for the 23rd to get here so I can quit thinking about this stuff all the time!

Agree with Dleg ... as long as you are still thinking problems with less than one month to go .. that is pretty typical.

I didn't have that particular problem, after trial #3. Of course, I drank enough whiskey to put a horse to sleep that night...

I bought a 12 pack of Heineken but only made it through about 3 or 4 before zonking out. I was soooo exhausted.
I did fidget with the ENVRM on Saturday though, couldn't help but try to look up problems I struggles with.

Sounds like something PE-ness would say.
Leading up to the exam I was not very confident because I felt like I was having a really hard time answering my review book problems. But when I got through the exam, I couldn't beleive how easier it was. So...I promised myself that I would come to this site and let everyone that is stressed out to just relax and keep studying...you will be fine.
