We shot 16 hours yesterday, so rather than go to sleep, I had a couple espressos and followed it with a handful of vivarin to work through the night. It's 9:00 AM and by this point, I'm just chasing the dragon.

The term "chasing the dragon" or "chasing dragons" refers to a situation where someone is repeating a theme or pattern in life hoping to find the same results experienced a prior time.
