Excuse yourself, and your audience will understand. If basic needs can't be respected, I would seriously consider finding a different employer (in school, professors won't care).

Health = wealth; if you don't take care of health first, you won't be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour later

I haven't read much of the thread, but this is basically what I came here to say.

There's no excuse for neglecting your bodily needs, if you need to get something done, that something will be done far greater if you're not hanging on by some thread of life and able to tackle it at your most comfortable pace, IMO.
