all-nighter

[One Winged Angel]

gotta pull my first school-related one tonight thanks to back-to-back tuesday night/wednesday morning exams

post anything you guys want in here that'll help keep me up, whether it be advice as to what I should physically be doing to help keep my body awake or random hilarious crap that I can watch at 4 in the morning

love you guys~

Re: all-nighter

Perhaps you should sleep unless you're really unprepared for the exam. If you've already been studying (I don't), sleep and you'll do much better.

Wolf/dog naps power naps. Sleep for 10 minutes and you're good for another 6 hours. They work no joke I do them often since I always need to pull all nighters

Re: all-nighter

It's well established in the literature that sleep depriving yourself leads to decreased response speed and increased variability in performance especially on tasks involving alertness, attention and vigilance...

i.e. not sleeping will have a statistically significant effect on factors you need in order to do well on tests.


Study as hard as you can, but get some sleep before the exam. Otherwise, your studying won't help you much because you'll lack the basic cognitive functions usually required for exams. Consider cramming, sleeping and then cramming again before the exam in the morning.

Re: all-nighter

We are in the same boat. I have a 6 page paper to write, but I was so exhausted after taking my behavior modification final today that I slept most of the day. I'll camp out in this thread.

one all nighter won't impair how well he does on the test. drink a cup of coffee before you go into it and you will be fine

this is exactly what I'm worried about, so I was planning on establishing some sort of 'sleep schedule'...only problem is, I'm such a deep sleeper

I normally don't sleep with an alarm because my body knows exactly when to wake up by itself if I just choose a time, but I'm not big on naps so I haven't perfected this...uhhh, 'technique', with shorter sleep intervals...I'm worried that if I try this, I'll end up attempting to take a nap from 12:30-1:30 and waking up at 4:30

which would not be good

Re: all-nighter

Yes it will lol. I take it you've never gone 24+ hours awake and then had to do a high level task before. Do this, have someone drop a ruler and have you catch it. Measure the distance it too for you to catch it. Do it again after 24 hours awake and see how much slower you are

Re: all-nighter

Adderall is great for this. Five hour energy is pretty good too, I find that it doesn't make me feel active or energetic but it does keep me awake and somewhat alert.

Also, metal.
