<p>ok soo procrastination is a HUGE problem for me (as noted in my last post) anyway i have soooooo much work to do tonight including a 60 page term paper thats due tomorrow (i was out all day w/ visiting relatives and didnt have time to start) anyway is pulling an all-nighter tonight a good idea? and if soo how does one do this lol</p>

<p>I hope replys to this post may help others in similar situations and we can somehow find a way to beat procrastination so that pulling an all-nighter is a last-resort.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>sorry, thats a 6 page** term paper NOT 60 pages lol god help me if it was actually 60 pages</p>

<p>Red bull my friend, and staying off CC helps too :)</p>

<p>6 pages is nothing. Get off CC and you can do it in less than 2-3 hours. All-nighters are not a good idea. I tend to be very hyper after pulling one, but I crash and burn about 5:00 that afternoon.</p>

<p>Do you have a computer in your house that is not connected to the internet? If so use that. Or just try and put yourself in a spot where you can concentrate more than anything. You should be able to get your paper done with everything else and sleeping. If I am able to complete a 10 page paper in an two hours and still get an A on it I have complete faith in any other CC'er to do better than me. Just exit out of whatever browser you are working in, open up word, and write.</p>

<p>Depends on the assignment; I wrote a 10-page term paper in two hours as well, but that was because I cared about the subject. Such assignments are much more difficult to complete if I hate the subject.</p>

<p>ya thats the thing, i hate the subject, and its an advanced class so a lot more effort is expected. Anyway, im on like the first two lines right now, i really dont see how im going to get htis done without an all-nighter. =(
Thanks for the input though, it has inspired me lol</p>

<p>Still here? GET OUT</p>

<p>good luck. :)</p>

<p>An energy drink like red bull or amp'd will keep me up all night and I don't feel tired the next day. But don't do that to often night lol.</p>

<p>I just pulled one last night - i was fine during school today, but after school, i just crashed and burned.
I think, the trick is to just forget you pulled an allnighter. Today, I tried to forget, and told no one, and maybe the brain power thing of thinkingthat it didnt happen, helped a bit.</p>

<p>Last night, I had 2 energy drinks accompanied with a little bottle of eyedrops.</p>

11

<p>yeah..i have like 3 times...but i always crash that night...its not the best idea, but if its your only option...</p>

12

<p>Good luck, I wrote 10 pages (okay, it was with graphs) lab-report in one night and slept 6 hours. You can do it ;)</p>

13

<p>mr. chipset, i would be so happy if i could sleep 6 hours every night. i get five on average. welcome to the IB. :)</p>

14

<p>No, thanks. I'll stay with my 7-8 average hours of sleep and APs (though I have sports, and various internships).</p>

15

<p>I sleep 5 hours every night. Start my HW at 10 or later. Can't be a healthy habit. Last year I used to pull all-nighters at least once a week.</p>

16

<p>i sleep 10 pm-7am and I'm the sal =)</p>

<p>^must not have a lot of ECs, or go to a really easy school</p>

18

<p>I have varsity sports (not in season yet), lots of ECs, AP classes, and I get 6-7 hours of sleep every night. However, as I pointed out, my sports season starts this spring, so I'll probably lose an hour or two of sleep next semester.</p>

<p>french club, amesty culniary club, the only APs offered to juniors (lang, us and lang)
im just focused lol</p>
