<p>So my IB Geography Internal Assessment is due tomorrow and I'm just starting. Two nights ago I got ~2 hours of sleep and last night I got ~5, because my history term paper was due. I'll be lucky to get 2 hours tonight.</p>
<p>This isn't my sleep schedule every day but once every few months I'll have a week like this. Anyone else do things like this? How does your body respond?</p>
<p>After awhile I feel like my mind is trying to zoom in and out of my head... and I start feeling a bit nauseous</p>
<p>I can't even make it through the week averaging 6 hours of sleep per night. No idea how you people do it.</p>
<p>I knew one girl who averaged 1hr of sleep per day.. not by her choice though. Almost drove her mad... she ended up not being allowed to take her finals with the rest of us because supposedly she could sue the school if they let her do that on so little sleep</p>
<p>I averaged below 5 hours of sleep in 9th and 10th grade. I got more sleep in 11th and 12th grade.</p>
<p>Lack of sleep makes me laugh a lot. I don't know why.</p>
<p>I pull all-nighters every day... but they're not really all-nighters because I sleep from 4-midnight lol</p>
<p>yeah im going to be pulling one tonight unfortunately. Im going to be drinking tons of coffee in the morning haha</p>
<p>thats me tonight.:) any tips?</p>
<p>hhaha well what i do is take breaks in between haha which makes me stay up even longer haha but at least i dont get so frustrated! drink coffee and drink alot in the morning haha</p>
<p>you have any good ones?</p>
<p>mcb52, what do you mean by sue the school for allowing her to take exams on so little sleep? Is there a law for that? That's interesting, I slept 2 hours a night during final exams and still ended up taking them. I'm not looking to sue though, I just wanted to know more about this.</p>
<p>This happening once every few months isn't a big deal.</p>
<p>Chronic sleep deprivation is much worse...</p>
<p>^ Yeah that's me, I don't do all nighters but regular lack of sleep seems to have some effects. I've been getting between 4 and 5 hours on average for months now and I seem to have a hard time going to sleep, I can be tired and lie down but my mind doesn't shut off very much. Not many other problems though, just a lack of energy and constant state of tiredness throughout the day. I'm only ever awake late at night now....</p>
<p>i try to force myself to sleep but it is quite hard</p>
