All-Nighters

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>I'm not sure if there's a law for it... but I said before it wasn't her choice to sleep so little--it was kind of the school's fault that she couldn't get any sleep</p>

<p>haha i do the sam neltharion i write so much better after like 11</p>

<p>I get around 4-6hrs each night. I usually never do all nighters because I'd rather get a few more minutes of sleep instead of a few more points on a test. I did try to do 2 all nighters in a row, but eventually gave up around 3-4am and slept from first through fourth period.</p>

<p>How the hell do some of you guys procrastinate so little? I study right before tests, don't do homework, and even blow off the SAT/ACT even though they're the tickets into most colleges...</p>

<p>I have a TERRIBLE sleeping schedule</p>

<p>I have so much homework and research to do at night, (plus time spent on CC, facebook, hahaha)</p>

<p>That I go to bed at like 1 or 2 everyday</p>

<p>only to wake up at 6 the next morning</p>

<p>SO LAME</p>

<p>At this point I tend to just not do the work.</p>

<p>For me it's better to take a 1-2 hour nap right after school and then do homework throughout the night because then I'm more alert and it gets done faster</p>

Another misconception is that nocturnals are up to no good.

HAHAHAHA. It's not a misconception, IT'S TRUE.</p>

<p>Wow yawn, thanks for the link to that article...it does describe me quite well. Suppose those 24 hour shifts at the hospital will be a little easier to bear. :P</p>

<p>I honestly can't imagine how ANYONE pulls an "all-nighter." I try my best not to procrastinate important assignments mainly because I cannot force myself to stay up so late ...</p>

<p>^ To be honest, I can't possibly imagine going to bed before midnight. It just seems so alien, and it's probably been years since I've done such a thing.</p>

<p>^ Haha true. If I sleep at 1 AM or something then it feels so strange. Like I could have wasted more time online or done something more useful. Plus it messes up my system, since I tend to feel more groggy if I sleep for 5 hours than if I sleep for 3.5 hours. Does this happen to other people, as well? Perhaps it has to do something with the number of sleep cycles I go through, not exactly sure...So I usually end up going to bed at 2:30 typically, since i start homework at midnight. yeah sever procrastination problems. Perhaps I need more motivation, lol.</p>

<p>I have to pull all-nighters on days that I start my homework at 4pm and work non-stop. There is something seriously wrong with me, I mean I don't find my classes hard or anything, they're actually quite easy. But, I just take so long to complete my homework. I feel like I don't even distract myself or anything like that, but somehow I still end up wasting my time and I don't even know WHAT wastes my time. It's really weird, is anyone else like this?</p>

<p>^ Hmm sort of, do you turn on your computer at the same time? That could be a potential problem.</p>

<p>I do turn my computer, but I don't even spend a lot of time on it. All I use it for is my homework and probably like 30 min. a day other stuff, but that's all. I feel like my mind is asleep or something even if I'm awake because I have no idea what's wasting my time and I don't even feel like I'm daydreaming, but somehow I am still wasting my time. I mean, I do my homework but I feel like I don't even know that I'm doing it. It's so hard to even describe my situation and you probably think I'm insane so I'll just stop talking now...</p>

<p>No your not insane, haha. That happens to me all the time. But I suppose it will always remain elusive how time passes by so quickly lol.</p>

<p>ohhh all nighters...
i have periods where i'm really awake and then really tired. the day after is just plain AWFULLLLLLL. they're really not worth it.
i went to bed at 2 AM every single day of this week (for no real reason. i wasn't doing work), and now i'm sick (this is how my body responds) but still staying up because i've messed up my sleep schedule. great.</p>

<p>cannot wait for my residency!</p>

<p>I just slept from 7-9. Now (at 11:22), I am wide awake and wasting time on CC.</p>

<p>...I've never gotten any less than 8 hours of sleep on a schoolday, with rare occasions that I can count such as poker nights and other fun all-night parties.</p>

<p>And that's this year, too, because I'm watching more T.V. and playing more games; before I slept a consistent 9~11 hours on weekdays and 12~14 on weekends (I still sleep this much on weekends).</p>

<p>Uh, I'm actually normal, and get an average amount of sleep...you people are insane.</p>

<p>It's 1 AM and I am not planning on going to sleep within the next 2 hours.</p>

<p>I just had more sleep last night than I had over the previous three nights combined - after the Duke game went to bed around midnight and woke up around 8.</p>

<p>I'd had 7 over the past 72 before that.</p>

<p>Feeling refreshed now. All major papers done for a while now, last week was hell but I should be able to catch up on sleep over the next few weeks.</p>
