<p>i'm one of those weird people that find it hard to stay up past 9, so when i have to for homework i drink a glass of ice-cold water.</p>
<p>how does ice cold water keep you awake?!?!?!</p>
<p>Caffine Pills work well for me, but then I end up crashing when I get home from school. Sometimes I just don't do the assignment if I'm extremely tired, I figure its not worth losing sleep over. Ice cold water is freezing so it wakes you up.</p>
<p>I once fell asleep during a test due to the lack of sleep. Luckily, the teacher was kind enough to wake me up 10 minutes after I had dozed off.</p>
<p>I usually go to sleep late because of homework for my APUSH class. I have this thing where I take a break to watch Law and Order: SVU and at 9:00 PM I read the chapter(s) and study for APUSH and I usually do that for two hours. At 11:00 PM is when I usually go to bed.</p>
<p>I fell asleep so many times reading our ridiculous boring APUSH tome -- Liberty, Equality, Power.</p>
<p>Incidentally, I fell asleep too on the actual APUSH exam with 25 minutes remaining on the essay portion.</p>
<p>I received a 5. =D</p>
<p>what was the longest you guys stayed awake?
Mine is 30 hours! It's amazing how time passes so quickly when you watch 7 consecutive movies.</p>
<p>^^^probably like 36 hours or so.</p>
<p>I've stayed up for three days so 36+ studying my Ap Euro text Sophmore yr. Haven't stayed awake more than 24 hrs since then. Will power or caffeine pills($5 per 100) are cheapest , stackers, etc work too but at 25 a bottle. It's not a good thing to do unless you're desperate. You wont remember as much if you're reading at 3:00Am as opposed to 3PM.</p>
<p>work while on MSN talking to people. if ur staying up late for some class, chances are, ur classmates will be too. so u might as well suffer together :)</p>
<p>I don't stay up. The longest I ever have was until... five-ish, not studying, but cleaning up after a party my parents hosted. But then, I don't study that much either... I really only have for AP tests, and my method for that was to study from 3 pm, when I got home from school, until about 10 pm, when I'd shut my books, go on AIM a little, and then sleep.... I did that for about 2 weeks, and I had 6 AP tests and 2 SAT II's. (Results: five 5's, one 4; 800 USH; 770 chem)</p>

<p>That is so true. The night before the huge English thesis paper is due, we had a MSN-thesis-party at 3:30 AM. </p>
<p>The thing though is my productivity goes down to less than 20% if I work with MSN on because I get distracted so easily...</p>
<p>I pulled an all-nighter studying for my first college exam, which made up 1/3 of my grade. I figured that I needed to start out strong this year and that I would regret not studying more for just a few hours of sleep.</p>
<p>Result: 96%, which is outstanding given my professor's notoriety for tricky and very difficult exams!</p>
<p>I better stay on top of things, because an A in that class is a 94.</p>
<p>It's cool how I brought back a thread from two years ago. I find that entertaining. </p>
<p>Anyways, now my problem is NOT sleeping. I can't hit the hay until 11 or I'll just lay there and stare at the ceiling. </p>
<p>So I tried to pull another all-nighter.</p>
<p>I fell asleep at about 3 or 4.</p>
<p>And then guess what? School in three hours! Yeah that's the first day I've missed this year. Doesn't it make sense to everyone that high school should start around 9 or 10? Teenagers bodies aren't built to go to bed early...</p>
<p>On Wednesdays, I don't have class, so I sleep until 10 and then do a research project/go to meetings the rest of the day. On Mondays and Thursdays, I get up at 8:30 (first class is at 10:25, I do homework in the mornings though). On Tuedays and Mondays, I wake up at 7:20 (7:50=first class). When do I go to bed? 12:30-2 every night.</p>
<p>i naturally stay up late since i have so much to do, but staying AWAKE is a whole different story. when it hits midnight - 2 AM, i start getting really sleepy (especially if i'm reading history, or trying to memorize). a couple weeks ago it got to the point where i HAD to stay up until 3 am since i had so much **** to do & i NEEDED to stay up to finish everything (no, i wasn't procrastinating, but i had a lot of things to do haha).</p>
<p>my solution is GOOD FOOD & DRINKS. :D haha. yeeep ! especially when reading, 'cause it helps me concentrate.</p>
<ul>
<li>giant peach tazo juiced iced tea</li>
<li>sobe nirvana mango melon</li>
<li>wolfgang puck's chicken caesar salad</li>
<li>ice water</li>
</ul>
<p>haha yiuh baby! but yeah, it helps but only to a certain point. i still have to figure out myself how to keep myself awake for late nights. :[</p>
