What if you didn't sleep on a school night at all?

<p>Has anyone ever stayed up all night on a school night and went to school the next day? If so, what did it feel like? I'm curious to know (teenagers are curious at everything) so I would like to try it sometime just to experience it.</p>

<p>I treated it like a regular day.
I mean I was tired and all, but it’s really overrated.</p>

<p>Wasn’t really as tired as when I get 3-4 hours of sleep but crashed as soon as I got home</p>

<p>I’ll probably try it sometime just to see what it’s like.</p>

<p>I’ve seen midnight movies on schoolnights.</p>

<p>Good fun. I’m usually the only one at school the next day who has actually seen the movie. Everyone else skips.</p>

<p>You just go on about your day like nothing ever happened.</p>

<p>After a certain point, I no longer feel tired. I… transcend it. A week or two ago, I went for 38 hours. I was very tired around the 18-20 hour mark, but had left it behind by 24. I slept after 38 because (1) I was bored and (2) I knew I really should sleep.</p>

<p>One time, I took sleeping pills and tried to stay awake. </p>

<p>I threw up.</p>

<p>I was tired so I just dozed off in class. And I luckily had independent study for an hour which is basically study hall</p>

<p>My boyfriend does that about once a month, but he’s super weird about sleep. He says it’s better than just sleeping for a couple of hours because he’s less tired. Of course, then there was the time that he stayed up all night and found himself in a place where he hadn’t remembered going…</p>

<p>I took my APUSH final without any sleep and got a 105.5.</p>

<p>You feel a bit tired and have heavy legs, but other than that, it’s not that bad.</p>

<p>Back-to-back all-nighters are impossible, though.</p>

<p>

I wouldn’t say that.</p>

<p>You just go through the day. You may doze off in class, and when you get home you will crash all the way through to the next morning.</p>

<p>Wow…the OP talks about it like its some kind of mystical, big deal kind of thing :p. Kinda funny.</p>

<p>It’s not that bad actually. The tiredness goes away as you interact with people, take notes, etc. I try to avoid eating lunch because I feel that after you eat food you become even more tired…yeah. OJ in the morning is a must though.</p>

<p>Then you hit that certain point where everything becomes super funny. I keep all senses and all, but stupid things become hilarious. Idk why it happens.</p>

<p>I’ve done it so many times. Hell, might even be one today…</p>

<p>I interviewed for Columbia after not sleeping for 36 hours.</p>

<p>It was the best interview I had… save the constant blinking due to dry eyes from sleep deprivation.</p>

<p>@LaTina that was one of the funniest things I’ve heard all day. How did that happen though?
And yea to the OP, it’s still a normal school day but you’re just really tired. I normally sleep in most of my classes anyway so it’s not really something to get all hyped up over</p>

<p>Its not too bad. </p>

<p>But I personally have a govt. teacher with the most soothing voice in the world who also happens to get extremely offended if you fall asleep in class…</p>

<p>I haven’t ever done that, but the one night I did get below 6, 7, or 8 hours I went to sleep and was shocked awake by a nightmare in which a huge project was due the next day, and that I hadn’t even started.</p>

<p>So I scrambled out of bed and did it. Went back to sleep and got a fitful 2 or 3 hours. I’d estimate 4 hours for the whole night. The next day I was strangely invigorated, physically and mentally. And once my brain had cleared, I realized to my horror that there was actually no project like that.</p>

<p>Noooooooo… <em>sleep/lack of sleep meddles with your mind</em></p>

<p>I have really bad seasonal insomnia (and this winter season has been the worst) and a lot of other crap wrong with me so there have been days in the last several weeks were I’ve gotten 0 amount of sleep. Hell, there have been days when I come to school having only gotten 3-5 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours. </p>

<p>I handle it well. Some people come to school bi*** because of “only” getting 4 hours of sleep. I don’t know, I guess I’m used to it or something because I don’t snap at people after getting no sleep.</p>

<p>My eyes are soo sensitive to light and a bunch of other stuff. </p>

<p>Although, I’m pretty much a zombie in the winter. :D</p>

<p>

You actually made up and did a project? What was it?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>So I had this big chemistry project in Sophomore year, and I procrastinated and left like two weeks worth of work until the last day :smiley: - I have chronic bronchitis, so I would get this really bad cough every couple months - and I’m coughing every two minutes. My dad gives me some cough medicine and some pills. While working on the project, I start getting very sleepy. My dad tells me to go to sleep, because he gave me sleeping pills</p>

<p>(wth dad, WHY WOULD I NEED SLEEPING PILLS?!)</p>

<p>I couldn’t afford any sleep at all, so I just kept working and working (for about an hour -__-). Then I started to get very, very dizzy and queasy. I felt really like… weak and trembly, but I just kept working. Then after twenty minutes, I just couldn’t take it anymore. </p>

<p><strong>warning, nastiness coming up</strong></p>

<p>I crawled to my bed to just sit and rest, but then I threw up bile and water right next to my bed, and then I just knocked out. </p>

<p>I woke up three hours later, cleaned up the throw up, and went back to work on my project.</p>

<p>I looked up sleeping pills effects. See, I always thought that sleeping pills were just to help you get drowsy and stuff, but no. Maybe my dad gave me some strong stuff, though.</p>

<p>Why was this post so long?</p>
