<p>I am, i have midterms this week, plus i "felt" like doing some studying for AP Statistics. Sometimes ill honestly just stay up and do SAT prepwork. Does anyone else do this?</p>
<p>I did this alll the time when I was doing SAT prep and I used to get a head start on future homework. But now I have the worst case of senioritis and I stay up really late doing absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>nicee…I gave up on statistics because i got sick of numbers now im just perusing CC, playing Sims, and typing out my plan to send to administration for a new club.</p>
<p>Dude? I practically spent the past month up all night EVERY NIGHT and then spent like 6 hours sleeping in the day, lol…</p>
<p>This does not seem healthy.</p>
<p>It’s not the healthiest thing to do, but I always do it when it’s the day after the new semester.</p>
<p>I always go to sleep between 10 and 12, and wake up between 7 and 8. Occasionally, I stay up late because I have a friend over. I can’t imagine getting less than six hours of sleep… ouch.</p>
<p>^ You don’t have any faults, do you JimboSteve? Haha it seems like in every thread, you are just the most sensible person in the world. You’ve never just stayed up just for the fun of it? Or eaten a gallon of ice cream because you felt like it (exaggeration but still)? I can’t imagine living life confined to some internal code of sensibility, devoid of spontaneity and fun. Please, prove me wrong. Tell me you do irrational things sometimes.</p>
<p>If you’re studying for a week of midterms/finals, it makes more sense to stay up really late on Saturday night than Sunday night.</p>
<p>my enemy is procrastination</p>
<p>3/5 nights I got to sleep at 10-10:30</p>
<p>2/5 I go to sleep at 11-12</p>
<p>I think the latest I’ve ever been up because of schoolwork is 2.</p>
<p>I stay up late because I don’t feel like sleeping. Sometimes I study to make me feel like I’m not completely wasting my time. Really, that’s probably when I’m most productive.</p>
<p>Latest I’ve stayed up is 3:30…P.M. </p>
<p>However, that was more just to “see if I could.” </p>
<p>I’ve definitely stayed up until 5/6 because of school work; “LOL ELMASTERMIND LET’S SEE IF WE CAN PROCRASTINATE UNTIL 4!” </p>
<p>Most of the school days I’m out before 12. In the month of August, I went to bed at around 6a.m. almost every day. I fell into a pretty vicious cycle. I’ve never been like that before. Usually, I’d go to bed around 3/4.</p>
<p>Umm to study in advance lol nope. On the night before, yep</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>For the fun of it, yes. Sleepovers and the like. But to study? School already takes too much time out of our lives. Losing sleep over it would be torture. My problem is not that losing sleep over school is irrational in the typical sense of the word– although I would bet that, regarding tests, an extra hour of sleep is easily worth more than an extra hour of study. I just couldn’t force myself to do it, even if I wanted to.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>haha yes. I will honestly just stay up until 2/3 AM doing nothing when I could be studying or something … just because I feel like I’m wasting my life by sleeping.</p>
<p>@JimboSteve: All right, that makes more sense. But I don’t believe that one hour of sleep is equivalent to one hour of studying at all. As long as you can function well on less sleep, that extra hour of studying will surely be more beneficial for the test the following day. Perhaps you are an “early bird”–you feel better going to bed early. I’ve always been an extreme “night owl,” and I don’t like going to bed before 12 AM, even if I don’t have any homework. Different strokes, I guess.</p>
<p>As for 1 hour of sleep versus 1 hour of studying: it depends. If the difference were between 7 and 8 hours of sleep and I wouldn’t be studying at all otherwise, then the studying would be better. With 7 hours you should still be pretty alert for test-taking, and with no studying at all you risk unfamiliarity with even rudimentary concepts/terms/whatever. If the difference is between 5 and 6 hours of sleep and I’d already studied a bit anyway… the issue’s hazier.</p>
<p>I think the “issue” can only be argued on a case-to-case basis. Many times this year, I’ve aced tests with only a few hours of sleep. As soon as the test starts, my mind snaps into alert mode, and it’s as if I didn’t miss any sleep at all. (Of course, the rest of the day is pretty uncomfortable.) This probably wouldn’t be the case for JimboSteve; it looks like he doesn’t function as well on little sleep.</p>
<p>Did it junior year… APs almost killed me, literally XD
but the effort was worth it lol</p>
