All Nighters. Good? Bad?

[Asx4Life]

Is this a good or bad idea? Honestly, i've done all nighters every year, and not once has it affected me the next day.
So has anyone ever tried it for a VCE exam? If so, how did you go, and did it help you?

I study extremely well at night, so I usually work till 3am or so on Friday/Saturday nights (Friday only if it's urgent )
But I wouldn't be doing this the night before an exam, sleep is important
However, for the past three nights, I've been doing it (as we have no school, Friday was a study day)

Not tonight though.

I also study much better at night but am going to bed RIGHT NOW! good night and good luck

I've been tossing this idea around also but I'm gonna go to sleep and when I wake up just go over the my mistakes in the exams I've done as well as my notes. Lack of sleep will mess with your mind and you will probably loss more marks than you would possible gain. Although there is always coffee if you choose to pull an all nighter.

A little off topic, but couldn't be bothered making another thread for it.

I know the night before a good sleep is ideal, but two nights before?

I've been experimenting with just slamming an all nighter (till about 4am), then waking at 8am then studying on till about 10pm at which point you actually get to sleep. I find that otherwise the night before an exam you just can't get to  bed at the time that you want to.


I personally think all nighters are awesome.

I find myself working better at late into the night than I do during the day. If you can handle it I don't see a problem with it. However, I wouldn't exactly recommend it.

All nighter the night before the exam is generally a very bad idea. You think you're alert but you're really not.

A chemical in your brain called adenosine builds up hour by hour for every hour you are awake. It slows down messages and makes you feel tired. I don't think an all nighter is a very good idea at all unless you really really need to...

That said if you want to do it any other day except the night before the exam then i don't see why not if thats how you learn..?

I love the idea of staying up late then waking up early to force you to sleep early the next night. Works well. Have no idea how you can be productive until 4am though... Seriously, I start zoning out around 1am, and it's not like I don't study well at night.

So hard to sleep, so pumped at night! I reckon I was awake until 12:30, even though I went to bed a bit after 10:30!

[lexitu]

That's not too bad.. I got about 5 hours sleep on average for my exams.

All the best everyone
