Re: All nighter tonight!Yep you need to sleep, get off of here!!!! If you were proficient in all-nighters (like me) you wouldn't need to ask for help to stay up. How will we keep you awake anyway? Are you going to give your phone number out to a stranger on the internet so that they can call you and wake you up?(Original post by emily909)
Is anyone doing an all nighter tonight? looking for someone to keep me awake! I have my AS history exam tomorrow and i really need to revise tonight!

Re: All nighter tonight!Always find all-nighters are only effective for me if it's writing an essay for deadline rather than revising. Losing a night of sleep makes me slower the next day.
Good luck with it, drink caffeine and eat sugary snacks. -

Re: All nighter tonight!I disagree. Once i only had 3 hours sleep before an exam, and i was completely effed in the exam. I wasted 5 mins reading the first question as it made no sense to me, when in fact, it was really easy and one which i had practised on numerous occasions.(Original post by QwertyG)
I did an all nighter before one of my exams in January... what people say is about being REALLY tired is a load of tosh... -

Re: All nighter tonight!Work from now to midnight, don't do an all nighter! You'll need to be fresh for the exam! If it's AM, go to bed at midnight. If its PM, work a little bit longer!(Original post by emily909)

I have AS History tomorrow as well.
I find all-nighters are possible if I'm doing actual work, but I can't do it with revision. I need my sleep so my brain actually works the next day!
I do however have a rather effective method for learning huge quanities of information in an evening. I had to learn about 20 case studies for geog gcse last year in an evening. I did stay up 'til twelve, but I did it. I use mindmaps.
Anyway, best get back to revision! -

Re: All nighter tonight!What I find with all-nighters...
10pm -getting really tired. Wanting to sleep, f the exam etc. etc.
12am- 3am peak productivity, get loads of revision done - more than you've done the whole year.
3am-4am - exhausted. Just want to close your eyes and lie down.
4am - onwards... wide awake, but really irritable. Your body feels shattered but you are doing some good last minute cramming and ready to get your exam over and done with.
The real challenge of them is just getting through the times you feel extremely sleepy - I recommend getting a cup of tea and having a walk

Re: All nighter tonight!All nighters work with coursework and essay, try this, revise till 12, get 3-4 hours sleep and then at 4 revise till your exam, you will feel refreshed
i done an all nighter for my exam, trust me after a while your body gets use to it, you will still function properly as long as you avoid lying down or closing your eyes
if you feel tired, walk around, drink something and try to take regular breaks, you will slow down during the night so try to take more shorter breaks
it can be doneLast edited by the man from space; 14-05-2012 at 13:39. -

Re: All nighter tonight!Might not be, people sometimes feel like they haven't done enough, even after countless hours, there are some perfectionist out there(Original post by tom.west)
I'm assuming this is because you haven't done any revision previously? -

Re: All nighter tonight!Same here, still have so much to go over:/ think i'll make sure to sleep for at least 4-5 hours though because after History will still have English to revise the next day(Original post by emily909)

Re: All nighter tonight!I know, that's why I'm asking. If she has revised, even if she feels like it's not enough, then she should sleep. There's no point taking the risk in my opinion.(Original post by the man from space)

Re: All nighter tonight!Even though i agree that she should sleep but the extra hours act as comfort in knowing that she knows the course inside-out, she could have a panic attack tomorrow as she could feel that she doesnt know the course well enough(Original post by tom.west)

Re: All nighter tonight!I'll admit, I did this.(Original post by moonymeen)
I think it's important to get at least 2 hours of sleep!! It just refreshes your mind slightly and you really need the rest. I never had an all nighter, but I did sleep for 2-3 hours some nights before exams.
I slept from 5 - 7am and was fine. Now though, I'm quite tired and trying to revise chemistry. Probably time for some more Pro Plus
