I've been waking up in the middle of a night, muttering through my revision.
It seems so weird typing this.
But anyway. My first exam isn't until the 12th June (history), and I've been working my butt off. Thing is, I've only recently started waking up in the middle of the night, rifling through the dates in my head. Or you know when you're only partially asleep and drift between being vaguely awake, and then back to sleep? Even then, I'm thinking over facts and events, without actually MAKING myself do it.
Am I overworking myself, or suffering from stress?
(Sorry for such a strange post.)

I did the same thing! I woke up in the middle of the night, and all I could think was Stalin, Bukharin, Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev etc for my Russian History exam the next day.
Just take it easy, that's my recommendation, especially as you've still got a while until your first exam. -

lol thanks(Original post by chinaberry)
It's just normal....just means you've been doing revision. Most people will do it as long as they've learnt enough stuff and are bothered enough about the exams :-)
So glad to hear that it isn't just me. Funny though, it's never happened before now- perhaps its the pressure of them being my last exams before Uni. History is a killer though. -.-

I was doing the exact same. It was so weird, I just couldn't get my mind to slow down it was just repeating snippets of chemistry and biology revision haha. Oh well, bit of extra revision, even if it is when I'm asleep haha.

this happens to me, a lot
my sleep gets messed up during exam periods!
I keep having the strangest dreams (last night's involved being stalked by jay-z who then gave me tickets to an ed sheeran concert), then I wake up at about 3ish in the morning, and start muttering and obsessing over whichever subject is my next exam. I started differentiating and integrating equations to find area under curves last night

I do the same, only my chemistry is tomorrow...Frightening. Last night, I got up and went to my desk and sat there and took out chemistry past paper questions and my English literature quotations booklet and started jotting down all the stuff, I didn't even realise since I thought it was morning and time for revision! Then I got so worried since chemistry is tomorrow and English lit is the next day and I've not learned all the quotes yet. So I stayed there until 5AM and then got tired back and went to bed, still muttering over my revision. I also had a bad dream about my physics paper being on Thursday, a few nights ago. I'm so feared of exams.

Re: I've been waking up in the middle of a night, muttering through my revision.
I went to sleep 3 nights ago, having done some revision, but I left a question unanswered, as it was so hard and I couldn't think of an answer. So after a couple of hours later, I woke up at like 3 in the morning, literally shouting out the answer, thus waking up the house. *sigh*
So glad to hear that it isn't just me. Funny though, it's never happened before now- perhaps its the pressure of them being my last exams before Uni. History is a killer though. -.-
