i wake up at 4/5 everyday and get carried away.

point is to memorise my flashcards given the extra time.

have u ever done it?
I have done it before, it was for GCSE biology exam adrenaline helped stay awake then I just came home and took a nap
I got a A in that exam (low A but still an A) which Imo was definitely worth it since I had done no revision beforehand at all and it definitely went better than I thought. Saying that though, it was my last exam so I didn't have to worry about any more revision
Crime and Punishment Edexcel? You'll be fine, honestly.
I think you'll crash hard and during the exam so I think it would be better to go to sleep earlier but then wake up at 4/5 to revise
You do not want to do an all nighter.

Bad, bad idea.

Urgh. Sounds similar to Crime and Punishment, we're 1000-present. :'(
Considering you want to do it for A-Level (and it's a good one to pull up for Law applications, because you want to do Law right? I could be wrong :mmm: ), I'd say stay up a couple of hours, but make sure you get enough sleep so you actually are awake to write lmao.
Good luck :hugs:
i've only done three all nighters and, although i didn't drink any energy drinks, they didn't go well

first one was the night before results day. no work obviously, didn't anticipate sleeping well, there was a good Twitch stream i wanted to watch instead of sleeping. ended up falling asleep an hour before results came out, only woke up because my dad phoned me, went straight back to sleep

second one was for a hackathon. night went fine but fell asleep around 9am, napped for an hour and felt awful for the rest of the day

third one was at uni. didn't have any work due the day after, just didn't feel like sleeping. fell asleep for 2/3 hours at 9am and felt alright for the rest of the day

i don't recommend them but some people can continue well into the next day unscathed. i'd suggest doing a practice run some other time before you try before an exam
I believe in you..just power through the night...sleep for a while before you start thou....or split your time and do some hours today to buy yourself some sleep

if you're semi-motivated start now. divide your revision in 2 parts
if this is your first all nighter be careful cuz you will fall as sleep during the exam without enough sleep

take a nap at some point (are you sleeping tonight? get to bed early today if you can) or sleep at least 3-4 hours

if you can't then yes caffeine is effective. you're lucky your exam is in the morning since by 2-3pm you'll feel like **** so take a nap when you get home.

a few weeks ago i had AS exams. i constantly slept at 2 and woke up at 6 and I would drink coffee in the morning to pull through. i'm quite healthy so i rarely consume caffeine and one cup of strong coffee a day was enough to get me through my exams.

between 4am-5am you might suddenly feel super exhausted (idk if it's just me but that's the hardest hour to get through awake) otherwise you should be okay. good luck!
