Tips for pulling all-nighters?

[Edutainment]

My first tip is don't go to sleep, my second tip is do not lie down, you think "ah, I'll just lie on my bed for a moment" but you won't get up.

I tell myself this every time but do it anyway. In elementary school I could stay up all night and manage to wake up at 6am the next morning. Now, it's much harder for me. There's nothing like lying down in a comfy bed.

Especially after writing a paper or doing homework. I gotta tell you, you could sleep on large rocks and after doing brain work for a couple of hours those rocks could feel like goose down, so comfy and relaxing...

Aha, now we must travel back in time to my Junior year of High School.
Did this paper have earlier leading-up-to-the-fact things you were supposed to do? Take notes, make outlines, note cards, etc. Because if you take a leaf from my book, you could've done like 2 or 3 of those ~6 things (poorly, I might add), skipped the final outline, rough and final drafts of the paper, and pass.
I still look back and lulz.

I just walked Across the stage for high school graduation last night and thats exactly what I was thinking.

Yeah there were outlines that I didn't do. The outlines are a total of 85 points, the notecards (which I did do) are 100 points, and the actual paper itself is also 100 points. I BS'd some outlines out of the finished product and turned those in with it; hopefully I'll get at least some credit for them and still like a B in the class.

I pulled so many all nighters or late nighters, especially my senior year.

Like 7 or 8 in one semester, all for the same class.

I never learn.

Coffee always worked for me.

Dude, I'm going on 32 hours right now, blame GTA IV...

I usually rely on Mountain Dew, but Foosh mints are the way to go. They are basically just 100 mg of caffeine in a mint, and that's about it. There's not any sugar in them, so you're not going to have any kind of sugar crash.

adderall

Be carefull when you take that stuff. I took it once to study for a test and it did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do. I couldn't concentrate and my mind was jumping everywhere. My roommate on the other hand swears by it.

After being in college for 2 years now all I can say is just don't procrastinate and get your crap done early.

yea, i've had my experiences. i've used it to do homework and study. but i really think i have some form of mild add and it helped a lot.

but it does work. it's just not something i condone anymore. unless, of course, you have add.
