College All Nighter?

Question

Ive never done it before and i really need A's on these two finals tommorow or my but is in trouble. What tips do you have to help me stay up and stuff....It's worth it right?

Answer 1

You know, some people can pull all nighters and it works. Other people... well.. can't. I know a few people who can go a long time without sleep and still function normally. But, only a few.

When I was in college, I tried to study all night a couple times, but I found that I just couldn't keep myself awake enough to understand what I was studying. After a while, I learned that the best way for me to do my last-minute review for a test was to stay up as late as I could, until I lost my ability to focus, then sleep for 3-4 hours. Then I got up really early the next morning and review for a few hours before the test.

I learned that if I didn't already have a general idea of what was going on, one night of cramming would not make much of a diference, especially for a mid-term or final, which cover a lot of material.

Also, just reading the material over and over didn't work for me. I had to write. When I re-wrote my notes, or took notes from the material I was studying, it "stuck" better. Some people need to talk about it. Some people can just read it or hear it. Everyone's learning style is different.

But, perhaps, you should try an all-nighter (make sure to get at least an hour or two of sleep before your test, or you run the risk of falling asleep during the exam.) You'll learn with the all-nighter that waiting until the last minute to study is no fun.

Good luck on your finals. And sweet dreams! :)

Answer 2

No, it's not worth it. One of the functions of sleep is to aid in the transfer of information from short term memory to long term memory. If you don't get any sleep you'll find yourself taking the exams and having the answers "on the tip of your tongue" knowing that you studied it but you won't be able to recall a lot of things. Study as much as possible, but make sure that you get at least 3 hrs sleep. That's the length of a single sleep cycle and it will help out a lot more than if you studied during that time.

Answer 3

I have never pulled an all nighter, I think I got about an hour and a half of sleep. I went to I hop and studied in a quiet section..there is usually not many people there after about 3am. good luck

Answer 4

I strongly advice you not to do it. Because you can study all night but most of the time people from lack of sleep from the night before blank out and forget the answers. Or they can also pass out. But if you have to stay up I suggest Caffiene.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Some people say you won't perform well if you don't have sleep... but I've always said- "screw that, knowledge is more important" and I'll take however long it takes to read or study what i have to because sleeping isn't going to help me remember something i haven't even studied.
