What is a good way to pull an all nighter for studying. I dont have time to study any other time.?

Question

I work and go to school and sometimes i have no other choice but to pull an all nighter. Pls help. what studying methods do you use?

Answer 1

My main problem when pulling all-nighters is trying to stay energized so that I won't get distracted. I've found drinking something continually will help. I usually stick with Pepsi One/Coke Zero, Arizona Green Tea, and a Red Bull Sugar-Free every hour past when I normally go to sleep.

I will also take a shower or two during the middle of the night to stay awake.

As for studying, I would suggest a well-lit area in a place that you find comfortable. Focus on doing work in 40 minute intervals, as studies have shown that you absorb the most information in first and last 20 minutes of studying.

Make sure that you set a nearby alarm clock so that if you do fall asleep by accident that you will be woken up at the correct time to be able to get ready for the day.

Answer 2

i record my classes and then play it while i sleep and a lot of times i can remember it that way. The whole studying thing does not really work for me unless im real interested in what its about. Red bulls help so u wont fall asleep if ur pulling an all nighter. You could try to study every chance u get like in the car etc. sometimes i do that, but i have trouble concentrating on one thing at a time i multi task constantly hope this helped! :)

Answer 3

I do it all the time and I still havent found the ideal method b/c the truth is- some nights your body can handle it and some nights (esp. if uve had bad sleep the several nights prior) it is close to impossible. Caffeine (in any form) will help but the issue with it is your body can be energized but your brain can still feel like mush and distractions are inevitable so you have to work extra hard to avoid them. If you are do something highly creative, I dont recommend it, but otherwise Im sure youll be ok. So, good rest several nights before + fresh air + deep breaths + a study partner (if possible) + fruit (synthetic sugar will cause crashing, natural sugar lasts longer) + set 2-4 alarms (or get someone to wake you up- ive had experiences where ive been 2 hrs late to a 3 hour final) + if you find yourself drifting off- shower or little bursts of exercise (eg. jumping jacks, jog in place, quick run) + natural eye drops to lubricate those suckers! My eyes are very prone to drying and getting tired- this is essential if your work is done at a computer.
Best of luck to you! :):)

Answer 4

it is very simple whenever you return from school you should go to bed for at least 1 to 2 hrs and then start studying , you may take your meal before you sleep not after waking up then keep such arrangement for tea of coffee whatever you like it will help you to pull when you feel sleepy, the other thing can be done that you may search someone in the family who could sit with you and the best will be if someone studies with you no matter who so ever or in any class he or she studies.

Answer 5

ok, so when i was in college here is what i would do, i always slept for like 2 hours at some point in time, but i would drink a four pack of redbull, and take an extra aderoll. Before i was prescribed aderoll i would take diet pill. I dont recomend this but diet pills work and your local gnc will help you with which ones to buy.
