All Nighters
« on: December 13, 2011, 02:33:10 AM »
Good Idea? Bad Idea? Effective?  :dunno:

Some people swear by them.  Others like sleeping or something.

Thoughts?

They never work for me because I always end up hitting a threshold around 5 am where I can't write anything down except to bbs. My brain turns to mush.

The only all-nighter I ever pulled resulted in a 98% on Krishna Akkina's Managerial Econ final. :gocho:

Only done it once for school to finish a paper, for tests I'd definitely rather get at least some sleep.  Being too tired to focus seems worse than not knowing the material very well.  Adderall and other substances make me feel really strung out after about 40 hours of no sleep.

Love all nighters. A couple times though I thought "maybe I'll just take an hour nap, wake up and study more" but then I'd wake up after an hour and think "screw this, sleep feels good". Don't take an hour nap.

Also, when I saw the title of this thread, there was no doubt in my mind that EMAWmeister started it. What a crazy cat.

For writing a paper? Yes.

For studying for a test? No.

I can't think of any situation other than a Vegas bender when All Nighters are a good idea.

They are never a good idea if school related. If you are studying for a test, go to bed an hour earlier than usual. If you are writing a paper, start the paper a day earlier than you usually do and there will never be a need for the all nighter. All nighters are great if you are partying your ass off, though.

Believe it or not, last night was my first one ever.  Had a 7:30 ABO final and nothing else until friday, so I popped a vyvanse at 2:15 and hit the books!  :excited:

Tried vyvanse (60mg) for the first time a week ago. Seems like it lasts much longer than Adderall XR but not as effective.

People who pull all nighters are just awful at time management.

Having said that, I've pulled a few in my time.  You gotta do what you gotta do.

I never bothered with all nighters. If I wasn't well-enough prepared by the time I got tired, then I wasn't going to bother. Just go to sleep and enjoy it.

I'm willing to bet you'd feel differently if you had taken an adderall.
