Disclaimer: IVO (including Morgan) does not promote or encourage staying up all night. Every individual should try to get a minimum of 8 hours of sleep at night. This article is just to help those who do pull all-nighters do so in a way that is productive to studying.
What’s the least fun reason to pull an all-nighter? It’s probably not studying, but let’s pretend it is because it certainly isn’t fun. As with any recipe site, let’s wait to discuss how to perform the act and instead discuss why anyone would inflict this upon themselves. But, unlike a recipe site, if you don’t care about the why and just want to know how, it’s marked clearly below where to begin so go ahead and skim ahead, just like you did with your class readings.
Maybe you study best in condensed, heavy bursts; maybe there were events beyond your control that led you to this; maybe you hate yourself; maybe you have a serious procrastination problem. Whatever the reason, you are making the conscious choice to read an article on how to stay up all night studying. There is little chance you’ll retain most of the information you study for more than a few days after the exam and a single night of sleep deprivation has been shown to significantly increase the proteins that lead to Alzheimer’s disease. Not to scare you before your big all-nighter, but just know that this might not be the smartest way to study. That being said, it is very effective if you have a strong short-term memory and the exam is the next day. In the end, it is your choice.
Throughout the night, you’ll notice a few important changes to your psyche. Of course, everyone goes in motivated and, as time goes on, it gets frustrating and you may start getting upset over the smallest of things. This is because as you deprive yourself of sleep, your emotions will be shot all over the place. Safe to say, you may want to avoid your friends and family and, if you can’t, give them a heads up. That’s not to say it condones you being a jerk, but it gives them the insight to avoid you like the plague. Another important effect is you’ll get hungry and super thirsty. If you’re on a diet, this may not be for you. Finally, if there’s a family emergency and you need your phone on you, this also may not be the right night for your study sesh.
Now that those warnings are out of the way, how to ruin your life:
Those are just some key tips to keep your study all-nighter poppin’. Really, by the time your exam hits (hopefully it’s in the morning as all-nighters are hardly effective for afternoon/night exams), you’ll feel greasy and fat and sleepy. But, in that tiredness your brain can regurgitate what you studied from the night before with ease. Afterwards, cuddle up in bed for your likely 12-18 hour nap.
Morgan has pulled all-nighters for nearly every exam since sixth grade and can attest that with her three bags of Costco candy and 10 12-packs of soda that sugar and caffeine are highly addictive but useful while studying.
