Tips for pulling an all nighter?

Answer 1

Ok...

So try not to lay down or you will start to fall alseep and well...we don't want that! So keep yourself occupied (busy). Don't get bored or you wil get tired quickly. Don't watch a movie because then you will get tired more. Some fun things to do are:

1. Create an e-mail and make them msn and pretend your someone else!

2. Play a computer/Video Games (ex. Sims, Xbox, Wii or a Tycoon)

3. Take pictures. Really goofy so you laugh really hard.

4. Talk about people who are really annoying.

For School-related all nighters...

1. Don't panic! If you have a huge assignment or big load of homework, just remember that you can do this.

2. Ignore the internet and other technology. If you can temporarily stop your internet connection, do it.

2. Use the reward system: after x minutes of solid work, allow yourself a little food, like Chocolate Chips or two bites of a granola bar - whatever it takes to keep you motivated.

3. Stay awake and stay away from the bed. If you find yourself dozing in your desk chair, move to the cold ground. Other tips on staying awake:

• Prepare a playlist. If you are the sort of person who can work with background music, find your favorite high-energy songs, preferrably without lyrics.
• Do push-ups or other calisthenic exercises in case your muscles cramp up. I couldn't move my legs after six hours of studying, and it really won't help in class the next day!
• Drink water! It's harder for most people to fall asleep when they are full of liquids - this also means more toilet trips to keep you awake.
• If you trust yourself, take naps. Try not to exceed one hour. Alarm clocks are your friends!
• If you get tired of sitting, lay down on the ground or any other place that's not sleep-inducing, and read over the material. Then go back to your workplace to write away.

4. Breathe! Smother your stress with deep and easy breathing. This will clear your head. Breathe through your nose for five seconds, then exhale through the mouth for 8 seconds.

5. Do NOT make it a habit. Even once a week is stretching it. You really do need your sleep, particularly if you are a high school student.
