Can staying up all night make you feel sick?

It can, and it often does. But every now and then, a student will "pull an all-nighter"-- stay up all night studying, or someone who has to work a late shift has trouble getting to sleep after the shift is over. The result is usually exhaustion, headaches, and a general feeling of being disoriented, but it is temporary, and rarely a serious problem. But even if you are one of those lucky people who don't suffer severe symptoms, staying up all night is not a good habit to have. The body does need sleep, and if you don't get enough of it, you may indeed feel miserable the next day. Keep in mind that it's a myth that drinking lots of coffee and/or energy drinks is a substitute for getting some sleep. Even if you can grab a couple of hours of sleep, it's better than nothing.

Whenever I have to stay up late I notice that if I stay up very late 5 am and get little sleep I actually feel less tired than if I go to bed earlier in the morning is there a reason for this?

Yes, this is because you become overtired. When you become overtired you feel worse if you sleep for a while, but if you get little sleep you don't feel as bad. Your body naturally wants to stay awake so sleeping when overtired makes you feel worse than if you'd stayed awake. Hope that made sense, and helped!

How does REM sleep differ from NREM sleep?

REM sleep, also called rapid-eye movement sleep, is when dreams occur. Our brain is more active during REM, it generates 'smaller and faster brain waves' (Hockenbury 142). The first stage or episode of REM is brief, lasting between 5-15 minutes. NREM sleep (non-rapid-eye-movement, is when brain activity slows down. NREM sleep is grouped in four stages. Stage 1 lasts only a few minutes during which you teeter on the edge of sleep and consciousness. During this stage it is very easy to be woken up by the littlest sounds. During stage 2 breathing becomes rhythmical. Stage 3 and stage 4 of NREM "are often referred to as slow-wave sleep" (Hockenbury 142). Sleepwalking is known to occur during this stage.
