What would you do? I don't think sleep is a viable option at this point except maybe a nap. I know I have to fix my sleep schedule but right now I'm worried about the current situation. Sorry if this isn't the right place for this type of question.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?
 


I would study until 12, then try to sleep. Do not drink any coffee
I also have really bad sleeping habits.I sometimes can't fall asleep and stay for 6 hours looking at the ceiling just before going to an exam.:cry:

No, it's the right place, but you may not like the answer. Part of being a good student is managing your body and what it needs. You should maybe re-evaluate your management process at this point.

After all, what's of primary importance...your education, or whatever it was that caused you to be waking up at 5:00 PM when you have a test in the morning?

Why did you wake up at 5PM? Please do not try to play us for fools. Do you work swing shift full time and go to school?
 


a lot of students tend to develop better study habits after retaking the courses once or twice.
 


Had 5 5hr energies and other things. I aced the test. Nevermind.

Sorry I didn't respond yesterday guys. I totally forgot I made a thread. I did well on the test and didn't fall asleep until 5 am... I think I went overboard with the caffeine. XD

I was going to recommend them :biggrin: There are 7hr too but they go for only like 1 hr for me.

Last term a day before my last final exam, I decided to pull an all nighter for fun along with few other people. But I never had to for the whole term.
