This is the story of half of my high school life & my college life so far. lol ><

I find that for some strange reason, i function a lot better when i end up doing assignments and projects at 3:00 in the morning. Maybe it`s because there`s nobody online I can talk to / procrastinate. IF i manage to get any sleep at all, i usually sleep from 5-6am, and then get up to put the finishing touches on the assignments. But i usually just end up pulling an all-nighter & sleeping later that day.
boy:mentality
the latest i've stayed up to write a paper is 2-3 am... the lastest i've stayed up to study for a test is 4 am. so yeah, i've been cramming until 4 am every night for the past two weeks for final exams.

i was up till around 7am today. the worst part was that i wasn't even procrastinating. i just kept screwing up on a computer accounting assignment that pretty much forces you to start completely over if you make a mistake.

4 AM. Only happened once though. I got 4 hours of sleep, went to that class and it lasted for about an hour, then I skipped my calculus help session and went home to take a nap. A long quiet nap. biggrin.gif

Hmm... 8am? Was doing editing for my video assignment. Sometimes, when I am too tired, I probably sleep and wake up around midnight, and continue my work until morning. And it's off to class at 9am. That's nuts. I will avoid that the next time. lolz... Big time procrastinator that's why... haha..

haha i procrastinate way too much. just last week i stayed up all night/morning basically. was distracted most of the time. i finally ended up focusing and finishing the paper at 11:00 AM. the paper was due at 2:00pm

I kind of left my speech reflections term paper until the last minute...the night before it was due. But thank goodness it wasn't a hardcore research paper otherwise I definitely would've been screwed. Took me a good 5 hour timespan for me to complete, edit, and write it.

Got a 23/25 on it. Not too shabby.
GO!zilla
ive gone 50 hours without sleep. that's probably the most for me. one day i was studying for a final, the next day i was writing a paper. tongue.gif... freshman year. i have done that ever since.

I've only done it once. i had to redo my law assignment which my lecturer gave me one night to do it. but that same night, i had to go out to celebrate my friend's birthday so we went out for dinner and clubbing after that. came back around 4 and i so i started working on the paper till 7 am and slept for an hour before class.

i've tried not having any sleep at all...
me and my classmate started around 8 pm editing and finished around 8 am...
i went directly to school really sllepy...
after our lunch break we had an exam which i failed 'coz i can't seem to read the words 'coz i was so sleepy...
itrayya
the latest was... 4am.
well, that was because i just got back from watching spidey 3.
so i stayed up for a while to get something done.
it wasnt due til 5pm the next day but... it's good to be ahead.
but not so good to be sleep deprived.

Velocitii
i stall so much now that i dont even sleep when doing projects/essays last minute
i usually start my work at 3am and end an hour before class starts and just walk straight to class
dont usually feel sleepy, maybe im used to it, i just drink alot of coke or eat some sugar to keep me up through the night and throughout the rest of the day

I pulled an all nighter doing an essay and I finished at around 9AM but had to get ready for school :S.
'Noche.
what I tend to do when I feel like procrastinating is work on my papers until maybe 12-2, then sleep a little, wake up at 4 and then finish the rest with a "fresh" mind. But this method is NOT recommended if you can't wake yourself up! o.O

Next year, my goal is to finish all my assignments by at least 10 the night before the due date. (like that's going to happen).

I've gotten better with the procrastination, but from time to time, I still find myself staying up just a tad later than usual to finish a paper, a lab report, or homework. Since I've gotten my act together, the latest I've stayed up to finish something would be an hour later than my usual sleeping time.

There was this one Sunday last year where I was studying for an exam on a Wednesday. It was my electric motors class, which has always been a pretty easy class for me. As I was studying, I had a question about something I read, so I called up my friend and asked him the question. He explained it to me, and in the end, he wished me luck for the exam for tomorrow, and I responded, "What? Tomorrow?!" I still had one chapter left to study, and yet I haven't even begun it yet! I ended up accidentally drank too much green tea and stayed up the entire night to finish studying. Good times, because I ended up scoring an A-.

i've pulled multiple all nighters where i didn't get any sleep until the end of classes the next day.

The most I did an all nighter was probably 48 hours. Usually its till about 10am and the good thing is that I'm still energetic during the day.
Ohgeewee

Luckily my procrastination in college hasn't been as bad as it was in high school (and plus, you can go do other stuff and come back to your work and do a little more and go out and have fun again xD;). In high school I remember procrastinating on a 30-page research paper and not going to bed until 6 am, then waking up an hour later to go to school and hand in the paper lol..that wasn't too fun.
*.:StarryEyeSurprise:.*
how bout doing an all nighter

I pulled an all nighter for an English portofolio that was due at 10a.m. Wrote till 9:30a.m. and then started running to the classroom to turn it in. Then I studied for four hours till my Chemistry final. I spaced out during the final. My TA looked at me funny. Spaced out panda.. @.@ Soo.. I guess I slept after that final; 4:30p.m.

First time I tried this because of sickness....

12-6 trying to concentrate on calculus; 7-9 cal test; 9 - 12 chem assignments before it's due at midnight; 12 - 4 study 2 chapters of words; 4-7 insomnia = no sleep; 7-9 study for Biology quiz; 9-10 test, 11-2: classes....

Therefore I didn't sleep for nearly 26 hours...

Yep ^^ that's the extent I went through for being sick...and a lot of tests....^^
