Should I stay up all night?

I say stay up all night, drinking energy drinks and drink those 5 hour enegry drinks. LOL, you will be buzzed like no other and you may see ghosts but totally worth it.

BAD idea! You'll fall asleep the second those drinks wear off, and that happens alot faster when you're exhausted.

Well the whole system went knees up..

I went to take a two hour nap at 12, but my alarm didnt wake me up.. Now it's 7 PM>.>

Lol, darn. If I may suggest, don't take a nap if you try this again. Tough it out as long as you possibly can and then go to bed, regardless of whether it's too early or not. The exaustion might just reset you without you even noticing or expecting it too. That's what worked for me. One day I was going to bed at 7AM getting up at 3PM, withing the same day I go to bed at 9PM and get up at 3AM... totally random! But it seems to be working so far!

That pretty much explains me, the less I have the more active I am... Any explanation of this? Seems to me you know a lot about this kind of stuck, or I'll just ask my pyschology teacher tomorrow.

I'm actually a Registered Nurse, I just have not worked as a nurse for a few years. I don't really understand why some people need less sleep than normal. It's a very rare thing for it to happen. Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of England during World War II, was famous not only for winning WWII but he was also a person who had very, very little sleep.

Most people do NOT have this situation though. But some do. My friend who only sleeps for 3 hours a night I don't think was too worried about things. He was leading a conference once and being a responsible person went to sleep at a sensible hour and tried to get the full 8 hours sleep most people do. After a few days he was just terrible though, his concentration was all shot and his performance was awful. When he went back to his normal 3 hours sleep, he picked right back up again.

Psychology is more about mental disorders. I'd think a physiology lecturer might be able to help more in this matter as to explaining why.

NOOOOOOO!!! Don't do it man! It sucked And it'll put you to sleep loll

Personally I just went through this. I'm currently jobless (just finished school and the economy is making it real hard to find a good job in my field /off topic) and so I have no schedule to speak of. However I hate going to bet super late and I couldn't kick the habit. So I started going to bed later and later to try and exhaust myself. I was going to bed anywhere between 7AM and 10AM. Finally 2 nights ago I just naturally fell asleep around 9PM and woke up feeling refreshed around 3AM, no alarm clock nothing. Same thing last night, woke up around 4AM. Feels great and it seems to be a good system.

This was basically the solution I suggested in my spoiler quotes, just with less words. Remember that while doing this, it's important to try and build into a routine when you get near the end and start sleeping normal hours.

Stay active during the day, have a routine to get to sleep, and be willing to turn away from whatever is keeping you up late. There is always tomorrow, and almost everything can wait then. Especially if it's LBP or posting on these forums.

Actually it's TV that gets the better of me lol. I don't like to leave a program halfway through xD

And then, another one starts that I like, so I roll over, try and face the wall, but then something funny happens, so I roll over again to find out, and it just goes on like that for the next 3 hours :/
