Rave! 10 and 1/2 hours of sleep!

Post by JCShutout »

After the 90 minutes I got Wednesday night, I couldn't make it past 7:30 last night, went to bed then, and got up at 6:00am this morning.

Woo, I feel great!

Its been a week since I've had more than 3 hours of sleep at one time. Finals are fun.

I remember 18 hour days during finals week, but those other 6 hours were spent sleeping. I pulled one all nighter, realized it was the most incredibly stupid thing in the world, and never did it again.

I worked hard, but always got some sleep. I suggest the same to my son, and to anyone else who would like advice on such things.

I generally try to do that and get atleast 4-6 hours, but the last night before it was due I was stuck on something that just took a lot of extra work and time.

Finally a couple of years ago I learned the benefit of not procrastinating. Its amazing how much easier papers are when you work on them all semester. Thing is, this is my first final exam in like 2 and 1/2 years. usually we just have a longer paper worth about 85%-95% of the grade.

I always ended up staying up late to write papers due to horrible procrastination, but I find that staying up late to study for a test is a really bad idea. You'll do better with less studying and more rest.

I've been running on empty for what seems like a few weeks now. I had finals for two weeks, which segued directly into training for another week. I can barely keep my eyes open, but I'm still awake. :D
