moneyfaery Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Most of us have pulled all nighters at this point. It's nothing special. 3 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deissi Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Apparently you don't speak IB yet, scstdnt. Don't worry, you'll learn. 6 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vvi Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 When my EE draft was due, we flew back from our holiday in Cyprus, got home at 10pm, and I stayed up until 7am writing my rough draft. My mother refused to let me stay home from school and sleep, so at 7:10am I was walking out the front door to go to English class. 4 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandwich Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) I never have Closest I got was when I had to finish all of my CAS reflections... I woke up asleep on my unfinished CAS folder the following morning - although I don't remember any of it, judging by how little I'd finished, I don't think I made it past 3AM! Had to skip lessons to finish that one.I would've if I could've, as the necessity was there, but... sleep is too precious to me, apparently EDIT: I think deissi means that it's kinda standard IB behaviour P: Edited May 5, 2009 by Sandwich 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vvi Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I didn't sleep more than 4-5 hours a day either, now I do coz I have exams and my exam schedule is better than my school one. But I didn't sleep that much because I was always online, using the Internet. Don't copy me. My 2nd WL was handed in 3 months after everyone else's in my class, and my work was always late. But my English teacher understands that that's just how I am I'm always late to school too. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
__inthemaking Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Pretty sure everyone has pulled at least one all nighter.I haven't pulled an all nighter since going to uni yet , which I consider a huge accomplishment considering the number of all nighters I pulled in IB.

chrypton Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 An all nighter just before an exam does not sound appealing at all... 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMI Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 An all nighter just before an exam does not sound appealing at all...The exam is in the afternoon to be fair. I'm thinking i'm gonna stay awake til 3 myself, still got to a lot of the syllabus to cover... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greaterthaninfinity Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yeah, like some of you guys, I also sleep for 5 hours, on average. Allnighters aren't that difficult to pull now that I'm used to them. Sigh. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think it's sorta sad that the only time I HAVE pulled an all-nighter is once for a school project. lol, most people (or at least all my friends) have all-nighters during sleepovers, never for schoolwork There have been many nights I've gone to bed at 3 AM though. Those days can be rough when they pile up together =[ Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biochem Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 An all nighter just before an exam does not sound appealing at all...It can be deadly, but biologically speaking it should work especially for morning exams!Your body releases a chemical in the morning as a mechanism to no sleep, in order to keep you awake. Ever stay awake the whole night and then you have a crap load of energy the next day? this is why I dunno. It's definitely a risk. I was contemplating this before my AP Spanish. Thankfully I didn't. Nothing more to be learned at that point. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruan Chun Xian Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 What do you mean? You aren't an IB student until you've had an all nighterACtually there's already a thread on this but I can't find it...probably has been closed. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipb Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Closest I've been so far: Stayed up till 3, woke up at 5 to finish a math portfolio.I only get about 6 hours a night of sleep, 7 when I have a free period first thing.I'm only IB 1 though, lots of time and opportunity to pull one.

Hmm... my body should release this chemical on demand. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
