Every school day?  You serious?! That's crazy...It's probably really bad for the body.

What subjects do you take?

Are you in IB? That's practically normal... but for me I would say 6 hours is the max.
All nighties aren't a big deal if you have your best friend Mr.Caffeine by your side... And don't forget Mrs. Sugar.

I haven't done it, and I'm going to do what I can to avoid it. I plan my time and actually haven't many activities outside school, and I can't think without sleep.

I havent pulled an all nighter only because i am able to wake up early or simply Not finish the work

[herong2x]

I tried pulling an all nighter once when I had to finish my theater arts portfolio.

I did a scrapbook and it was big so it took me the whole night and i still wasnt able to finish it.

Took it the next day to school and finished by 2 30 - that was the deadline.

I dont want to pull an all nighter before an exam i would want to get at least 4-5 hours of sleep. Afraid i might doze off and fail

[Tilia]

I think you do better on exams if you've slept. If you study the whole night before an exam, you just end up confused and panicking.

Haha lol just like anyone i guess..

I pull an all nighter all the time to be honest..people on IBS are witnesses..lol.
The 'latest' i slept was 9 am . I think I BEAT YOU ALL! MWAHAHA

i usually sleep max 5 hours if im super lucky...6 hours a day from the beginning of IB2..so yeah..scstdnt, it is absolutely common.

i think i will be pulling an all nighter today to finish up my Extended Essay! woot

[Simen]

Wow, I didn't know that so many IB'ers took that many all nighters I am finished with the IB in two days and I have honestly never done one... And as far as I know, I have delivered on time for all deadlines. The longest I was up one night due to studying was until 2 am when I had to deliver the VA book. I still managed to get 5 hours or so of sleep before school ^^

Pfft, that's just a really late bedtime, Maha. All nighter as in not sleeping, going to school the next day, and sleeping 'normally' at night.

I finished IB in November last year and I never pulled an all nighter, but on average I slept 5-6 hours a day, which I doubt is very healthy. The latest I went to sleep I think was at about 4 to 4.30 a.m. to finish a part (just a part) of my Computer Science Dossier. I'm a pretty slow worker
That night I only got close to 2 hours of sleep. It's been the closest I ever got to an all nighter.

well our school wants us to finish it by this year so we will have time for our IAs and college apps for next year. We are all stressing out though...

I'm starting to realize that I'm pulling an all nighter ever night.... whyy?

[faith]

I haven't pulled an all-nighter yet; the latest for me so far is 4:30am. But since I'm only 5 months into my 1st IB year,  the worst is yet to come =( It's mostly my own fault though... I procrastinate way more than I should.

[Tilia]

A bit off topic, but instead of pulling an all-nighter, I've biked almost 30 km to change a minor detail on my maths IA. So I do sacrifice time (and effort) for my grades!

[ozolins]

I used to pull all nighters in 8th and 9th grade. I'd stay up all night, and go to school the next day without getting any sleep. As I started the IB, I was so sick of school (believe it or not, I still chose the IB, for reasons unknown), so I stopped pulling all nighters. It was impossible for me to stay up later than 3 AM. I've started going to bed at about 12, and then I get up at 4 or 5 and study until I have to go to school instead. Works much better

[the_kidd]

the IB is destroying our sleep patterns.
its ridiculous for a student to have to stay up past midnight to work, and its avoidable if you don procrastinate!

[EmS]

You mean people actually sleep in IB? Shocking!

Haha, all kidding aside, all-nighters are so common these days, I end up feeling more tired when I actually do get sleep. Anyone else feel that way?
