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.

wow im not the only one....ps i once did two all nighter in a row....it took 2 gal. of coffee....(never doing that again...i was like a chipmunk that drank energy drinks..i couldn't sit for more then 5 min without going crazzy...bad idea)

btw your body gets used to not sleeping...like no joke...

[torres]

I pulled one and woke up to 3 new pimples to my otherwise flawless skin Still looking back, I did manage to catch a few sunrises in a row

I just started the IB course, but in my IGCSE's i never pulled an all-nighter. I always say I will, but then i Tend to give up and go to sleep haha

[kerstin]

lost count of how many hahaha.. actually its not funny .. its sad... jeeez think i have another one ahead of me. anyway my point its nothing special im almost sure everyone in the IB has gone through at least some all nighters.

[Sabs44]

I haven't had to yet, but I'm guessing in IB2 all nighters will start to become more likely! :'(

[alexis0123]

haha, funny you asked because I definately think I'm about to pull one tonight
I have pulled 2 all nighters so far since being in IB. The last one that I pulled, was the first week of November I think. I waited until the day before an essay was due to write 2 drafts, edit them, and type it. (it was just a comparative essay of a book and a movie so i already had in mind of what to write). and then I also had a take home test for History of the Americas that I really should have spent more time on to get a 100 on. (but I got an 86, so it was all good). Plus I had test corrections too. Ahh! crazy stuff.
So tonight I have to do the Interpretation of Data for my Math IA that I haven't started, a TOK project (but that's due Thursday), and read some more of this boring book for History of the Americas. (I'm only on page 64 and need to be by 271 by Friday :/
ohhh, one more thing, I need to get a french article for my oral presentation in class on Friday (but gotta get it a little earlier this time because on my last French oral I got a 75 because I waited until the day before to print the article and BSed what to say on it so and didn't really speak well on it, plus forgot a conjugate a few work in my presentation).


that's all for now cause I might just keep rambling while currently procrastinating on the work i should be doing now

[hreece12]

Its 4:45 AM my extended essay draft is due in about 3 hours, not feeling to good about that

[THE IBKID]

Kinda... I slept at 1 am woke up at 5:45 am and slept at 12 am! So that's about only 10 hours of sleep in a period of 2 days, and I should sleep 8 hours a day!

Then again, I haven't started IB yet!

[KenzieD18]

You're talking to the Queen of all nighters here, IB + insomnia = not very much sleep. LoL

[Cahaela Class]

hahahahahaha.... Well seeing as this is my 2nd one... this week...
For me there is the 1st all nighter issue: Giddy and laughing all day... often accompanied by falling down and saying stuuupid ****
then the 2nd all nighter within the same week issue: Dead. Totally dead.
Manage your time. I have a friend who managed to almost never have to stay up past 12, exercised every day, pretty much everyone liked him, and I think he got a 30 or more on the exams overall.... I did always have a suspicion he was magical though.

[Crimson Red]

All Nighter? Some of my friends have done more than just an all-nighter. They've stayed up for days on end due to their up and coming exams.

I have as well. Well, just the all-nighter. till 3am to finish some book report for English.

[Bad Boys of Boston]

I have several times and it's not a good experience. You may or not feel sleepy during your all nighter. But you'll definitely feel the aftermath next night you try to sleep. In fact I might have to do one tonight. Damn you Chem IA. And it's not exactly my fault, I had to go to ROTC boot camp for a week and the teacher didn't give any of me (and the guys who went with me) any kind of time compensation whatsoever. >: (

[Jayesaphine]

Pulling all nighters is just a standard requirement for the IB. Stay away from red bull, that's all I'm gonna say. It will ruin you.

[Victorious]

Ah, all nighters are such a natural thing in IB.

So is coffee and lots of sugar.

I have actually stayed up for more than three days just trying to finish my essays due to the really close deadlines.
Ah, happy day.

Wow same here! I had to turn in my extended essay and two English essays yesterday by 10:14, and I barely made it. I had stayed up for three nights prior to coming to school for the first time that day since I couldn't have finished all of my work without missing school. But now all my teachers are threatening me with terrible grades. Coffee didn't help me as much as I thought it would have though. Instead, I was drinking lots of water and trying to mentally block thoughts of exhaustion and failure in my head and thankfully, it all worked out!

[parkhaelee]

those who have never pulled an all-nighter, I am very jealous of! you guys are either really smart people, or uncaring about what grades you get in ib.
I've had to stay up at least 4 times without sleeping at all. :/ stupid ib. lets team up and sue them.

OMG. That sucks. It was the same for me but I had to give in my ToK essay and study for a few tests the next day. I was on coffee like an addict. It sucked! Luckily I had finished my extended essay way earlier. Phew!

Haha, I wish it were that easy. Oh, the people that haven't done all-nighters are blessed in my opinion. God loves them more.
