Take eye breaks every 20 minutes or so. Bring some mini snacks with you like mixed nuts or trail mix. Drink water only.

@RedDeerGuy1 sounds like a good, healthy all nighter. Healthier than my coffee and mentos version, at any rate.

@hihellohi Thanks. In university I pulled an all weeker in the computer lab. On “the importance of being Earnest”. I got the second highest grade in the class. 65%. I had 17 grammar errors.

Don’t do them if you can avoid it. It’s not effective and you’re exhausted anyway.

In college we would go to a local ‘family style’ restaurant around 10pm each night and pull all-nighters drinking their good fresh coffee. We would also work out before going there, so we were energized and ready to focus.

Keep the room a little on the cool side and keep the lighting bright. I used to drink MILO, a malty drink with no caffeine. I’m not sure you can still get it.

Never did an all-nighter. I would have fallen asleep in class. My recommendation is get at least 6 hours sleep.

I tried it once in college. Loaded up on caffeine, and then someone gave me a pill that was supposed to keep me awake. I fell asleep in about an hour and was groggy at test time. Would have been much better off just to go to bed as usual. Not that I never crammed for an exam, but keeping up with the course was always a smarter option.

Music always helped me during this situation. But hey- candy can get that energy up. If neither of these work uh- try getting sleep at least 4–8 hours it helps.
