my schedule was completely upside down for 6 nights and 7 days. meaning, i pulled all nighters almost every night and tried to sleep during the day (which never really works for me) when i had time to. it's not impossible to do though i only recommend it if you're actually gonna study more than you normally do during the day.

first, DON'T do: energy drinks, strong coffee, etc. yeah, they keep you awake. they also mess with your focus and cause you to crash real hard later.

so how do you stay awake? food and weak coffee/tea every few hours (you want a caffeine buzz, just not one that overwhelms you). junk food doesn't help because again, you'll crash and you'll crash hard. and i've heard of people falling asleep while taking their exams. anyway, about the food. treat it like mini meals, and eat them more often. like every 2 hours eat a snack. that way you're never hungry (losing focus) or overly full (which makes you sleepy). you have the energy you need to keep working. if you're not down with the caffeine, make sure you eat high energy foods (dried fruit, nuts, etc.).

the insurmountable problem with trying to stay awake for long periods of time is that you can't fall asleep! i haven't figured out that one yet. personally, if it's daylight out, i have issues trying to get to sleep, so i end up being constantly sleep deprived during finals, and still not being able to fall asleep.

anyway, i'm on a normal person's schedule now. wake up at fajr, go to sleep around 10. it's heaven.

I wasn't joking.

Depriving your brain of sleep isn't funny, and trying to see how long you can go without sleep isn't cool.

Your body [and brain] have rights over you.

I suffer from insomnia a lot..however i find if i do a few rakats it helps me sleep...
