    You can always try a caffeine nap, they got me through a lot of late nights studying in college.

    When you’re tired and about to collapse, down a cup of coffee or an energy drink and immediately go to bed. You’ll wake up in 30-60 minutes feeling… Well not quite fully refreshed, but at least awake and a lot better than you felt before.

    Don’t do it several nights in a row, you’ll quickly hit diminishing returns and you have to pay back that sleep debt eventually; but it can absolutely get you through an all-nighter. Maybe even 2 if you push it.

      When you’re so tired you’re ‘about to collapse’, what’s even the point in studying? Don’t pretend your brain was able to retain any of the words you tried to shove into it.

        Golly, I guess I just imagined passing all my classes and graduating. Thanks random internet person who obviously has such deep insight about my mental ability that they clearly know what does and doesn’t work best for me, personally. And here I thought I was the one who knew the most about how my brain works; considering I’m the one who’s been using it my whole life. Who could have known that it was some person on the internet who’s never met or interacted with me that had all the right answers this whole time? What a fool I’ve been.

        You’d be surprised, but those sessions are best for review, not for trying to wrap your head around new concepts.
