Allnighters for assignments

it really helps and makes a difference in terms of being able to "focus". drink it in sips of when you need it though otherwise, you'll just gets really hyper at one point then pass out the rest of the night.

the more allnighters you pull, the more you get used to all nights so thats how people stay up easier/doesnt need coffee.

Yeah, I pulled allnighters regularly for the entire of last year. I was doing my final year of an arts degree and I don't think there was a single essay I didn't pull an allnighter for, the entire year. However I haven't had to do that yet this year, guess I've been more organised until now... Aww, I lost my allnighterability :<

I guess part of the reason I don't drink coffee is that I'm an ex-dental assistant and disapprove of it xD I don't drink sugary drinks either unless I'm forced to for politeness' sake (so Red Bull and V are probably out too). I might consider sugarfree V as a last resort, but if I can get the same results by periodic rest/some other non-caffeine technique, wouldn't that be better?

I know, I'm such an idealist.

EDIT: Throws - haha, oh yes. Actually I managed to do two or three rounds of sleep-work-sleep-work until I fell asleep at around 5 and couldn't bring myself to wake up for another 2 hours. That was reasonably productive. Maybe I just need more alarm clocks around my room..
