| [slm] Well I used to have a lot of coffee or tea without milk. It helps but best way is that you have some rest in day time so you don't feel sleepy at night. May Allah give you success but my advice is don't take it on your head whatever you were supposed to study you have already studied during your semester. And if there is some gap left then keep in mind you can't fill gap of months or years in few days. So my advice is sit back have some [] or coffe or tea and appear in the finals ... inshallah result will be good for you. (I used to read Naseem Hijazi's novells during my exams ...... ;)) |

| [slm] Coffee doesn't work if you have a tendency to have low BP...Just makes you feel even more icky than before... You know those listerine strips...the really strong ones....whenever you are dosing off...just place like six of those in your mouth, and you'll be wide awake in no time. :o ;D I honestly don't know....I have never successfully pulled an ALL nighter for studying, except for Physics in high school...and I hated that feeling in the morning -- the one where your heart is racing, and you feel like you have eaten too much, because you drank like 20 glasses of water in order to stay awake, and you don't know if the studying paid off anyway, because you are just SO tired -- so I haven't done it ever since. But inshaAllah you'll do REALLY well, sis. Study effectively, if you are short on time..... Do NOT decide that you are going to start taking notes from "Chapter 1: Introduction to the Scientific Method," if you already know that stuff. :) May Allah give you the taufeeq to excel. Ameen. Wasalaam. |

| [slm] I haven't done an all nighter before because pesonally I think that's just poor planning. Now if you want advice on doing all nighters, you should be talking to your peeps out there like Jannah and Se7en (both of whom do all nighters constantly [NOTE: just log on the board at strange times of the night to see evidence of this]). :) |

| [slm] all nighters - story of my life i tell you. i think the best advice i can give you, is to avoid pulling an allnighter as much as possible. seriously. but, if its absolutely necessary and you know you'll flunk otherwise then here are a few tips to make it a productive night. i used to stay up as late as possible without drinking any coffee/caffeine. only because within 2 or 3 hours, you start dozing as it wears off. i usually stay up till about 2:30 with nothing, and then around 3 i'll make a cup of coffee *no milk* and that usually does it. snacking on candy keeps the sugar rushing through your system as well. if you manage to successfully stay make it till fajr, i usually take a super cold *REFRESHING* shower right before fajr,..then pray...then hit the books once more. that way, you are practically set for the morning. SCRUB down on your teeth because they'll feel icky :-[ from all the caffeine and sugar the night before and have some fruit for breakfast. *compensate for the damage* WARNING: if you don't drink anymore coffee throughout the day, you will feel completely delirious around noon, otherwise drink some more coffee and that feeling won't hit you till later in the afternoon at which point you'll want to completely PASS out and eventually, your body will shut down... and you'll sleep like a baby. :) |

| [slm] ;-) The best thing, from experience, especially if you are doing 2 or 3 all nighters in a row is to plunge your head in the sink and turn the cold water faucet on all the way! I do that and avoid too much caffiene because I don't want to get used to caffiene to the point that it loses its effect. Then just before your exam or meeting have some coffee (no milk). Also every 2 hrs, or less, get up, walk around and stretch. If you can, do pushups because they really get the blood flow going and that helps a lot. |

[wlm] All nighters for Qiyam and at camps are a looooooooootttttttt of fun :)... Especially during Ramadan!! But for finals and projects, i always have to pull them off.. I guess the best thing that works for me is taking a nap in the evening!! you feel refreshed and ready to pull one off. I usually constantly change my locations after every couple of hrs.. caffine makes me more dizzy soo i tend to stay away from it.. May Allah(swt) give you himah to get through!! almost there.. :) my finals for summer school are also coming up in 2 weeks.. sigh!! :( |
