staying up all night-exam tomorrow?

[memyselfandcoffee]

I have an exam an oral exam in another city tommorow morning. I still haven't enough prepared and I don't know what have covered well enough. I'm not tired, am finding the material interesting.

I need about another 5/6 hours to get though what I need to do.

However that will leave me about 1/5 hours sleep (that is if I do indeed sleep) before i have to get bus to other city.

Is this a terrible idea?

my thinking is if i bomb because Im sleep deprived, it would be better than to go in well selpt but have nothing to say.

also another factor is that it is 1 am here and theres no way I could sleep even If i decided i should.

so opinions on my plan to stay awake till 7 am? any experience of doing this?

(i did it for written exams last year and got an A, however that was a bit of miracle -i felt physically sick)

thanks

( words of encouragement appreciated!)

I'm guessing this is late... but how did it go?
When I am really sleep deprived, I find it increasingly difficult to speak in coherent sentences... I get this dull headache in my temples, and have to work harder to find the words I want -- so I will always opt for sleep.  But I can see your dilemma.

well i passed and the examiners said I did well. but i don't think i performed well. I was exhausted and couldn't think properly and found it difficult to articulate my understanding of even basic concepts.

so lesson learned for me..... AND it's OVER!!!!!! now to sleep
