A guide I made a while back goes more in-depth but shares a lot of the same suggestions as that article. I suggest you look at both after this affair is over as clearly you are in a good position to learn more about sleep :p | ||

there are entire programs that show you how to attain good rest by using only "powernaps" but with an average work schedule it is pretty much impossible to be able to get into the rhythm. edit: to stay 100% on topic, i have pulled many-an-all-nighter and rarely is it ever worth it. it can ruin your sleep schedule and make you super irritable. it really sucks having to pull another all nighter after the first one just to be able to go back to sleep at a regular hour. | ||

in my experience, if i'm up for a long time and take a short nap (1-2 hours) i end up being a lot more sleepy when i wake up. i'm usually not sleepy after i pull an all-nighter, and can function properly for about 40 hours before i need sleep. | ||

I think what you meant is to wake up when your brain is between deep sleep cycles... basically when you are in the lightest sleep. This can be tricky to accomplish and I experimented with a cell phone program to help with this. You place it in your bed with you and its accelerometer determines when you are rolling over and when you are still... from that it can tell when you are transitioning between sleep cycles and attempt to wake you at the least painful time... kinda unsure if it really works or not though. Someone else once told me a trick to try to avoid your alarm going off while you are in deep sleep is to make a point while setting your alarm right before going to bed to say to yourself in your mind what time you are planning on getting up. For example "It's 11pm now, and I'm getting up at 6:30am tomorrow morning." Supposedly, research has shown that you are more likely to be outside of deep sleep at your waking time if you do this somehow... although I haven't seen the actual research. | ||

Exactly my thoughts! I sorta gambled if I should sleep or not. Now that I have like 1 hour left till I should get up, and I dont regret my choice. I'm sure tomorrow will be a hellish day and I realize I will be counting hours and drinking loads of red bulls. Oh well, if I remember i'll let you know how my day was, so if u guys see "what a shitty day" or something similar, check it out haha! | ||

Staying up a second day is very difficult if you are relying solely on drinks and things like that. Staying up on a second day is not difficult if you are pumped/excited. It's hard to create this artificially but you can lessen the blow by inventing ways to look at the day from this perspective, or make some kind of a deal with yourself... I guess every person varies but it's a suggestion. | ||

You'll feel like shit waking up, but otherwise you'll start getting really, really tired around 25-30 hours without sleep (though usually if you can get through a small window of exhaustion you'll get a second wind and be OK for a while after). Anyways my vote goes to sleep. | ||

Well, i'm a mover (summerjob) so its physically quite rough which I hope will help me to stay awake. And no it doesnt matter if im zombie there, all that matters is that I do my work. | ||

Having trouble with sleep isn't necessarily because you don't like it... usually people having trouble sleeping are craving it yet not getting it for one of various reasons. | ||
