#29: Pull an All-Nighter

Ok lemme clarify and say it's not like it's my *dream* to be up all night and sleep-deprived. But I'd never completed a full all-nighter up to this point in university, and if that doesn't belong on a university bucket list I don't know what does.

I embarked on this journey with my friend Sarah, and we prepared thorough documentation of the night. Before I take you through our night of love, tears, and a little bit of work, first look at this obviously scientifically-correct diagram of an all-nighter. I feel it defines flawlessly what we were about to attempt.

I'm sorry it's written so tiny and you had to pull out your glasses (or really a magnifying glass) for this. But I'm not technologically-inclined enough to fix this.

SO.

Based on the above diagram, to which I will refer a ton, our journey through the night begins.

10:00pm: Official start of documentation.

Here you can see our specimen is feeling upbeat, relatively well-groomed, and clearly it's dark out but these windows have a lot of glare.

12:00am: Coffee Run

I think the key to survival is to drink caffeine before you feel tired. So you never get tired. Makes sense right? Anyways, notice the patient still retains perky attitude.

2:00am: Nap

You should have had coffee Sarah. I feel that, as the patient was experiencing a sore throat, the experiment wasn't entirely conducive. Cause sucka got tea instead of coffee and it all led to this. Perched on some sort of cabinet. passed out. I think the chair is a cautionary measure in case she falls off.

3:00am-6:00am: "The Zone"

Things got serious here. Here we see the patient full immersed in the learning process, which apparently involves a lot of paper for Sarah. Look beyond the look of despair in her eyes, she was trying to break my heart and perhaps go home. NO SARAH. SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK. and the dead.

7:00am: The End

I think one more minute and she was throwing a chair through the window to escape. But then, my dear readers, THEN.

Then we stepped outside. And much like the diagram suggests, we were filled with calm and a complete (but brief) understanding of the world. Is that how everyone feels at 7am? I should further investigate. But right now I'm still recuperating from this obviously giant mistake in my sleep schedule.

I'd like to extend a special thanks to Sarah who brought us to 7am alive.
And I'd like to give myself a slap in the face. Because I accomplished so little, too busy "living" my all-nighter, I had to pull 2 subsequent all-nighters.

Sleep schedule....? What's that?
