Bah! Sleep is overrated.

If you don't sleep, you increase cortisol levels, which is/results in the physiological stress response. This takes mental resources away from acquiring knowledge to worrying about your wellbeing along with the natural fatigue. Along with that, if you're going to study instead of sleep, you make sense of most of the day's knowledge during REM sleep. If you don't get that, you don't consolidate info very well. It's a bad idea. Sleep is the right idea.

You won't hardly get any REM in 3.5 hours.

You don't need to acquire any more knowledge during the exam

not to mention if he is betting on passing a midterm on only knowledge learned the day before it, he is doomed.

I got 3.5 hours last night before my final, and it didn't go too bad.

Maybe if you had slept earlier, you would have done better.
Fucking lazy college kids :roll:

I think the sun in Granada is getting to your head. Read the bolded again, slowly this time. 😛

did not go too bad = not bad = passing = WMK!

So how did it go OP? Update required.

Fell asleep around 4. Alarm went off at 7, didn't wake me up until around 7:50. Made it (barely) on time to the exam. Took a 3 hour exam in 30 minutes (business stat is a joke) and went to work. Going to do it again for my exam tomorrow in financial accounting.

Sleep, but you're fucked if you had to cram so hard that you only left less than 4 hours for sleep.

My vote is for the 1 hour power nap.
