All Nighters

I have always wondered how people pull all nighters. I am not able to function the next day with less than five hours of sleep, so therefore I have never pulled an all nighter. I would fall asleep in every single lecture. However, there are many people who are staying up till 3 in the morning trying to cram in last minute studying or finishing up a paper. I would not be able to function that late. Once midnight occurs I force myself to drop everything I'm doing and just go to sleep regardless if I still needed to learn one more topic. I simply say that I'll finish it up tomorrow.

There are many people I know who can pull 3 hours of sleep for three days in a row. For instance, my mom is constantly working. She gets hardly any sleep and when she wakes up she's surprisingly wide awake and ready to go for work. Of course she has a tall americano in her hand every morning as well. I could never be able to go without sleep. I think to myself maybe if I sleep more, then maybe, just maybe I'd be able to grow just a little more and become taller than my YOUNGER sister. However, that never happens, so I force myself to sleep early so I won't be half asleep at each class I attend.

This past weekend was prom and even though I attended Prom, I wasn't able to attend any of the after parties. This was due to my mom being concerned about me getting my homework done. She was afraid of me staying up all night and then the next day I wouldn't be able to get any homework done. I hate to admit it, but she's probably right. I probably would've stayed up till four in the morning, but then sleep all day because I couldn't be able to function with out sleep. As I'm talking about sleep, I feel like taking a nap right now. Punahou is part of the reason many students gets a lack of sleep. During the month of may, I have especially seen a change in my sleeping. I feel like I'm constantly doing more and more work, while not getting any sleep.
