     i started pulling all nighters back in 8th grade

      i didn't have any choice. i was too pressured

      to do good because i am the oldest. i pulled

      all nighters for the last exams of 8th grade. i

      didn't feel anything so i continued it in 9th

      grade. 9th grade, however, was way more

      hectic. projects, reportings, quizzes, and act

     ivities were all thrown at us simultaneously.

      we barely had time to rest.

     even during recess or lunch, lesser students

     go out of our classroom for a meal, just to

      complete all the work we had to do. i stayed

     up to 2-3 am to study and woke up at 4 to

      study again (i originally wake up at 5 to get

     ready for school). i didn't get proper sleep

      throughout 9th grade. i started staying up for

     quizzes on the next day.

     i didn't really feel anything bad happening on

      my health, probably because i was too busy.

      i forgot to take care of myself, and i didn't notice

     that it started taking a toll on both my physical

     and mental health.

❛ effects on me ❏

﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀﹀

    i once pulled an all nighter for my maths test

     and accidentally fell asleep whilst taking the

     test. i woke up 5-10 minutes before the test

     was to be ed to our teacher. i couldn't

     even the formula. i just stared at

     my paper until time was over

    for my physical health, i was dizzy almost

     everyday. my stamina wasn't the best, and

    i've had times when i was having a hard ti

    me breathing. my palms and lips were pale

    that even my friends noticed. my eyesight

    got worse that it was blurry even when i am

    wearing my glasses.

    for mental health, i was very unstable. i felt

    empty the whole year. i was blank all the ti

    me i don't even notice my friends calling out

    my name. my anxiety got worse, i even found

    myself sleeping in class. i also became so

    forgetful that it started to worry me.

      my overall thoughts are: you shouldn't start

      pulling an all nighter. as time es by you'

      ll find yourself relying on an all nighter. and

       if you are already doing it, lessen the days

      of pulling an all nighter, if you can't remove

       the habit completely.

       afterall, your health is your first priority.

        what's the use of achieving all those awards

       when your health is slowly deteriorating?

       that there are ways to avoid

        pulling an all nighter. and an all nighter

       isn't always the best solution (from my

        experience).

       personally, i don't think i'll be using the

        method anymore the next school year

       because of obvious reasons.

ᵒᵘᵗʳᵒ ᵎ

           i hoped my experience helped you on

           knowing the possible effects of pulling

           an all nighter. i hope that many of you

           choose to refrain from using the method.

           n e ways, continue to smile and ace the

            school year ! bai bai peeps!
