Final exam week wisdom...

Check out this article about a study that found that students who pulled all-nighters earned lower grades than students who don't. This actually makes a lot of sense to me. When I see students coming in for an exam and I can tell they haven't slept, it isn't hard to see the drawbacks.

I've never actually had to pull an all-nighter, as procrastination scares the crap out of me. (There's a long story there about a fourth-grade research paper on the Apache that I put off and it almost got me severely burned. God himself intervened by sending a freak snow storm that canceled school the next day. That was enough: I learned my lesson.)
