My Experience With All Night Reading A.k.a Till Day Break by CampussNews: 7:15am On Dec 02, 2021
Update from

When I got into the university, I had this unforgettable experience. Every night, I saw a few groups of students going to read. They would leave their hostels around 9pm and return by 6am to prepare for lectures.

We all admired them. As they walked back to the hostels every morning, people would shout 'Genius!' 'Brain!' 'Your head is so hot, it's on fire!" One day, I decided to join them.

That night, with my bag full of books, I walked to the largest hall used for overnight reading. I moved quietly to avoid disturbing the students reading inside. But when I entered the hall, my jaw dropped!

Many students were fast asleep. Some even brought mattresses and pillows along and slept until morning! Others were watching movies, conversing loudly and playing video games. I was somewhat disappointed!

I just walked quietly to a desk in the corner, lay down, used my bag as a pillow and slept off. The next morning, as I walked back to my hostel looking tired, what were people saying to me? 'Genius!' 'Brain!' 'Your head is on fire!' grin grin cheesy For Sleep I sleep

In my final year then in school, my group used to be 4 in number.
A particular course then was readjusted from the exam timetable but we never knew. We knew two days to the exam
A day to the exam we decided to come together as usual, we promised ourselves it was Gon be Till the day breaks and after that, shower and go sit for the exam.
We were all Hungry so we contributed money to get cook something so we can fire down till dawn.

We prepared a sumptuous meal that night before reading.
After the meal, we all decided to rest for about 1hr and kick off by 12
We were all shocked to wake up by 7am.
Only one of us failed that course tho, the rest of us had Ds.

I never tried this in school.

The time I attempted to join them was a disaster because I was there just to discourage and convince them it was a waste of time. Las las we all went back to our lodge by 11pm and slept like no man's business.

Had many experience, lemme share this one
That year we where 6 in numbers reading partners, 3 guys, 3 girls

So the day of econometrics exams, we all decided to do TDB the previous night, we ate night meal and then headed to the reading hall with the following item garri, sugar, one bag of pure water grandnut and plenty sachet nescafe coffee ready to read til the following day. So we thought grin
We normally shared the mathematical aspect of the course amongst our self and solve each topic individually, then we combine them in exam hall. So we all choose a topic and tackle it because we do sit together during exams


So, we started reading by 9pm and when it was 11:30, we decided to top our fuel tanks with garri, and grandnut, after which we all took Nescafe coffee and decided to gist for about 1 hour, then we resume reading by 1am, anyone that schooled at uniabuja will be familiar with ETF hall, the legendary reading halls cheesy cheesy,

By, 1:25 nepa took light, and my friend chucks volunteered to be the holder of his phone light so we could continue solving maths, with all the coffee this guy drank, him still get mind slept while holding the phone, the phone fell from his hand more than 5 times within 10 minutes grin cheesy

He's the only person I have seen that sleeps after taking large amount of coffee, in fact coffee Nah him sleeping medicine grin

That was how we continue breaking and quenching until 2:30 and we decided to hit the sack and call it a day. And we ended up passing that course with good grades

As econometrics no kill person for school.that year, there is no more difficult situation way fit kill person grin, econometrics Nah your mate ?? cheesy

I tried an actual till daybreak reading once deprived myself of sleep, for a paper I had the next day, I ended up carryingover the course.

I decided that, that reading style was not for me, I have never deprived myself of a good night's sleep in the name of reading again.

And there was nothing special about studying in a classroom at night unless you are attending a tutorial or something, but for the most part I could study in my room, sleep peacefully when I felt like it and wake-up to continue if need be.
Students just add unnecessary wahala for their lifes.

I did overnight reading while I was in school and I tell you I hardly sleep at night!!!...

My routine was class to library, go to the hostel... Eat and sleep. I'll wake up by 10pm and head back to school.

I'd start reading by 11pm and I tell you won't sleep till 6am... I sometimes slept off occasionally.
It paid off as I had first class results in 7 semesters out of 10�...

Bottomnline.... No Job to reward my sacrifices ���

Back then in school, I don't waste my time reading when exam timetable isn't out yet, it took me one whole semester to discover what works for me, so I don't try to copy others...my secret is that I pay good attention to lectures and make sure I grab the vital points, after that I won't go back studying because I see that as a waste of my time since I'm good at assimilating at first glance. Once timetable is out, and I have exam a day before or the next day that's when the spirit of reading and carrying out extra research comes in....I will spend the entire day in my room studying... the first time I tried it, I thought I might not be able to grab everything within that short time, but I noticed that once I'm in the exam Hall, everything starts replaying. I was even shocked by my ability to attempt all the questions successfully....
From that day, I decided to continue that way and I graduated....So Op is right, look for what ever works for you, don't copy others, back then I only go to class at night for browsing and downloading new movies... I understood myself.

There's nothing like an evil course or else if you are struggling in the department you're in... this is where many students gets it wrong, being in the wrong department, it will make you not to enjoy school, it's expected you allow school pass through you, then you pass through school. It won't be fair if one is missing in the picture. For example, if you're not good in mathematics and calculations, and you find yourself in Engineering department, physics department, mathematics department etc, what do you think your time there will be? ....Hell !!!
So many students are performing poorly not because they are not intelligent but because they are in the wrong department. So it's up to you to know if you are in the right department or not.
Although there are some courses that requires maximum attention, I'm not taking that out...
I wish you luck my friend, you will eventually conquer and we will welcome you into another phase with open arms.
