I have a habit of finishing my schoolwork between 2-4 in the morning, ever since I started college. I know procrastination isn't anything new for college students or even students in general, but I don't really know anyone else who has this particular habit. 4 hours of sleep a night isn't anything special for me. It doesn't matter if it's a large assignment or just typical homework, but music and the internet consistently stretch out my work time until the early morning.

I'm guessing some other Escapists are like me in this regard, so I wouldn't mind knowing that I'm not alone.

I seldom do homework, and when I do homework I often pull 'allnighters'.

Funny, the higher the level school I'm in the less productive I get.

I'm suffering this too. I can only get things done at the very last minute, normally only finishing at 2 or 3am.

But tired high produces excellent english work!

If usually start around 8 but actually start at 10 because all of a sudden my room is a mess, or i smell like pig shit, or i have to do laundry. I use to be much worse

The last statement you made applies to me as well. I seem to care less when I'm doing something challenging.

I really need to buckle up, my first GCSE is on the 13th of November.

Thanks for the input. It's actually 3 in the morning here in Beijing right now, and I'm hopefully going to be finished with my homework in maybe 15 minutes. I got used to having a constant supply of free caffeine-filled coffee at my school's cafeteria, but here I have to rely on tea, which sort of sucks. Of course, it's healthier, natural, blah blah blah, but none of that helps you when you're sitting bleary-eyed in class for four hours straight.

I didn't do my homework in around 6 years. I'm 18 btw ;).

PS. I still get good grades though. Guess I'm just an intelligent bastard (or a lucky one ^_^)
