I'm a self-proclaimed perfectionist and overachiever. Lately, I'm always afraid that I won't study enough for my tests, so I always set aside at least the two nights before the test to study. I always end up wasting half of the time, or over studying, but I find preparing way ahead of time helps keep me sane.

The only time I work well under pressure is when I have a website due. There are certain conditions under which I work for HTML coding - I need to have a "muse" hit me so to speak. And I need to be listening to Jimmy Buffett.

Pulling all-nighters just makes me cranky and miserable. Its much easier to just work ahead of time, I think

There is definitely an acquired skill to all-nighters. I'm used to staying up late because i've also worked the last two summers on shit work. I see to be really productive when it's on the line...but there's nothing wrong with being conservative, all-nighters will backfire for some ppl sometimes.
