    Personally, sacrificing sleep does not work for me because I may gain a few hours late at morning but the next day, I would not be as alert as I was and thus have a less productive day.

    I rather not gain that few extra hours, go to bed, have a good night sleep and a productive day the next day.

    I do not cram for exams. I sleep 10 hours a night. I feel so much better with enough sleep. When I don't have enough sleep I can't concentrate.

    Coffee works for me. But normally during the exam season I don’t feel much sleepy.

    This article seemed to help me during exams. It seems general but if you stick to it, it does wonders.

    This is coming from experience.

    Good luck!

    Coffee is the ideal option, it makes me refreshed. Also I would recommend group studies at night, it is really productive.

    I usually fall asleep when I drink caffeine, so I drink a glass of very cold/iced water to wake myself up.
