I always write it in the evening, but I once tried to write it in the morning, I ended up getting an A but it was terrible. I think that I just got lucky on that one. Btw this is for a book called "the alchemist" which I was supposed to have finished a week ago but just finished today.

I am in the same boat, Im going to to write a quick outline, get some sleep, then bang it.. I have a 7 page paper due tomorrow. I find this works best for me, since I worked all day, Im mentally and physically beat, so I need some rest. I advise you should do the same. Better to have some sleep, then no sleep at all.

Thanks, maybe ill do that. I had 3-4 hrs of sleep on friday, so my 12 hr shift saturday was hell, I fell asleep everytime i blinked after the first 6 hours. I got 7 hours at least last night and I popped some san tight, and felt fine today. I dont even feel tired at all, maybe I wont even be able to sleep. I think ill just write half now if I can.

You should go to sleep now, set your alarm as early as possible and write your essay. The reason I say this is because I've done it. If you try to right it now you'll find some reason not to finish, the misc, eaating something. If you write it tomorrow morning you're FORCED to finish it and do it. It's works for me!
If you have some time right now, you could do the outline and write it tomorrow.
I once read a whole book in one night and went to sleep and wrote the paper on it when i woke up. I just did the outline as soon as I was done with the book.
edit: goodluck by the way. Just know it's possible!

I say do it now because in the morning, for me atleast, I will want to sleep longer and longer, than end up not even doing it.
If you do it now, you can sleep with peace and not have to worry about it!

I think u should write half of it now and then get some extra sleep and wake up an hour early or so. Works well for me. Good luck.
