Is it true that pulling an all-nighter improves students' performance when studying for exams?
Unclear. Three sources bear on the claim and all point against it: a 2020 study found all-nighters predicted lower correct-answer rates than sleeping 8 hours, a 2024 experiment found one night of total sleep deprivation impaired organic chemistry learning, and a study-skills book notes alertness is needed at test time. None of these settles the general claim at full strength; they cover specific populations and settings.
