I usually get 8-9 hours of sleep, but I may cram study tonight and end up with only 5-6. I have a final tomorrow morning, 8AM.
I have never done this. Is it worth it?

The day before an exam, I sleep all day and get up at around midnight. Then I study until it's time for breakfast. I go eat, listen to some tunes, then I pass the exam.

You will probably retain nothing by trying to absorb a lot of information quickly.
If you'll sleep better after cramming, then do it. Just don't reduce your sleep too much.

Thanks. See what lack of sleep can do to you?
I assume everybody does it sometimes.
You're apprehensive about having 5-6 hours of sleep? What's your major, fapology? Seriously though cramming is best done in the morning if it has to be done, it's an ineffective way to study and you lose information as time goes on, thus why you should wake up earlier than normal to cram. This is just my personal experience btw, it might not work for you.
No. If you don't know it by now, cramming won't help. Go to bed normally.

I've been at it all day. Still don't have the material down though.
It'll work on your brain while you sleep. It's in there, you just need to let it settle. Get some good rest, wake up maybe an hour or two early and study a little bit more.
I think you might be right!
