Hey, I just came here to say that, binaural beats help and are effective for stuff like staying awake, concentrating and sleeping, but they wont work if you're overworked, burnt out or severly sleep deprived. Your body is not a machine, or a clock so if you've been awake for 2 days in a row and this vid doesnt work for you this might be your body telling  you it's time to rest, wether you finished that philosophy paper or not. 

I'm saying this out of experience, you might be able to stay awake for 48 h straight, but thats as far you can go, your body will not focus the same for the rest of the week. Believe me. I know those papers and specially the finals are really important, but your health is way more important than that grade. 

If you *_absolutely_* have to stay awake, here are some tips from a college student:

1. try to time it (an all nighter) well in your schedule, dont do more than 2 in the same week

2. drink plenty of water (calculate how much water you need by weight)

3. avoid energy drinks, a healthy breakfast and some coffee or tea will be enough, you'll need the healthy energy. 

4. when you dont sleep, your organs dont either and have no time to rest, plus your brain doesn't "save" the information you're trying to learn so you're essentially doing a disservice to yourself. Sleep deprivation can cause loss of memory, heart failure, diabetes, high blood presure, damages your nervous and inmune system, permanent brain damage, etc.

5. during the day you will feel how your lungs struggle a little to breathe, so sit up in a comfortable position where breathing is not difficult. If you start feeling this way, try to get sleep as soon as posible, extreme exhaustion is close by. 

6. sleeping for an hour or two is better than nothing.

7. try not to drive, kinda like driving dunk so, it's not safe for you or the people around you.

Please be safe, sleep soon, good luck with those finals.
Also, sorry if theres typos, weird grammar or spelling, im a languages student so, i've got 4 languages in my mind fighting for dominance, im sorry.

Have an awesome day 🥰
A most excellent post, thank you April! This video is definitely not being used as I originally intended, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your words of experience. I will likely quote much (if not all) of this in a future video.
