I remember when I was in

Submitted by hlee01 on Mon, 04/20/2009 - 10:10pm.

I remember when I was in middle school I had the toughest time pulling an all-nighter whether it was for a sleep over or for an exam I needed to study for. As a college student, I have to pull all-nighters often and I have found them to be less painful/difficult for me to do compared to when I did them when I was younger. I'm guessing that sleep was more vital to my well being when I was younger since my body was developing. 

How did I develop this routine of sleeping less? Will my brain develop more slowly compared to others' who sleep more (brains mature until we're 25)? What's going on in the nervous systems of insomniacs?
