A member asked:

I only slept between 2am and 5am due to insomnia, i have classes in the afternoon. will i be able to survive? i also have nurofen in case i need.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You will survive.: But you won't function optimally. You may need a nap or a stimulant such as ceffeine to help you stay awake. Alternately you could choodse to miss class although that may not be wise.
