Sleep deprivation

[Jessica]

The [International Baccalaureate] [Diploma] Program (The [IB])

[Vania]

A long standing tradition of the International Baccalaureate (IB) where students are restricted from sleeping due to the [ProCAStination] and assignments due with acronyms, like ToK, [IOP], [IOC], IA, EE, [DCP], CE, etc. Each student must re-enact this ceremony, which requires them to neglect their sleep continuously in order to be able to pass the IB.
Symptoms include (varies with person): Mental Breakdowns, Coffee Overdose, Migraines, Plagiarism, Regret over IB, among many others.
Also, students who state that they had 4 hours of solid sleep are to be considered gifted, and those who receive up to 8 hours are considered God-Blessed. However, those who receive more than 8 hours are either failing the IB, or doesnt give a ****.
Sleep Deprivation also has its benefits for the [IB program], though...
Students gain the ability to BS on anything and at anytime due to the lack of sleep. They become highly analytical and could fit in a weeks amount of homework in one night. These students could be credited for their sophisticated 1-hour essays that require scholars with PhD and years of experience to assemble in about a month.

[Monty]

An unfortunate side effect of the [International Baccalaureate] program. In order to finish the [requisite] amounts of work, sleep is often neglected. This produces symptoms including, but not limited to: red eyes, yawning, falling asleep in class, excessive bragging about how hard you worked, lack of motivation, napping in unorthodox places (hard floors, etc.), and occasionally in a highly intellectual mental state (allowing many in-depth observations and an ability to understand complex concepts). [Sleep deprivation] is also a common tool for bragging, with the more sleep deprived participant being declared the victor.
