How do I halt the seemingly endless spiral of procrastination that's preventing me from studying for my exams?
MTFU and YM are not acceptable as answers.

You can't
You obviously thrive on fear and adrenaline. You might actually become shit at passing exams if you do it the way 'other poeple' do it.
Carry on as you are, but make sure to keep mopping up the sweat.

But I thrive on naps and cans of coke and cheese and onion crisps.
I won't start getting the cold sweats til tomorrow evening when it really kicks in that I'm going to fail spectacularly unless I do some work.

That was spot on
Even on the screen I can tell you knows your onions. There's a market on Great Homer Street, so we all call it Greaty.
One of my friends wondered for years who this "Gracie" was that scousers went to visit on a Saturday morning.

I need the internet as a study aid since a lot of my college notes are online
Also I don't drink tea. It's vile.

I always think that fear does wonders for the brain
I'd leave the studying right until the last minute and scare the information into your brain... that and write in your pencil case lid any notes that you think might help you! :D

You forget it a day after the exam but it was of no real-life use to you anyway.

We aren't allowed to take anything into the exam room. It's all done on new fangled computers nowadays.

I doubt it and I would probably get funny looks from other people in the room if I started spaktarding around trying to reach my scapula in order to get at the muscles inserting upon it
So doing it another time though :)

Unfortunatly it's mostly useful interesting stuff that I need to know, so I could do with remembering a lot of it afterwards

You can always turn away and look in a book
in real life.
But not in an emergency life-or-death situation...

Nope, been there...there's never enough time. I ALWAYS get the receptionist to pass my drink closer though as I don't know how long I'll be standing in the same position and may require refreshment :)
