Pulling regular all-nighters can lead to sleep deprivation, which can have negative effects on mood, cognitive functioning, and academic performance. It is unlikely that Courtney is someone who does not need much sleep since the average adult requires 7-9 hours of sleep per night. It is also unlikely that she has a high GPA if she is sacrificing sleep regularly. There is no information provided to suggest that she has maintained this sleep pattern since childhood.
