A survey of 120 students at St. Lawrence University, a small liberal arts college in northern New York, found that students who have never pulled an all-nighter have average GPAs of 3.2, compared to 2.95 for those who have. The study, by assistant professor of psychology Pamela Thacher, is to be included in the January issue of Behavioral Sleep Medicine.

Quote
A second study by Thacher, a clinical psychologist, had "extremely similar" results showing lower grades among the sleep skippers.

I feel that the people that never pulled all nighters never needed to so therefore they would have a higher GPA. Often times the case for me is that I have an exam tomorrow and I need to read 6 more chapters, if I just go to bed and get some sleep then I'll do worse then if I stayed up all night and studied. Of course the best thing to do is to study in advance but that doesn't really help me in certain situations.
