Get a lot of sleep the night before you do this, however, try going to bed a little later then wake up as late as possible. Don’t go to bed early as you may get tired earlier, for example, if you go to bed at 9:00 PM, you will start to feel tired around that time on the day you are staying up.
If your parents haven’t fallen asleep, hide under the covers of your bed with a mobile device with low brightness. You should make the volume very low so you can hear if they’re walking around. Make sure to have a plan to hide your electronics in case your parents get out of bed.
Keep one earbud or cover of your headphones out of your ear so you can hear what’s going on around you. If you are using a phone or gadget, make sure you have a cover on it, so if one of your parents come in, you can fold the cover over to block the light emanating from the device. You could also put it under your duvet to hide it.
Hide snacks such as granola bars in a hidden place such as your dresser, under your pillow, or in your closet. Don’t keep them open for many hours as it may attract ants. Fake sleep when you hear someone coming or creaking noises.
Drink tea, coffee, or anything with caffeine in before bedtime. This will keep you awake.
