Took Step 1 with no sleep

I took Step1 yesterday and could just NOT sleep the whole night before. I was good during the day but when it got time to go to bed, I guess my body was subconsciously anxious and my heart just kept beating so hard. I took THREE beta blockers (throughout the night) and two melatonin and still couldn’t sleep. It just sucks because the week before Step, I was in bed by 10p and waking up at 6a 😪. I even followed DirtyMeds advice and exercised the day before to tire myself out. But alas, I was still too anxious. So at 5:30am, I was on my laptop looking on how to cancel my appointment and was looking at pushing back my test date to later this weekend but then I’d have to pay like a thousand dollars. Then I found some reddit posts about people in my exact position, and it seems like everyone was saying to just do it cause the adrenaline would get you through it. And a lot were saying their step score was similar to their practice exam and that there’s some study about how if you get two good night sleep before, then if you don’t sleep before the exam, you’ll still be okay. Also, me not sleeping before an exam is unheard of. I would at minimum, normally be able to get a few hours of sleep before but I think just being in a hotel and not having my husband with me really affected my anxiety levels.

So I listened to Reddit, and just decided to do it and yes, my adrenaline did get me through it but now I’m nervous as hell for what my results would be. I was the first to get to the testing center so I started the exam around 7a. First section, I was a bit bleary eyed but by the second sections, I felt somewhat normal. Idk if I could do this with Comlex just because it was soo many questions and less time per question. I liked that Step had more time and less questions so it felt bearable. With Comlex, I at least got 4 hours but I think it's cause I had my husband the night with me before the exam, so him just being with me really calmed me down. But with Step, he wasn't able to come with me. So I learned, I need him there with me lol.

Anyways, made this post because I know I’m not gonna be the only that doesn’t sleep the night before. Really hoping I get the P, and shout out to Celsius (apple-pear flavor) for getting me through the day.

EDIT: PASSED!!!
