<p>Is it possible to suffer a body sore/ache from studying so much?</p>
<p>I had a personal encounter with a situation like that last year. For 3 consecutive nights I stayed up till 2-3 AM studying, then on the third night I stayed up till 4 AM. When I woke up, everything was fine... but then came the middle of 1st period and I suddenly felt "sick." Then as the day progressed, my bones started to ache terribly - it hurt so much to just move... I could hardly walk... and I couldn't help but sleep (actually, in the course of 3 classes I actually fainted) My bones just hurt (painful throbbing hurt), and I was tired and sleepy as hell... all that mixed with feeling sick. My eyelids couldn't even open! I was squinting the whole day. It was perhaps one of the most traumatic experiences last year – as though I ‘broke’ my body. </p>
<p>Is this a direct result of studying too much to the point of exhaustion? Or could be some random virus in the air?</p>
<p>Also, is it possible for someones immune system to just shut down?</p>
