Nightingale syndrome

The Florence Nightingale effect is a situation where a caregiver develops romantic feelings for their patient. Many often misunderstand the term to mean the opposite; that is, a patient falling in love with the caregiver as a result of interpreting an amiable bedside manner as affection.
See Florence_Nightingale_effect on Wikipedia, often confused with Nightingale syndrome (which is something else entirely).

Instead of pulling an all nighter, it is when you sleep early (11pm sharp) and then wake up at 5 am (or before the sun rises) in order to study for shit that don't matter
Bonard: Hey Bro, instead of pulling an all nighter after PK...I might pull a reverse all nighter
Tarun: What is that?
Bonard: It's when you sleep at 11pm sharp and then wake up at 5 am (or before the sun rises) to study for this stuff that I'm gonna forget 5 minutes after the exam is done
