FWIW, you need sleep for memorizing as well. Stuff just won't stick if you don't cement it with a good night's rest.
Cramming it all the night just before an exam does work though, I did that myself too, but I think it only worked because I already had a solid foundation. Also that will never work for "insight" type of questions, just rote memorization.
