All we ask is that you: 1) Stick to a small area, one table, and don't sprall over multiple tables with your stuff; 2) if you are reading any of the store's books, that you return them to the shelf or the big black cart at customer service.	+ *["Users/AlexTelander"]: I currently work at Borders and this was an old policy with the last General Manager.

Those who pulled an all-nighter, did worse on tests because they did not have the period of sleep in between. You need to have a minimum amount of sleep to solidify those memories.

This was my daily routine for three solid weeks. I would only leave for lunch and none of the staff ever said anything to me. And even now when I go get my coffee, I see people studying.
