I was the king of all nighters when you could still buy mini thins at every gas station and drug store in town (I is old). I'd crash for a complete day after pulling one. If I was writing papers, I'd generally get C's on papers that would have been easy to get A's on. If I was studying for a test, what should have been A's were B's or C's.
Treat school like a job: between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, if you're not in class, be somewhere doing classwork or studying (i.e. library) with your phone shut off. You'll be happier and healthier, make better grades, and have very little, if any, course work to do on weekends. Unfortunately, it took me until post-grad to figure this out. When I did figure it out, my grades reflected it.

Thanks for the advice man.
Will try, there are just a lot of distractions nowadays. I have never been good at studying.

This is very good advice. Too bad I didn't figure it out until my last year. But that ended up being my best year with one of my tougher loads.

Disregard this entire post. If you want to make excellent grades, then read it. If not, you are only in college once, take advantage of it. Most important thing is get that sheet of paper but also have fun.
