dude it should be no problem

You might even feel more awake

just the rest of the day might be an issue

calm down about it

you should still be able to beat your lifts

good luck

It might not be your best workout ever but you'll be fine for a day.  Just don't make it a habit or you'll wake up on the edge of the freeway to some EMT jaws-of-lifeing you out of your car.

Don't do it.
Take it easy , just do hacks.
If done correctly can be just as taxing buts heaps safer.

Just drink a lot of coffee (more than you usually do, if you drink coffee).  You should be fine for that hour, hour and a half with a bunch of coffee.  You might not even notice the lack of sleep.  Though the rest of the day might be tough (as mentioned above); but you should be able to drag yourself through that.
