What should I do?
I have to finnish that damn essay until tommorow 12.00 local time. Now it is here ca. 02.30, but I somehow cannot motivate me to get Word running and write the last page 
Should I
A) Go to bed, wake up early, and then finnish that damn thing!
or
B) No, donīt wait, make it now!
If I canīt decide soon, Iīll never get it done  Please help!!!

I say just do it.
But that's just me.
Apparently, my best writing comes when I just write to get it done. Anytime where I was forced to write something in an alotted time within closed parameters, it came out better than when I was given freedom to do it as I pleased.
So I say, just write the last bit, spell-check it, and sleep soundly.
Eh?

Thing is, I always must have coffee to write, but when I drink coffee now, I cannot sleep later anyway.
Man, what difficult decisions

I say you get someone else to write it. Post the topic, someone will write it for you, you translate it, and you're done

It is about constructivist approaches in international relations.
And the funny thing is that I wrote most of it yesterday, but now I struggle to get the last page. I guess Iīll make some coffee soon and stay awake, I can sleep wednesday all day long

I'd sleep now. If it will take all night and morning, then just get on with it, but if it will take, say, an hour or two, go to bed for a while, and you might wake up with some more motivation and a fresh approach/idea. IMHO there is little point trying to carry on without motivation. Set your alarm to about 8, and then work on it until it's finished, then maybe catch some more sleep, or a coffee. That's what I'd do, but I work differently to most people (as my teachers kept telling me).
PS. Get of 'Poly! First thing to do. Disconnect the internet physically if you have to. You will waste time here. Get off and either work or sleep. Tell us how it goes after you've done it.

I agree with David, you should ask a finnish person to finnish it for you.

Absolutely 
If it isnīt too much work you should sleep for a while even if itīs just 1-2 hours.
Did help me a lot at Homeworks for Programming Courses.
I always started to program the homeworks last minute, but then I kept for hours doing it, slept maybe 1-2 hours and afterwards used the last 5 hours remaining to write (and debug) the last lines of code.
The 1-2 hours of sleep did a lot to gain power for the last hours of work.
