have you ever stayed up all night? Why? What time did you start hitting the wall and start fallign asleep? Did you drink a lot of caffeine/red bull or take pep pills/crystal meth?

I've stayed up all night many, many times, but often I end up falling asleep in the afternoon of the next day, so it kind of lessens the blow while still messing up my sleep patterns :p.

For me, the worst time for falling asleep is about 4:30-5:30. Once I get past 5:30, I start getting kind of giddy and I perk up again, and so I can stay up until noon or so, or all day if I have to...

And no, I've never really taken anything to keep me awake, I just tend to stay up late all the time, so I'm used to it (it's 3:45am right now, in fact :p)

Staying up all night is fun a lot of the time, but it's offset a bit by the next day being kind of a writeoff because either I'm sleeping or just pretty out of it.

I'm always up all night. Up nights, sleep days. I don't even wake up until around 6:00PM CST.

When I used to work early in the mornings sometimes I didn't go to sleep before work so I didn't get to sleep until about 8 in the morning. Other than that the only times I stay up until later in the morning is when I come home from a party at around 3 and then come on here for a couple of hours. :smash:

Yeah quite a few times, usually for work, like having to have to get a character design submitted to the boss for review, but not have time to sleep.

longest time been awake without sleep for me is 4days, no coffee or caffeine related products, or the like.

once it gets past 4am, im fine :)

I've been randomly up 24 hours, but not lately. When in army during some camps, we sometimes spent a week with <i>some</i> sleep everynight ( like 1 - 4 hours), but kept going on like that all week and it sucked. It was usually worse when some people were "sick", hence they couldn't make it to camp and there was less of us to keep fire and guard in our tent ( there always had to be someone keeping the fire up in tent and one guarding the area somewhere out :.:\

I do it whenever I don't feel tired at 'bed time', and I just happen to find lots and lots of people actually willing to chat with me.

Nowadays I sleep at 9pm and wake up before the school kids do. *nod*

I stay up all night at least once a week. I prefer night hours.

I remember staying up for nearly a solid week and all I can recommend is don't do it, its like being drunk but with none of the fun of getting there.

I've done a couple of all-nighters. One was to meet a deadline the next day and the other was a night-time excursion in a boat with a load of friends.

Yeah, I do it rather often, but I still wake up at a reasonable time.

Geez, what a coinkeedeenkee. Before last night, I had not slept since Tuesday night. I woke up at 6:15 AM on Wednesday, and stayed up until 11:30 on Friday. I was quite tired. I'm not quite sure HOW I did it, because I didn't have an overabundance of sugar or caffeine. I guess it was just pure willpower. :)

The only time it ever seems to happen where the hours pass like nothing is at specifically one of my friend's houses. I've tried it many times by myself but can never get myself to do it at home, due to my body getting abnormally tired all the time.

Yes I played FF7 for 20 hours one day. I just drank a lot of soda and had lots of food at hand. It didn't seem like it was 20 hours but it was. I just fell asleep when I was bored of playing.

From 7:30 AM on a Friday til 12:00 on the Saturday, 18 hours of that was playing Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles with friends, with only small breaks to talk about random stuff and smoke weed.

Good times.

I didn't actually feel tired the next day, just everything seemed really bright and I felt very hyperactive, I even had breakfast when I got home, then I just collapsed into bed and missed a whole load of text messages from people about important stuff.

I can't stay up that long. I did it once about 2 weeks ago. All I wanted to do that night was sleep, but I couldn't. Still not sure why. I usually go to bed at 9:00PM and fall asleep at about 11:00PM.

I thought it was normal to do it like every other night like me...err guess not.

Ah well I'll probably be dead at about age 30...according to the news I should be dead even earlier though now cause I wirte and read poetry. And tomorrow it will be sooner because I spend too much time on the internet.

I stayed up until 9 AM this past Thursday night/Friday morning. I really hit the wall at about 8, a little over 24 hours after being awake.

I stayed up for almoost a week straight last summer. My insomnia was so bad that I thought that suicide would help. I kept seening colours I never seen before. However during that time I went to a new years eve party and passed out on the couch and woke up in my own house, in my bed. I didn't even have liquor that night.

I've stayed up all night before, several times. I remember not getting hardly ant sleep last Nov. 7th of the last two years. I remember not sleeping at all on May 24th of 2002. I actually made it not sleeping for about 40 hours.

Get drunk to the point that your stomach feels like it is collapsing upon itself. That always used to work for me.
