    Default Staying up all night right before New Year's Eve = dumb?

    Swedish time: 1:03 AM

    Yeah, so it's full action at home right now: me and my little brother play multiplayer in Perfect Dark forever (with very high Surround sound, of course), the parents are visiting some acquaintances, and we simply haven't even considered going to bed.
    I don't feel tired AT ALL (seriously, not even taking a nap in my bed is that tempting; I've tried) and going to bed would just feel weird right now.

    The problem is, tomorrow it's New Year's Eve, and I dunno if I will stand two all-nighters in a row; so, how would you do in my situation?

    I would probably go play video games or have sex (the usual), but then again, I am used to staying awake for 36 hours in a row, so perhaps what I say is moot.

    If you aren't tired, do something. Once you get tired, take a nap. Simple as that.

    Counting in the New Year is boring. At least if I am tired enough I will be able to sleep through it all, and somebody else will do it for me.

    Staying awake for 24 hours is all right.
    36 hours is where it begins to get difficult.
    48 hours, depends on how much adrenaline's in your bloodstream.
    60 hours... put down the coffee...
    72 hours you're beyond coffee. And all kinds of psychiatric help.

    I usually have trouble staying up all night, so I usually go straight to bed a bit after 12, but it's still fun. xD My family eats lots of yummy snacks, like mozerrella sticks and garlic bread, and we watch a lot of movies.

    I heard some rumour about a guy who stayed awake for 16 days, and then he took a ride in the car!
    What the HELL is that?!

    I guess so, but he seemed very serious: he started going on about what an LSD-experience he had, and that everything went woozy.
    No really?

    You could stay up all tonight, an then sleep during the day tommorow if you think you can't handle two late nights in a row without a considerable amount of sleep.
