Poll: All Nighters, and reasons for "pulling" them.

[Resistance205]

I have done about...6 all nighters I belive. Mostly because I just couldn't sleep, or I was bored. My main reason for doing it, is to talk to people though. If I get into a really good convo with someone, or a group of people, we may just decided "Ah sure, it's already 3 in the morning, we may aswell go all night at this stage! What would the harm be!"

I think I'll pull one tonight. Started WoW again, and leveling a new character. I can't be arsed to think during leveling the first 30 levels, so doing it during the night will be perfect.

My sleep cycle is just generally fucked After my exams are finished I'm switching to polyphasic cycle.
The last all-nighter I pulled was because me and and guy were playing GH:Metallica. We finished at dawn and he had to sleep because he had tattoo work later in the day, but I just didn't feel like going to sleep at dawn so I stayed up.

Pull alot of nighters, during uni it was common for me to be up 3, 4 days straight...now I pull a 24+ atleast once a week, and thats usually do to work and children

 

[Trivun]

I've never actually pulled an all-nighter, though I've come close sometimes. My bodyclock is really out of synch right now because I've been staying up to cram, but this won't work now since my final exam is at 9:00am on Thursday so I'll need to have an early night for that.

Ah the crack of dawn, cutting through a curtain to pierce the blood-shot eyeballs of a strategy gamer. I know its sharp kiss well.

Guilt, so much guilt.

 

[timmytom1]

I kind of mix 2 of them together ,sometimes i`ve had so much caffeine that i can`t sleep ,so go into epic gaming seshes

Gaming, anime marathons, friends online in other parts of the world, and fanfic are the things that have kept me awake all night.

Also, in the past, massive amounts of alcohol.

 

[headshotcatcher]

Have done it like 3 times, for studying. My friends aren't hardcore enough to stay up all night gaming (not even at lan-parties)

 

[Nemo from Utopia]

done that many times and some of those times have been for similar reasons to yourself.
my longest one was before my dissertation was due in when i didn't sleep for something like 76 hours, fueled by cigs and caffeen and the fear of not finishing in time. after it was handed in i still didnt go to bed till gone midnight having been out drinking to celebrate. got a good grade for it though

 

[Gitsnik]

I suppose it could have been written off as "Too Wired to Sleep" but I felt that "Other" was more appropriate - I once did 4 days straight sitting on top of a scaffold just waiting. This was before I got a wireless card that could do packet injection, so I had to wait that long to get what I needed.

I used to do, until relatively recently, 6 days straight then crash hard on a Saturday night - purely insomnia reasons. Which sucks.

Good time to watch every single episode of every single show I've ever enjoyed though. Means I've seen a lot of movies.

 

[ShameSpear]

Man, I wish you had an "all of the above" because I've had one for every single one of those reasons and more.

 

[KiKiweaky]

Yep I confess I also have a gaming problem (^^,) and regularly pull all nighters =D

 

[LoopyDood]

For me, it's usually when I'm hanging out with friends, just to say that we did. We always end up playing video games anyway.

 

[j1-2themax]

The closest I think I ever have come and ever will come was staying up until 3 AM, which I have done on a couple of occasions, most recently graduation night.

 

[manicfoot]

Insomnia is the only reason for me. Not sleeping truly sucks after 6 years :S

 

[Sronpop]

I am mostly just too wired to go to bed, laptop/xbox + the light still on = not knowning its 6am. I usually dont game all night, its usually gaming till about 2 in the morning then internet for the rest. Went out drinking with a mate, got home drunk as hell at 5am, he went to bed, I logged online, because the internet drunk is awesome. Managed to stay online for another 10 hours or so untill he woke up. Then I just continued my day like I normally would.

Have never stayed up all night to work on college work etc. I get to about 1am then realise if I went to bed now, I will be able to come with a much better explanation in the morning.

 

[Disaster Button]

Mine would probably be to fix a broken sleep cycle, cos you can keep yourself by all manner of things: gaming, partying, studying, fighting to keep yourself away, and being cranky and overly sarcastic for no reason, and giggling like a five year old when you're on a sleep high, which are freaking awesome by the way.

 

[Ryuu Akamatsu]

Threesomes. Hell yeah.

That is if I could get one. Hell, even just one on one would be nice. ;-;
