I can never survive an 'All Nighter' on my own . When I crash at friends houses I can for some reason. Tell Us How Do You Survive An All Nighter?

CoD MW2, Mountain Dew, and a few war movies (Saving Private Ryan, etc.)

At least for me

I had to do this many times to make a deadline.

5 hour energy doesnt really last for 5 hours, so take 2. also take diet pills which contain caffeine, you'll last for the entire night.

warning: you will crash horribly around 3-4 pM the next day. possibly at 11 if you do this too often. if you do this for 2 days in a row, your body will just shut down randomly after 48 hours if you continue to ingest diet pills.

The easiest way for me to pull an all nighter is to have some caffeine (usually mountain dew) and find something to do that distracts my subconscious from noticing how tired I am. I suspect that has something to do with why you can stay up all night with friends, but not alone.

The longest all nighter I've ever pulled was exactly 60 hours (I know because just when I knew it was safe to sleep I checked my watch and made a quick calculation, for posterity).

Long story short, in Berlin for a stag do, went clubbing, came back to apartment, made a lot of noise, got kicked out of apartment by landlord, found another hotel but couldn't check in until the 60 hour mark due to fullness, though '*** it' we can't wait around let's make the most of it, hit the town did sightseeing, went clubbing again, did some more sighseeing and then more clubbing, and then FINALLY a day of rest.

So my top tips.

1) Make sure you're in an awesome city.

2) Be ridiculously up for going out all the time.

3) Be on a stag trip.

If you can't fulfill the above criteria I suggest plenty of red bull, films or possibly a boxset of a great tv series you've never watched before.

Aye, you'll need the caffeine to sustain you. Unless you're awesome at staying awake, which is definitely not. Also, you'll need something to constantly occupy you, something significant/important enough to keep you awake. Television marathon can work.

I usually pull all nighters alone, in front of a monitor. Aside from that, I haven't really found myself needing to say up all night.

Pulling an all-nighter takes preparation. You have to take at least a week to train yourself to stay up hours after your internal clock says, "that's enough, time to go to sleep slave". I can go a normal 12 hours before my eyes naturally get heavy and blurry, telling me that I need to go to sleep. So what you need to keep doing is stay up longer than that normal 12 hours. 13, 14, 15, 16, etc. So, when you have trained enough, plan a party of any sort that interests you the most. Drink some caffeine, eat some carrots, listen to rigorous music. Don't get the drinks that have so much sugar that it crashes you. This will produce opposite effects and your friends will promptly draw penises on your face.

I went 21 hours once... But my dad made me go to bed after he woke up seeing me eating cereal, at 7:30 in the morning.

I just play video games the whole night, watch TV, I never have any caffine or anything.

I can last all night by watching a REALLY scary movie (silent hill works) :P and then I chug a couple root beers. You're good to go! I always do this with friends so I can play pranks on them haha

Tch, I pull all nighters every night.

I'm nocturnal.
You usually can't understand me during the day, though...

lol @ DDX for completely destroying 201s' post


I'm a very nocturnal person so if I have something to do, I'll be awake all night, pulling several in a row, is not something I can do however, atleast not until I live by my self.
