<p>Has anyone here ever does this? If so how I and what did you feel like the next day? I might have to do that starting soon (its 11:20pm where I live).</p>
<p>ANY TIPS WILL HELP THANKS!!!</p>
<p>It’s not worth it bro. Go play CoD.</p>
<p>Not all night but close to all night. I knew I had to finish it even if I don’t sleep…and when it’s that late…you naturally stop procrasitinating.</p>
<p>I always feel terrible the next day. -sleeps in class-</p>
<p>I’m actually doing this right now. I have a big assignment due Monday and I’m not going to bed until I finish (probably around 5) so that I can have the rest of my weekend stress free. When I pull this off on a school night, I’m just sort of dazed the whole day. I have no idea what my teachers talked about, but it’s alright since I wouldn’t listen anyways. </p>
<p>When I need to stay up I usually eat, listen to music, or do puzzles. Bright lights and dipping your face in cold water also help.</p>
<p>I’ve had to stay up until around 3am, but never an all nighter. It wouldn’t have been necessary had I been more organised -__-</p>
<p>You’ll either feel like **** the next day; or you’ll feel incredibly hyper-aware for a few hours, then crash and burn. The crash is nasty, by the way, and I suggest you to avoid it during school hours by carrying around coffee or some other caffeinated beverage and rationing it out carefully so that you actually have enough energy to make it through the day. Once you get home, take a long, long nap. Your sleep schedule will be screwed up for a few days, but you can right it once you hit the weekend.</p>
<p>Also, all-nighters on Friday/Saturday > all-nighters on any other day in the rest of the week. This seems like common sense, but it’s amazing how many people just don’t seem to actually process this logic.</p>
<p>The effects of an all-nighter can depend, but the most common situation is:</p>
<p>When you first start your all-nighter, you start to get a bit tired. At around 1 am, until perhaps 4 or 5 pm, you start to feel like you’re energized/no longer tired. After that, you start to get pretty tired, but if you try to go to sleep, you’ll find that you can’t, for some reason. At school, you won’t feel too tired because your adrenaline is starting to kick in, which is basically what is keeping you awake. Towards the later part of the school day, or perhaps during a boring class, it all hits you like a tidal wave. You get absolutely tired or start to hallucinate. Especially if you’re taking notes. Lol…read your notes the next day and you’ll wonder, “WTH was I doing?” And then when you get home, you feel relieved but not too tired. Should you go to sleep, you’ll be out for quite a while before feeling horrible when waking up. </p>
<p>Tips for all-nighters:</p>
<p>1) Don’t procrastinate DURING an all-nighter! This also means feeling discouraged to do whatever you need to do.</p>
<p>2) Try to always be eating/nibbling on something. Helps stay awake.</p>
<p>3) If you get the opportunity to (You’re doing math hw or whatever rather than research/reading a book), blast some fast/hardcore/exciting music that gets you pumped up.</p>
<p>4) Try not to use coffee/soda/energy drinks. They have a horrible effect later on, and plus I find that they don’t really work. Perhaps placebo?</p>
<p>I did this last night. Didn’t get to bed until 3 am finishing up a physics lab report. When I got to school in the morning, I was just out. Especially since we were discussing sleep in AP Psych, and it just made me ridiculously tired. I didn’t sleep, but I kept dozing off and just like the guy above me said, my notes were chickenscratch.</p>
<p>The rest of the day got better though, since I had my off hours right after first hour, although I definitely wasn’t myself. I’m pretty sure all my talking was somewhat incoherent and I definitely didn’t talk as much as I usually did. Then when I got home I just passed out on the couch for about 4-5 hours, and now I feel completely awake at 12 in the morning…</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I wrecked my body’s sleep schedule. Although it wasn’t good before since I normally go to bed at about 1 AM and I usually take a 2-3 hr nap in the afternoon.</p>

<p>Sounds like my typical day. haha</p>
<p>I hate that period of time when you’re just barely staying awake in class, and you’re taking notes and your writing isn’t even legible and some of it’s like some subconscious stuff</p>
<p>
This is gospel.
Having gotten an average of three hours of sleep per night every night this week, I have a lot of experience lol. I typically am like super hyper during the day and then comes the crash. But one day I was like so tired it hurt to keep my eyes open. That was bad. Then I got Starbucks and I was hyper again.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This explains my experiences to a T, haha. Whoo all-nighters! Not.</p>
<p>Are you me? Story of my life.</p>
<p>The other posters described it pretty well, with the phases and morning effects. Whatever you do, do not give in to the desire to nap during your night; you’ll have a ridiculously hard time getting up later. The fatigue tends to hit me hardest near midday when I’m hungry and I’ve already sat through a couple periods of lectures. </p>
<p>Even if you feel capable of staying awake the morning after, I suggest bringing a cup of coffee or some other drink that will keep you awake and somewhat alert. But don’t get into the habit of all-nighters, even if you reward yourself with long naps after the schoolday. Trust me, your sleep deprivation will catch up to you.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, I seem to be more awake during the school day on the nights that I get under 3 hours of sleep. For example, I fall asleep in AP Calculus pretty much everyday, but after nights where I barely get any sleep, I actually manage to stay awake in Calc and the rest of my classes as well.</p>
<p>It is not worth it. Whenever I pull all-nighters, I feel like absolute crap the next day.</p>
<p>Staying up later helps until 12 am. Once I pass that time, the later I say up, the worse I do on the test.</p>
<p>^ I hadn’t realized that 11:30 pm was late. lol</p>
<p>Haha I don’t get to bed until 1:00 on a good night. Getting 6+ hrs of sleep must be nice.</p>
<p>Thursday night/early Friday morning I worked on a ten page paper assigned to our English class in August (yeah, I know… >_>). I started at 11pm, every hour I took a sip of a five hour energy extra strength. I went to bed at 5am, slept for 3 hours, got up at 8:30 and finished by the time I left for school at 9:40 (I don’t have a first period). Surprisingly, I wasn’t even the slightest bit tired yesterday, and nobody thought I looked tired, so maybe somehow the five hour energy counteracted my need for sleep. I felt more tired the day I went to school after the Deathly Hallows premiere.</p>
<p>Adderall makes it possible, Modafinil makes it possible without screwing over your next day.</p>
