Could you still pull all-nighters?
- Thread starter entremet
- Start date
Used to pull it when I was younger and playing video games through the night. Then in the military you'll arbitrarily have to go without sleep for over 24 hours. During that I started talking to the walls...now if I try it I feel that sense of doom like I am actually going to die.
Its actually a big issue in the U.S. Army since they sometimes expect people to do their usual shit during the day after that, let alone drive home. Poor guy recently ran over a bunch of trainees and went to jail after pulling that kind of shift. They don't realize its as bad or worse than being drunk behind the wheel.

Yeah, I pull all-nighters out of my ass whenever I have a reason to stay up 24 hours without sleeping.
Work from 12:30pm-9:00pm M-F and typically go to sleep arounf 5 or 6am. Occasionally I won't be able to fall asleep and will just end up staying up till work the next day. It always sucks. I only ever get around 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night.
43 and I actively want to avoid them but some projects I outsource and the time differences to some countries and projects on the go demand it sometimes. Clients during the day, developers at night and me stuck in the middle. It's not fun but doable, the next day is a day off or quarter/half day to catch up. The life of your own company but I have the flexibility to make schedule changes when/where ever I choose.
It helps I naturally only sleep 5-6 hours a night anyway.

43. Can still do them if I find a reason to and something that will keep me busy during that time.
Yup, and I do, both partying and for whatever purpose. It's really not that hard, you just have to want to do it.
30 years old it and it still happens regularly when I got a lot of work. A 24-hour "run" will happen at least once a month. I'll be doing 30-40 hour run every few months. It's definitely getting harder though. In my teens I was able to pull off something like 90-100 hours.
Edit: If all nighters mean staying up all night and then sleeping during the morning, then I do this almost every day.

I still manage to power through Extra Life annually in my 30s with little more than a red bull or two, so yeah. I can handle it.
shut the FUCK UP AND LET ME SLEEEEEEEPPPPPPP
...no my college days are behind me and I'd hate to pull an all nighter now. D:

All night drinking, or working? I sometimes pull all nighters when I go drinking downtown. Don't like to do them anymore, but I can still do it.
What are we defining as an all-nighter? Staying up 24 hours straight? I probably stay up 22+ hours at least once a week. That's nothing even in my 30s. Doing 48 hours on 3-4 hours of sleep is still doable even if it sucks. Changing sleep cycles multiple times in a week is way worse than just staying up a long time straight because I will get times when my body will sometimes straight up refuse to sleep even when I cut out a good block of time to do it.
I work nights, so technically speaking all the time.
I would rather not be awake more than 18 hrs at a time if I had to choose, but I can pull of like 35-ish with no sleep (not that I've been in any situation lately that warrents it though).

Now that im older nope. I'd die if I tried to pull an all nighter. Even when I was younger I had trouble doing it
I have too many crucial roles in life I have to show up for. Somedays I miss it. But not paying for it for two days.
I can but don't feel the need to. Like occasionally we go out and will stay up until 5, 6 at someone's house after a night out just continuing to get fucked up but all it does is fuck up the next day which is usually a weekend day. I'd rather be up at 11 on a Saturday or Sunday to do stuff early (I.e. start drinking) than go to sleep when the sun is up and not be able to make it up until like 1 or whatever.
I try not to go over much longer than 24 hours anymore. Once did well over 48, with much hangover, then decided to do 2 small shrooms on NYE thinking I could handle it... Nah, ended up having a 10 second seizure right when the shrooms started to hit. My brain literally restarted like a PC, body convulsed - lol scared my tripping friends sober and lesson learned. I felt amazing afterward tho, so I guess my body handled that the best way it could.
Point of the story is, get your sleep. Your body needs it.

Fuck no. I'm 37 and one night in Feb. I got home at 3am and felt like shit for two days straight so I can't imagine what an all nighter would do to me at my age.
