Re: The Long Haul
All nighter right here. Didn't get my sleep schedule fixed in time for the new semester, and knowing there was a good chance I wouldn't get up by 7 AM after spending two hours just laying in bed, I decided to heck with sleep for tonight and get myself back on schedule over the next few days as I recoup my losses.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Re: The Long Haul
I never mind all nighters whilst its still nighttime, im can keep going fine until i get to the afternoon. the afternoon is the killer period during all nighters!
Ironically if i make it to the next night i find thats when i get my second wind (or more like third or fourth) and can actually stay up through the night again relatively easily....
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
Re: The Long Haul
My most extreme experience was during my master's degree...
I had an exam Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday and I think I slept about 8-9 hours in total from Sunday to Wednesday night.
On the good side, during the exam on Wednesday my total and complete exhaustion gave me a 'I dont care about this, I just wanna write as fast as I can and go to sleep' attitude so I was 100% anxiety free and did quite well actually...
On the downside, when I returned home at a semi-delirious state, being really really eager to just sleep....well, I couldn't sleep! It took me hours to fall asleep...

Re: The Long Haul
I don't need or get much sleep so all nighters are fine for me, but I don't really get alot of them.
The only ones that I really do all nighters are when I have LAN parties with friends over the weekend. The longest, I think, was maybe ~30 hours long starting at like 3 in the afternoon.
The wierd thing is that during those LAN parties, I must be on adrenaline or something like that b/c I don't get tired at all. Furthermore, I'm not hungry either, but get extremely thirsty. On the way back home, though, I get extremely tired and then basically get asleep instantly at home
