Ok y'all
I just pulled an allnighter, and I gotta say,
Other than the blurred senses, I feel alright
Anybody got any good allnighter stories
mines pretty boring
Waited till the last mininte to do an experrimental report and it was too early when i finished so I just didn't go to sleep.
Anyone else?

I did an all nighter on a ad campaign for my former employer years ago and came home .. feeling fine.. later that afternoon (still no sleep) helping my brother with his car.. I had my right ring finger (first joint up) severed in the engine belt system.

Needless to say.. I should have went to bed early.

I was doing a personal Bible study and didn't realize that it was 5am when I decided I was tired and wanted to go to bed. does that count? I have never done that for college.

We pulled all-nighters in college but looking back they were hardly ever helpful. We'd gather at Perkins and for me it was more about socializing than anything.

I still have the "luxury" of doing these from time to time because of my job. Multiple cans of RockStar seem to help. The hardest time of night for me seems to be between 3:00am and 4:40am. If I can make it past that, I can usually keep going until bed time the next day.

The only all nighters that I recall were either LAN Parties (a bunch of us geeks with our computers hooked together to play video games) or when I worked for the local Sheriff's Dept, work a midnight shift and be off for a couple of days so I'd stay up until sometime late that night.

Spent an all nighter in the Emergency room at the hospital with a dieing mother in law.
Spent another one traveling to the G.A.

Does it count being up and down with sick children during the night? :shock: :lol:

They'll eventually tell you the breathing could cause to cancer, because if you don't have cancer and you're not breathing you won't get it....

They just try to find so many reasons to say things are bad for you. That's like salt, I saw something on tv the other day saying there was no evidence that it effects the blood pressure in people how do not have high blood pressure and that a little bit of salt helps the body to absorb one of the vitamins. Then I hear yesterday or day before that some group is petitioning the FDA to have salt taken off the list of "safe" additives or something.
