These work by virtue of the fact that you cannot sleep while you are puking your guts out.
McTaggart:
Ok, if I'm pulling an allnighter and need to be awake and useful all the next day I do something like:
Get a good nights sleep the night before (ideally)
Eat a good breakfast that day
Eat a good lunch
Go to subway, get something like turkey and ham with every vegie, throw that sucker in the fridge.
Get two or three cans of sugarfree Red Bull, sugar free because you don't need that sugar and it'll only make you want to walk around and not do whatever it is you're pulling an all nighter to do.
Eat a good dinner with plenty of carbohydrates and protein and so on. Something like a tuna and mushroom soup pasta bake is quick to prepare and doesn't need tending to while it's cooking and you also inevitably make too much so you've got a tasty snack waiting for you later on. Have a can of red bull with dinner.
Drink Plenty Of Water
At around midnightish have half your subway and the second can of red bull.
Stay Hydrated
Go for a short walk at maybe 1:30, 2ish.
Make Sure You Keep Your Fluids Up
Eat the rest of your subway, drink the last of your red bull at four or five.
Make Sure You Don't Get Dehydrated
Go for a short walk as the sun comes up.
Go about your day as usual, making sure you eat and drink well.
Since you're not really running or doing anything strenuous it's really easy to get dehydrated and not notice. Drink Plenty Of Water! If you don't need it you can just piss it back out.

Fucking!

Forward planning. Prevention is better than cure!
