Ways to stay awake
bainidhe_dub:
Ok I must admit. I don't understand the benefit of something like the internet or a tv show for an all-nighter. If you're staying up all night, have decided that you NEED to, then doesn't it mean you have something you need to DO? Maybe I'm just utterly too responsible, but I only stay up until all hours doing nothing (aka the internet) if I know I don't have to get up in the morning. I only pulled all nighters for school, at the point where all the motivation I need is OH SHIT THIS PAPER IS DUE AT 10AM OR I FAIL. At which point, all I can do is stare at my computer and try churn out any bullshit so long as it sounds vaguely related to my subject and might be hammered into something slightly logical after my next 15-minute catnap. Anything that doesn't aid me to that end can't be justified, except occasionally updating FB with my progress, which isn't really justified, but I have bad self-control sometimes.
Anyway I think what I'm saying is, if you stay up all night watching 30 Rock, that's not really an all-nighter. You just didn't go to bed, you could have, but you didn't.

i think what the original poster was asking about was not how to pull an all-nighter, but rather how to stay awake the day following one so as to not fall asleep during the day and mess up your circadian rhythm

Get a job in a bar to utterly destroy this phenomenon.

no way, working 2.5 part time jobs which are nowhere near each other is bad enough
