Well it is really getting harder to do this at all anymore. Just a few years ago it was an easy task. What am I talking about? Doing an all nighter. Staying up all night and continuing through the next day. I can recall as little as 3 or so years ago I could stay up all night long then through the next day doing all my daily chores with no problems. But thias New Years Day proved to be the ice breaker. My wife & I went to the Casino for a Buffet and sone gambling. I got home at about 5 a.m. was up by 8. Then after driving her to work I wanted to take a short nap. Well that was an 8 hour nap. HAHAHA. I think it's due to me being sick with a bad cold but also I think my age is catching up with me. Finally. HAHAHA! So do you pull all nighters? If not when was the last time you did?

I will be an all nighter in the next two weeks because the final exam weeks are coming!So many books I have to read and so many homeworks I have not finished!
I know being an all nighter is not good for health but aftering a whole night learning,I believe I can remeber more.In order to get a high mark in the exams,I'm always an all nighter.

I have to have my sleep LOL. I haven't pulled an all nighter in a long time. I guess dealing with kids all day I get tired and have to get my sleep or I get mean LOL. We did go to a New Years party and we didn't get home until after 1am but I went right to bed and slept until 11. My husband doesn't require a lot of sleep though so he got up with our son when he woke up.

When I was raising my kids I slept a lot. But that was mainly sleeping off a hefty drunk I think. HAHAHA! Haven't drank in almost 17 years so sleep is no problem since. HAHAHAHA!! I get mean when woke up. HAHAHA!!

The last time that I pulled a all-nighter was when I worked a 2nd shift and then pulled a third shift. I didn't carry it until that night before I went to sleep, I was asleep by 11 AM.
I did stay up until about 3am New Years Day and then was up by about 10.
Hope you are feeling better today!

I usually go to bed at about 3 a.m. Then I wake up about 8 or so. 5 hours sleep is more than enough for me nightly. Feeling a bit better. I've been on here a long time and still feel good. Hee hee hee!!

Gone are those days where I use to pull allnighters. Not anymore. I think the last time I did was about 5 years ago and I'm glad I don't do that anymore. Nowadays I can't even last a couple of hours LOL
Happy New Year Grandpa Bob!

Well G'pa! The life is so fast taking long leaps ahead and making us growing and so on. Nervs are so strong while one is young and sometimes it even does not matter if you have nothing to cover up your body in the cold nights, nothing to keep your body calm in hot days etc. Yes we are the human beings and natural phenomenas cannot be refrained all the times.
I do admit one gets sick and sometimes its good to be so (in order to be special one at your home ;) being cared by dear ones :) ... hehehe) God bless you.

Ahhh grandpa Bob... sorry to hear you're sick! I just got over a bout with the flu and it's no fun, that's for sure. Now to stay up all night and go on with the day the next day... I can't say I've ever done that. I'd have fallen over sometime during the 24 hour period. lol I can say though that I've pulled an all nighter when I was working but once I got the chance to hit the sheets... boy did I! lol

Hi Bob -- Yeah, I'm 63 and still pull all-nighters, especially when I go out gambling. If I still have money, I keep playing :)
And yes, I do make up for my all nighter with a nap during the daytime, which means I don't sleep much the next night.
Even when I'm not out gambling, I'm often up 'til 3 or 4 in the morning. I'm not happy about it because during the daytime when the rest of the world is awake and I just want to fall asleep :)
The longest I have stayed awake recently was 48 hours. I just couldn't sleep. *sigh* So much to do, so little time.

i did last year, i think it was a continuous three days overtime to overnight in the office, i only got to sleep for some three to four hours, then after those three days, i got really sick and i developed a mild anemia and was on sick leave for a week. and i never wanted to do it again. in fact, i wanna resign from the job... if i could find the chance.

I'm the same way - I think it's called 'getting old' but I don't want to say it too loud because then it may really be true. I don't sleep alot these days but oh I do so need those 3-4 hours or I'm useless and end up having to have a 'nap' in the afternoon.

I am a few years younger than you Grandpa Bob but I cannot handle all nighters. I use to work 12 hours night shifts and would have the first day a 24 hour day and then my day off would be a 24 hour day. I did that for 8 years and then I went to day shift and then I went to the sleep lab and went back to nights all over again.
Now that I have a chronic illness I cannot stay up like that I am ill for days afterwards.
Good luck old man

i don't like all nighters. haven't pulled one in a long time haha. basically sleep is very important to me. and i get all the sleep i can get. beauty rest i call it!
especially if I'm sick then sleeping it off is usually the best cure. when you're sleeping your cells repair itself and it's better than any medication.
i am usually the first to feel sleepy when i'm out with my friends, and the first to hog the bed when we have a pyjamas party. not a night owl, me.

I think this is also depend on the healthy of the people.
I don't know why I feel tired early in night and want to go bed earlier.I think this is because my health becomes worse.I feel I have no mood to do anything.

get worse staying up all night long as well.
