I have done this on more than one occassion due to the need to complete assignments or to meet a deadline for sewing some dresses.

It is almost 5:30 am here now and I am not yet in bed. I can hear the birds and the roosters welcoming in the new day. I had no special project but just felt like doing stuff on the computer until I felt like sleeping. Sleep is just now coming so I am off to catch some snooze.

I can only aford this as I am off from work this week.

Have you ever done an all nighter?

What was your reason for staying up all night?

I have done this a lot of times, mostly due to academic reasons.
I usually woke up all night to study, but nowadays, I do the same to use the Happy Hours of my Internet connection and download movies, games, etc.

It's a lovely feeling to wake up all night, as you can really concentrate on your work without any disturbance, and also have a lot of privacy. And then the roosters welcoming the morning (As you said) is another wonderful event when you wake up all night.

Regards,
AJ-Rox

It certainly is the best time to get some work done peacefully.

I am with you. I do the same as you about two or three times a week! And I am 54! My son is quite a bit younger than I am and says he wishes he has the energy I had. I have gone 51 straight, recently. But when I was in my twenty's doin' 60+ straight was nothing. I worked 3 jobs~ restaurant as a waitress, bar as a bartender, delivery as a newspaper thrower. it was hard being a single mom.

I guess your son and I are sailing in the same boat there. I doubt I have all that energy in me as good as I think I am.

Hmm. I can only think of one instance when I did this, and it was the 18th birthday of a friend. It was done in a resort, and there were not too many beds available, so even if I wanted to sleep I really can't. That night, I stayed up until I think 7am the next day cause that was when I went back home. LOL. That night was really memorable, I stayed up with the rest of my friends, who were also not able to save a space in one of the fews beds available. LOL.

All night partying uh happy.

I have never partied all night but I have stayed up until early morning for that purpose. Oh... we used to have some all nighters at church when we'd have socials. This was when we would meet and have games all through the night.

I am 34 now, but back when I was younger I use to. I was a party girl. Loved to hang out with friends all night and drink. Now though that I have matured more and have children of my own that run me so tired I am lucky to make it past 12!
Once I tried to stay up all night to do some extra cleaning and I felt ill. Guess those days are over! Happy Mylotting!


myLot reputation of 96/100. tjades (1414)   ranked 208 out of 19,372 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww..... Come on marlena. You are not old by any means. Afterall I am only two years younger and to think of you as been anywhere past the partying age would mean that I am..... Oh naaah. You aint old at all happy

I can understand with the kids and the enery sapping for sure. The body has gone through a whole new experience. Thanks for sharing and all the best raising your young ones thumbup

I once stayed awake for a whole 3 days playing MapleStory.
That was when i was super addicted to it at that time, and brought 24hours 2EXP card for 3 days.

guess what?
i fell sick after that three days, was down with flu and fever.
LOL!
luckily there isn't any swine flu at that time,
or i would have been quarantine.

Nowadays i don't really stay up for the whole night, maybe stay up till 3am and i'll go to bed. Cannot afford to spoil my pretty face because of lack of sleep x]

Haha, yea, i don't even have enough rest nowadays with all the school work flooding me.


myLot reputation of 96/100. tjades (1414)   ranked 208 out of 19,372 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Studying or not my machine (body) would definately grind to a halt before those three days were near done.

When I go to work at 11 to 7 in the morning, I don't sleep anymore. And I am doing it for more than 2 months already. I just sleep at daytime. Many people do that speciall those who are working at night. This isn't unusual.


myLot reputation of 96/100. tjades (1414)   ranked 208 out of 19,372 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Oh sure its not unusual. People do it all the time for studies, partying and various other reasons so this post was not to say its unusual.

All the best at your job.

I've attempted to when studying for exams, but never have the willpower to. I always succumb to the idea of sleep. Although I do stay up later than I need to, because I take ages packing my bag or doing my homework.


myLot reputation of 96/100. tjades (1414)   ranked 208 out of 19,372 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Its not easy to do especially when you are nt used to it. All the best at your studies taken thumbup

yes, i have done this innumerable number of times in my life so far. during my days of education, i do this on most of the exam days. it was absolutely fantastic as it is very calm and it allows you to concentrate very well. i used to grasp most of my lessons learnt in the night very well. even after the days of education, i have done it several times due to work and other things like functions at home,etc.


myLot reputation of 96/100. tjades (1414)   ranked 208 out of 19,372 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Nights do really bring that added atmosphere conducive to studying or any other activity which requires tranquility.

Every night I do not sleep as I have been working in night shifts for almost 3 years, Even if we have off on weekends I do not get sleep during night time. I just surf on net and will do some work online trying to make some extra cash:) and will go to bed during day time sometimes if we have any party then forget about the sleep entirely.

If I am reading a really good book and I don't have to work the next day I have been known to stay up all night reading. I'll just read until the book is done then have a nap. It leaves kinda brain dead the next day though


myLot reputation of 96/100. tjades (1414)   ranked 208 out of 19,372 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Oh yeah.... I forgot about those night vigils when Im unable to put down a book. It does make you sluggish afterwards for sure (at times).

Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting thumbup
