Never on purpose, even a few years back, when I would still stay up untill 4 AM sometimes, I went to sleep at one point. I just can't handle that crap, I need sleep. That's why I recon that, when I'll visit a far away country (sure I do in the near future), I'll be broken for at least 2 days.

I did pull all-nighters on accident though, well not exactly on accident, but against my will. We went on holiday to France a few times, wich is a 10-12 hour drive. We usually left around midnight, so we would arrive at the camping spot around noon the next day. Sure we pulled over sometimes to do a small nap of 30 mins or something, but I just can't sleep in a cramped car with 5 people (1 snoring) while there are lights and noises everywhere. Yeah, I remember those...a great way to start a holiday.

All nighters always occur on the 10-player lan parties my friends and I have at my house, the games we play tend to get really adrenaline pumped and fun so time just flies by and before you know it it's 6am. Sometimes we go to sleep and sometimes we decide to stay up another 14 hours, if we choose to do the latter it usually involves looking like brain-dead zombies and falling asleep in ones chairs.

I often pull all-nighters when at parties, festivals, concerts and such. When home alone, I usually try to keep away from it. It still happens that I do one though.

Like last thursday, I had to get on a plain at 6 AM. Perfect chance to crack open a few redbulls and play Warcraft III into the morning.

All-nighters? Pfft easy. I do remember one with a friend and we sung this song at 4am in the morning:
Another time we were making chocolate biscuits at 2am. OH! And I'll never forget our 17 hours straight of Doctor Who.

The only time I might pull an all-nighter is in New years eve to watch the fireworks and other commotion. Other than that, no, I can't do it. I need my beauty sleep every day.

Oh right, one time I did pull an all-nighter in a LAN party with friends watching movies (I think we watched "The Happening" and found its acting hilarious) and playing games. But that was an exception!

Regularly. Sometimes when I have work to do, but mostly to correct my sleeping pattern - y'know how it slips, before you know it you're going to bed at 9am and waking up at 7pm. I've been known to do it accidentally too, either through inability to sleep or just because I lost track of time and found it's morning and I had to be somewhere.

Plenty of times at university for coursework and dissertation, going out drinking then walking home or just staying in and watching TV or stuff.

I really enjoy being up really early in the morning, there is a special feeling about walking home in lovely sunshine at 5am after you've been out all night.

Not on purpose, I have insomnia. When I am up all night, I tend to read and clean, because both activities are quiet and my husband does not have insomnia.

I haven't had one since I quit WoW. I'd never be able to stay on a proper work-sleep schedule if I still did.

Ahh, I remember that good old "just one more quest" feeling in Oblivion at 1 in the morning, then realising my roommate just went to work at 8. Good times!

I occasionally do it if I want something specific in a game or have some work I'm really trying to get done, but it's 90% complete accident.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am often awake... for very lengthy amounts of time.

I did it the night to yesterday, when I at 5 o'clock in the morning noticed that it was 5 o'clock in the morning. I didn't feel lke going to bed then and I just continued to play instead.

KotOR is damn addictive, I tell you...

A while ago, I played nothing but Halo 3 with three other friends. I didn't feel tired until I saw it was 6:00 AM.
I haven't stayed up all night since. For some reason I get really subdued and depressed if I stay up that late.

I have one at every sleep-over which is ironic since we don't sleep at a sleep-over.

Then, I also do them every time my parents are stupid nice enough to leave me along for the weekend or something.
btw how do u do line scoring thing on word "stupid"?
OT:most Friday nights, usually playing Fallout 3, Oblivion, GTA4, Scarface, LOTR ROTK, GTASA, CoD4 once, and Saints Row 2.
P.S. same about parents, theyre going away for a whole week soon, guess ill need a fuckload of caffeine :)
