I'm taking Trazadone at night to help me fall asleep it really helps.


All it did for me was make me feel realy drunk but still no sleep. I mean I could hardly walk to the bathroom half hour after I took it :(

Twice just for fun with friends and once doing homework.

Sugar keeps me up :-)

Hmm... I pull all-nighters. I think the first time I pulled an all-nighter might've been in 5th grade. The last time was last night. I generally stay awake by not going to sleep. Reading is fun. Watching TV works. The computer works. Taking amphetamines (adderall) or caffiene (coke) can help, but I don't usually rely on them. Mostly it's my interest in whatever I am doing that keeps me awake.

ive noticed i require a sizable amount of sleep to maintain a good emotional state so i usually don't try to pull allnighters cause i know i'll feel like crap for days after. i sometimes do it though when absolutely necessary, like for school if i feel unprepared... but usually i'd just stay home sick and make it up late so i can go to bed and get my sleep :P haha. can't do that in college so i might as well take advantage of it while im still in high school ;)

anyways... i used to stay up late while drinking lots of caffeine, though it'd give me a stomach ache after a while.. or maybe that was just from too much soda in my belly! :)

I've been pulling all nighters all the time lately... I tend to drink a significant amount of coffee, sometimes energy drinks too, and I can't get to sleep until 5 am. Or I'm out with other people, and can't sleep till late anyways. If I have no reason to get up before noon, and nothing to be responsible for, then I naturally stay up late, and I'm productive a decent amount of the time too.

I like the nighttime a lot... so yes, I have pulled probably a few dozen all-nighters. I like the feel of blending in with the shadows, and the knowledge that most people around me are asleep, and I am the only one remaining vigelant. Gives me a pleasure, of sorts.

Several times a month I stay up around the clock (I'm a night person, so daytime is my "night"). I get most of my ideas after 1PM and work more efficiently at night.

I stayed up for 4 days on Adderall once....never doing that again, worst experiance ever....intresting but yeah not too fun due to this girl who was basically trying to ruin my life because apparently she did not want me in the picture and the two 'friends' of mine eventually took her side.

Other then that sometimes I just don't sleep well in general......on occasion I wake up and actually feel well rested, but usually either I can't sleep till like 1 in the morning, Or I get to sleep earlier and just end up having really weird dreams that cause me to wake up feeling anxious and exausted or I wake up repeatedly. So I end up drinking caffinated beverages during the day so I can feel more awake during the day.

I sometimes did it, for like gaming I guess :P

Now well my sleep is finicky, every now and then I pull an all-nighter and go to bed early the next day, to reset my body clock.

I just wish I didn't need sleep. Mind just never wants to rest, no matter how tired I feel :(

Did a 38 hour 'work' session once, to get a project done and out the way. Stayed up on coffee and caffeine pills. Got a good mark for it, but not something I'd like to repeat. Other than that I've done a few gaming all nighters on occasion, not surprisingly they're considerably more fun than a coursework session.
