Well, I've been finding it really hard to get to sleep these past few weeks, and have been up very late on the forums a few times.

My latest was 04:00 and I'm typing this at 00:30.
So... anyone done an all nighter or something?

Post the latest you've been on, and if it's less than 23:00 I can laugh at you .

Just kidding,

not necessarily on the forums, but i think about 6:00AM

the thing is i cant actually remember what it was for, but i had a good reason to do so i remember.

plus i also consider myself kind of an insomniac, i just naturally don't like sleeping/find it hard to dose off. i also seem to enjoy the night a lot, its the one time where everyone just shuts up.

If I've excersised a lot (like today) I don't sleep at all, but if I've just been at my desk drawing/on the pc/working then I fall asleep instantly....

generally don't sleep often so, think the longest i've been on the forum for before is about 4days before passing out and sleeping for a day.

love to find a team of developers who work to the same scheduals i do.. be so interesting to see what we can come up with.

Last summer, when I didn't have a job and could stay up as long as I wanted, I had a wager with a friend to see who could stay up the longest. Needless to say I stopped at around 50 hours when I started seeing things. Yikes.

All depends, I sleep during the day mostly, so the nighttime is my time on the fourms and coding. I've gone from maybe 10:00am to 3:00 am

When I was at uni I fairly regularly did what Raven did - the few days without sleep then going into a coma for about 18 hours.

Now, what with work and girlfriend, etc - its harder/less convenient to do that. Latest? I've been up till 4am a few times during a work-week (having to get up at 6:30am).

Latest recently is about 1am, just too much work to do in the mornings to stay up later.

5.00 am...I'm not a late nighter, but that was when I made that anti-christ thread a while back, I managed to stay online for 5 hours on this forum thinking I had only spent an hour arguing.

But to be honest, I love my beauty sleep (I seriously need the beauty part ) 0:30 is late for me - I tend to like going to bed at 10:30 (That's on an early night) or 11:30. But today, looks like I'm gonna plonk out at 14.00...Barely slept a wink last night.

I love sleep. I've got four kids and an angry wife and sleep is my the time when I'm in charge. One day I'll be in charge FOREVER

Once when I first joined the Army I went back home for two weeks. I was shipping out to Korea at the end of the two weeks. I stayed awake for 5 days straight. First my fingers started to get numb. The numbness progressed up my arm until it reached my shoulder. Finally I got on the plane and slept and narrowly escaped death. Good times. Don't try it kids. By the way, it had nothing to do with a 'forum'.

Anyway, why would anyone stay up late on the forums? They aren't that interesting. I can exhaust all forum interest in about 10 minutes.


Come see the WIP!

I like sleeping because I experience lucid dreaming quite often. I have the ultimate power
