Poll of the Day > When was the first time you stayed up all night?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was 12. I had some weird insomnia and decided to stay up till dawn.
---

I was like fourteen at the time, and I stayed up until the next day practicing my signature, because I was in a phase where I drank a crap-ton of tea at the time.
---

2 semesters ago. Every semester the gaming club at my university does a 24 hour gaming marathon for charity (We donate like ~$2000-3000 to a local children's hospital yearly).

I don't stream during it, but I go to hang out with friends and play games. I've done it 5 times now, only reason I didn't include last semester was because there were funding issues or something and we weren't able to do it last semester.

Hopefully should be happening again in 3 months though. Whenever I do it, I have a blast.
---

Some night before a family vacation when I was younger. I have difficulty sleeping in cars/planes, so I thought I would stay up all night to help myself fall asleep during the trip.
---

Probably playing video games in middle school.
---

One night I just couldn't fall asleep so I played Diablo 2 til morning.
---

Don't think I ever really have. Always get a brown out nap for about an hour somewhere around 4 or 5am. I remember always trying to though in high school during vacations. One winter vacation I was staying up and had Adult Swim to keep me up til 2am or so but after that I was struggling to find things to watch. I wasn't a big gamer then so couldn't just game all night. I think I was watching Bram Stroker's Dracula at 3:30am when I dozed off and next I knew it was 6am
---

I can't even remember what happened yesterday and you're asking me this? Probably in my early teens if not before.
---

high school sophmore year. There's an event/"fieldtrip" for sophmores where you spend a whole night at school dedicated to hanging out with your friends/classmates, doing activities and stuff.
---

When I was like 5, stayed up all night watching movies with my mom.
---

Had to have been atleast 5th grade. My friend slept over and brought Final Fantasy VII. We played it all night
---

First time? Back in high school. For no particular reason. Just cause me and my friends wanted to.
---

Can't remember, one of the countless times when I was younger and my siblings and I got together to watch adult swim/toonami

it's pretty easy to stay up with a lot of people around :p
---

I don't think I've ever done so. The latest I've stayed up was......up to 4am. After that, it was just sheer exhaustion.
---

I can't remember the age but I guess sometime in middle school. I was at a bunking party.
---

I went to this weeklong summer camp every year when I was a kid, and on Saturday, we had to leave to go home at like 6 in the morning. Since we did stuff until late at night on Friday, I always just stayed up Friday night and slept on the way back home

I think that was the first time, at least
---

I don't quite remember the first time but I do remember one time, which probably was one of my first ever all nighters.
It was the night before Super Smash Bros Brawl came out here in EU.
My brother and I was superhyped for it and decided to stay awake all night and just talk about all kinds of shit.
When we eventually bought it from the store and got home, we literally played Brawl for over 18 hours Straight.
We played until 4am which was when we finally unlocked all the characters.

Totally fucking worth it : D
---

Way back in the day. Probably over a decade ago, at least. It was a sleepover and we decided it would be fun to stay up all night telling ghost stories lol

In second grade when I rented Harvest Moon from the Family Video that opened up a few blocks away.
---

5th grade, had a concussion and my parents weren't sure how severe it was so they kept me up all night to make sure I didn't fall into a coma.
---

8 or 9.
---

A friend loaned me Pokémon Blue when I was about 7 or 8 and I sat up all night playing it. Best decision ever.
---

Seven or eight. We would sleep over one of my cousin's house and stay up all night playing NES.
---

Like for over 24 hours? Man, years ago.

oh really? I don't even know when I first did that.
---

Probably just after our car accident when I was 9. I was sent home untreated, and the injuries I had made it impossible to sleep. The longer it went on(several days) the worse it became. I think I ended up going like 4 days with no sleep, food, or water(trips to hospital during those days where I had IV drips though). Eventually I was so weak and sick(I was literally dying) that I could barely stay awake and get a bit of sleep, if you can call it that.
---

When I was about 9 or 10, I once stayed up all night with my brother watching him play Final Fantasy 5.
---

Define "all night." If you mean I was up the night but went to bed in the morning, no idea. One thing that jumps to mind was when I first got a copy of Pokemon Blue where I played it straight through the night and fell asleep in the morning. However, I'm not sure if I've ever gone a full 2 days (or day and a half?) without sleeping since, even when I pulled an actual all-nighter during college, I napped during the following afternoon.
---

Last night. I went to bed at 8 in the morning.
---

The earliest one that I can remember is high-school graduation night.
---

First time? I don't think I ever slept during the night until I was well into my teens. I've always found it easier to sleep during the day.
---

probably during elementary school to prove their was no santa.

24 hours is nothing, done that several dozen times. done 36 probably around 10-13 times. did 48 hours once.

also did 5 days with only 10 hours of sleep. i borrowed san andreas from a friend on a monday and returned it on friday. was going to school at the time so it took longer to beat.

This makes me sad.

Define "all night."

You are awake during the entirety of the period in which it is dark. You go to sleep at the moment the sun rises or later.

believe it or not last tuesday

40 fking hours of straight awakeness. basically a friend dragged me to this thing at the local uni they call "The Gitch" which is basically an all night gaming party, they had a X360 set up and an old PS2 with some guys playing sonic heroes, we all ordered dominoes, i spent about 4 hours playing cards against humanity and another 2 playing yu-gi-oh, most of it was on my phone or 3DS though. i was so glad to see the end of it come 6AM, we walked into town, got subway for breakfast, he had to go into college and i got a lift home. spent most of the day just doing whatever on the computer, he was already falling asleep (walked into a lamp post off memory) and was basically running off like 8 tins of cheap energy drink. and he was shattered when he got back home. we watched some anime for a bit but around 8PM he was so KOd i basically carried him to his room to sleep and spent another 6 hours on the computer before hitting the sack at midnight.

TLDR 6PM tuesday 4th-12AM Thursday 6th

Its ore rare that i don't. I am suprised about people reactions thpugh. Thought it was a common thing for kids to stay up if not forced. Even now, i usually force my self to sleep at night. I get tired during the day more often then night, of course i have to work during the day but ya know. If i have he choice ill stay. Up all night and sleep durin the day. When i was a kid it was every weekend i would stay up yell the next day, sk e i wouldn't but a majority of the ime me and my friends stay up all night and day. Longest i have been awake wihout sleep or nap is 3 - 4 days. Sleep is for the weak : p

Agreed, koga your too hard on yourself man. But I feel the same way about myself all the time. We just have too look past the shit we tell our selves. I'm pretty self destructive. I made a topics a couple of weeks ago showcasing just that. All i van think of to tell ya man, just remember your not alone in this brotha. I'm struggling right beside you too, man.

I was awake for 22 hours straight until around 11am this morning.

Probably as a baby. Apparently I didn't sleep...

In terms of being capable of thought and choosing to stay up all night... I dunno, probably when I was 11.
