All-nighters drawbacks

Well, I used to pull all-nighters which is basically, staying up for 24hrs and playing video games during that time (or even longer if you enjoy even more intense eye pain).
To already clarify: I don't have bad eye sight due to this. It's actually a different case and not related to gaming anyways.
Also if you're intense gamer, then you would pull out a all-nighter several times. [Which i don't suggest unless you're no-lifing a MMO game like me :d, Also you don't need to pull all-nighters to be intense gamer btw]

I pulled 2 all-nighters successfully, other ended up with me passing out or falling asleep while grinding dungeons in MMO games or while playing osu. Well, if you're sleepy, you don't know what you're doing. [I scratched my eye yesterday and i'm left with a nice red dot on my eyeball. It's not small either and it hurts :<]
Well, my schedule hasn't changed much. It's the following:
  • MMO game grinding session [3-4h]
  • Rhythm game session [2h]
  • [A somewhat, chillout session] Destroy your VM 101 & Anime session [3h, sometimes less]
  • FPS game session [5h]
  • Console session [2-5h]
  • Casually playing games & Anime session [5h]
(I only added anime since 2016)
Pro's of doing these? Nice in-game armor and sthuff. Also, unlimited supply of snacks.
Cons [so called 'drawbacks'?] Back pain, intense eye pain, rigged sleep schedule, fatigue, teeth ache (or teeth pain) and headache.
Technically, it's okay to do these once in awhile but don't be dumb like me and do it twice in one week. Believe me, it's not fun to walk, interact and study like a zombie. [Literally, you feel like a walking trash or shit.]
Like i mentioned in my blog post about how i forget about stuff, that's why i'm sometimes insane with all-nighters.

Question to temp: Did you pull out a all-nighter? If yes, why? If no, why you never did that?
And as always, see ya in another blog post(add tm and copyright here)

The last time I did an all nighter was during my senior year of high school. I did one after knowing I was going to pass high school (all grades and test done and I set to go to college in a few months.)

I remember playing Oblivion that Friday night up until noon of that Saturday. I ended up passing out and waking up around Saturday night with my console still on lol. I remember the ass pounding headace more then anything else.

Since then I swore not to do that again. Hell I can't even game for more then 4 hours at a time before starting to develop a minor headace.

I end up doing, or at least trying an all nighter every night... though most of the time I pass out. The past 2 nights were successful...

I've only ever done it deliberately (not brought on by insomnia) once.

I was in my last year of school and was utterly ****ed by one of the programme coordinators who neglected to look over my 4,000 word research paper before submission and who, after submission, insisted it be completely scrapped and rewritten in 5 days. That time would also coincide with the due date for a piece of coursework I hadn't worked on due to thinking I'd have all 5 days and nights to marathon it in.

Good. God. In those 5 days I collectively got about 7-8 hours sleep. A couple of nights I didn't sleep at all, and some I had slept for a couple of hours with 10,000 alarms set up. I was tethered to my desk for days and I felt so disgusting and ill, and every key press brought another temptation to just put my head down and pass out.

If I were in that position again I would probably just opt to flunk school, having seen how nasty it gets.

I pull all-nighters mostly when I feel really shit about something. I may wake up early without the need of an alarm clock but I do not fit in the early happy-go-lucky person category. There are some cases I pulled all nighters gaming though. The craziest for me is when I slept at 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day.

I pull all nighters often, mainly because I feel fairly awake the next day (My ADHD is like a thermometer with bipolar disorder...)

I can't afford to that anymore. It kills my productivity at work, plus it's incredibly painful to work when you don't sleep.
Last time I pulled a all nighter was during my vacation in may because I only had that to do for 2 weeks, lol

I'm pulling an all nighter ATM.
Spent the whole night playing Resident Evil 6 with a couple of mates online now playing CoD Black Ops 2 with a friend of mine on split.
Just had a monster drink and 4 cups of coffee, I'm euphoric ATM.
