I'm not sure... I think my first was some time in grade 11 though. I find my sleep schedule tends to slowly go full circle throughout the year. Right now I'm falling asleep around 6:00 PM and waking up at 12:00 AM. lol

I think the longest I've ever been up was 4 days straight. That was disgusting.
I dunno how many all nighters I pull...Let's count one for every exam/midterm and for every other weekend where I just find better things to do then sleep.

i have serious issues when it comes to sleeping, i don't think i have insomnia, just not a fan of sleeping. In order to stay awake, i play 30 Rock at low volume, Tracy Morgan is so entertaining.

Ya, sleeping is stupid. I'm waiting for somebody to figure out a way around it through science or something.

A little tip for those wanting to stay up, my body cant handle excess amounts of caffiene so i cant drink energy drinks. What i do is drink 7 bottles of water, as fast as i can and as a result have to go to the bathroom every hour for around 5-6 hours.

For academics? Only one.
Though I've pulled quite a few in past extra-curriculars when at Sheridan College on the Baja team. Machining and welding at 4 in the morning = fun

I've never pulled an all-nighter and I'll be finishing my very last exam tomorrow. Time management is key.

you've pulled THIRTEEN all nighters?
Holy shit. How are you still alive??
I pulled a bunch in first year, until I realized that I do better on tests/exams if I sleep, even if it means studying less, rather than studying everything and being too tired to remember it the next day.
Sleep is amazing.

Like.
My only all nighter posted above began at 11PM the night before a big business plan project was due for Entrepreneurship 2EN3. My group had finished and called it a night, and much to my dismay when I opened up the final product the entire 65 page plan was written in third person and not first person.
Between that and terrible formatting in Word, I didn't finish until 8AM...

I've never pulled an all-nighter... I don't see the benefit of them. I really like my sleep and time management helps a lot as well.

I don't see how it has anything to do with time management...
I've only pulled an all-nighter once, and that's because I had to leave to go to the airport at 4am. I went to sleep shortly after.
That being said, I unfortunately have terrible sleep most nights anyway, so I do get hours less sleep than I should, just over time as opposed to at once.
