I pulled an all nighter once in my life. It was back in university. I decided to stay up all night in the computer lap working on my project. I felt OK overnight. In the morning, I had a class at 8:30. I when to the cafeteria to have breakfast, felt fine and went to class.

About 15 minutes into my class, I was really struggling to stay awake. This was a very small class with about a dozen students, so I figured I wait for the end of the class, leave and get some sleep.

About 30 minutes in, I felt that my chance of staying up throughout the entire duration of the class was not good. The class was an hour and a half. I finally decided it was less embarrassing to just leave in the middle of the class than faceplant into the desk. I decided to leave.

I had to take the bus home. Now I was concerned that I'd fall asleep on the bus. Fortunately, a friend also got on the same bus. We chatted which helped me to stay away. She got off before my stop, but I didn't have any difficulty staying up until my stop.

I arrived home at around 10. I went to bed and slept until around 6p that evening. That evening I went to bed at 9pm and then woke up at my usual time the next day.

After going through all that, I didn't gain any time. I slept pretty much the same amount of time. I ended up losing a class as I had to skip out early and was too tired to pay attention in the beginning anyway. After that, I never pulled an all nighter ever again.
