Only when I have finals and need extra time to study.

It just happens for me, but sometimes I do these things as a boost:

Listen to Britney Spears' lead single - 'Work Bitch' from her self-titled middle name using album, 'Britney Jean' or just EDM in general.
Drink a few cups of coffee (one or two - depends on if you like it or not, though)
Possibly have somebody to stay awake with you (either Skype or Facebook, although Skype is easier since you'll be using your voice to reply and all)
Be sure to have had a good sleep the previous day beforehand or else it'll hit you easily
Eat food (chocolate, etc) - it tends to help me, don't ask

They seem dumb, but that's all that 'helps' me really.

Nope id rather fail. People pull all nighters and still end up with the same grade as me

The only advice I have is no matter how badly you want to nap the next day, DON'T.
You will feel like absolute death when you wake up, just wait til you can get a full nights sleep.

Yes, back when I was a party animal I would usually party all night until like 7AM then go straight to class

Auris

Only thrice.
Once when playing Age of Mythology
Once while reading Katawa Shoujo
Once while reading Muv Luv Alternative

Yes, the night leading into the day me and my friends took a day trip to London. I almost died when I got home.

I never pulled all-nighters during weeks I had school. I was grumpy in the mornings after 8 hours sleep. I'd hate to think how bad-tempered I'd be after being up all night and the day before!

Practically at the end of every semester. I work better under pressure.

Rihinvention

Every time I go clubbing.

Okami

Yes and I think I might be pulling a lot during summer courses

castle13

I used to do this a lot

Reinvention

Yes and it's legit the worst feeling ever cause you know you will be DEAD for the next two days.

Literally one of the worst things ever.

Yes, as long as you keep yourself occupied, you can do it. You can also drink black coffee, buy a pack of biological goji or anything with vitamin C (there's some good recipes on google) to help you not feeling like you just came out of your grave...

Sometimes, ther's just too many things to do and not enough time, so you have to cheat a little.
Last year I was super anxious the day before my oral thesis and I barely slept at all. The teachers eventually told me I did a good job presenting my work and answering their vicious questions. God truly exists because I thought it would be a MASSACRE!

Twice last summer. When I flew to Poland, and then later when I flew to Florida. It's because it takes me a very long time to fall asleep, and I just could not do it sitting in a chair (on a plane). I need to be lying down. Both times I went around 36 hours without sleep. I have never pulled an all nighter for school/studying. My sleep is more important
