pulling an all nighter is commonly believed to be when you sat up until the sun rises doing homework then sleep in the morning. it is not. pulling an all nighter is when you stay awake for any reason whatsoever all night (give or take one hour) and continue into the next day.

Once I pulled an all nighter that lasted over 48 hours. I pulled one last night because I had a friend over. She passed out at 7 am.

REASONS TO PULL AN ALL NIGHTER:
• studying
• your schedule is so busy you get home from classes at 9 (my case at age 12) and have to do hw
• you're an insomniac
partyyyy!!
• other

IF U R PLANNING ON PULLING AN ALL NIGHTER:
♥ turn on the A\C or open a window
♥ play loudish music with a fast beat (Lady GaGa and the Ting Tings are goood options)
♥ Don't wear your pjs
♥ don't eat sugar. sugar crashes suck.
♥ drink caffiene
♥ splash face with water
♥ keep all lights on
♥ try and keep a vibe going with would you rathers, truth or dares, movies, dancing (in the case of a party or a sleepover)
