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!!

In seventh grade I was trying so hard not to fail my spanish tests that I pulled a 48+ hour all nighter. I still failed.

When you stay up all night and don't go to sleep despite the fact that you have classes tomorrow, and you really do just hate yourself at this point.
I pulled an all nighter, I feel like dying.
