Not quite an all nighter, but three hours sleep last night.

WHY DO I ALWAYS START NEW GAMES SO LATE!?

I didn't sleep last night but it wasn't my choice. I just didn't get tired until about a half hour before I had to be up. Needless to say, today fucking sucked.

Haven't done an all-nighter since college, but a Factorio binge is just about the only thing that can keep me up past 2am.

Its not even a binge for me. Its: oh one hr before bed? Let me just fix this real quick. 3am: fuck.

I only did those when I was excited for a new game. I’ve become a very patient gamer.

yasss, I'll just add a few signals to upgrade the iron-ore rail network for longer trains. Maybe I should just upgrade all stations... it won't take much longer... do I hear birds?

Yeah, all-nighters are easy. It's more the ~24 hrs+ cliff that comes out of nowhere that's rough. Then there's the battle to power on for another 14-15 hrs through the waves of highs and lows, because I'd rather that than sleep during the day and blow up the sleeping pattern.

Pulling all-nighters for gaming shows very little experience with pulling all-nighters.

Im glad im not the only one that trains cause a cascading effect on.

I ain't tired; my eyes start to get blurry unless I have drops.

In my 40s - "That's my secret, I'm always tired"

Yeah I was gonna say, I do all nighters all the time, just not the fun ones anymore.

I struggle to pull an all-dayer

Just pop some dexamphetamines, problem solved.

The four-day work week helps a lot, I can still do it and I'm 37.

My problem is opposite. I am trying my best not to pull all-nighter every night xD

Tho I get my energy boost around 7 pm so yeah.

I'm glad if I make it to 3AM... and that is when I had my nap around noon.

I wish all nighters were still an option
My body is ready, i want it. But it's not the responsible thing to do. Gotta function properly the next day

Being an adult sucks, they warned us about it

I was pulling all-nighters well into my 40's, but I had insomnia. It wasn't something I wanted to do. However, I did take advantage of it for work.

I found the solution to my insomnia and never looked back. Now I fall asleep almost like a normal person.

Most of the time when someone brags about 4-day weeks they still work 40+ hours and I don't envy them much

ive always been eepy. I mean, naturally i will tend to being up at night, but being a marathon type of gamer is not in my blood

What was the solution??

That's true, I only work 32 hours though. And it's not bragging, I've had burnout before and can't work more than that for long periods of time, my body cannot handle it anymore.

you're weak

for me it was eating a heaping bowl of granola. knocks me straight out.

being an adult is awesome.

but i hated being a child. It was miserable and video games were very limited supply and my time was very limited.

hows the beetus treatin ya

It'll be easier when you're 70+

granola doesn't give you diabetes.

"It's like 8:30 in the evening. I really should be getting ready for bed."

still referring to the lights out factor of it... something to consider. not a doctor tm

I'm lucky if I make it to midnight on the weekends lol

30 was basically a brick wall. In my 20s I pulled an all nighter at least twice a month no problem. Now I become a complete zombie by 10am

If I'm really locked in on something I can get to like 2am. It's rare that anything does that for me anymore though. Too many other worries distracting me.

granola is perfectly healthy dude. no idea what you are on about. it knocks me out because my stomach is full instead of empty.

maybe you have it confused with granola bars, which are basically candy.

Wait until your 40s.

I don't usually even stay up for New Year's anymore.

😬

If you aren't a doctor you shouldn't be suggesting normal bodily function = diabeetus.

My "all dayers" is when I sleep from 12am to 4pm. You mean I have to be awake for that time??

Lol went to bed at 5 to get up by 9

Still something to consider. Apparently people think granola isn't loaded with sugar and becomes healthy when not pressed into bar form. But please, if you're living closer to the condition than I, go off king and or queen

Same dude, 4am is like the norm if inlet it happen and I'm 36

I'm practically nocturnal, so staying up til sunrise is no problem, in fact getting to sleep before sunrise is the tricky part. It's the after sunrise part when I hit the wall.

I don't think I pulled my first all-nighter until my mid-twenties. I still do it maybe twice a year, but honestly my sleep schedule these days is bad enough that it's probably carcinogenic.

I think that you should probably ask clarifying questions, granola is sugary but it's totally normal to be tired after loading up on carbs. It's when it pushes into extreme exhaustion that you should be concerned. Eating a bowl of sugary granola and ending up tired afterwards is normal, carb load + sugar rush/crash.

That being said, sleep deprivation also contributes to a higher risk of diabetes - from your cells being less sensitive to insulin (resistant), raising levels of ghrelin (hungry hormone), lowering levels of leptin (hormone that makes you feel full). It also fucks with your pancreas.

All in all, everyone should be careful about sugar intake/beetus - but a multitude of factors can contribute to it. Now if they're eating an entire bag of granola every night... yeah I'd find a different way to load up on carbs.

My week

Thank you for applying nuance. My snide doesn't hit the same mark, for obvious reason. Hope the quip wasn't too triggering for everyone...

i go to bed on 12/31 and hope secretly that it’s all a simulation that ends.

30+ lol, rookie numbers 😂

By that age you'd have seen such an event almost 20 times, give or take. You know how it turns out and don't need to see it for yourself, you can just get the highlights later if anything abnormal happens.
