That's the best kind

Anyway I've pull off a few, and I do notice i dream a bit more when I'm super tired. Makes you feel like crap though.

I did one 2 days ago... Fell asleep during the day at 15.00... Now I'm doing it again.. it's 10 AM now... I want to get my sleep cycle correct... for most of the summer I've been goin to sleep at 4 and wake up at 2.. now it's more like 6AM to sleep and 4 PM up... So I try to fix it..

I've been pulling all-nighters a good bit this summer. If you or someone does want to do it make sure you wake up energized have a plan for what to do with your time and plan on sleeping at least 8 hours when you do finally fall asleep. One night every now and then is not that bad, although sleep deprevasion is bad for you, a small minority of sleep researchers think we sleep way too much and we are capable of regular all-nighters. After a couple years ago 6.5-7.5 hr/night is the proven optimum for longevity. When I pull an all-nighter, I find that after the next sunrise I have an unusually happy day but feel tired after waking up once I do go to sleep or the day after that. My PR is 84 continuous hours, when I was 17, but I do not recommend staying awake for more than one day or regularly as you will have frequent hallucinations, which go away after with even little amounts of sleep but can be unsettling. During my long stretch someone recommended B vitamins (now-a-days 5 hour energy) don't do that, it didn't do anything, placebos worked just as well. Good luck.
