an all nighter

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.



all nighter
Staying awake, usually with the aid of caffeine and cold showers, for over 24 hours. Usually a feat performed by overworked students, but also by physicians and programmers, and other individuals who refuse to sleep until having solved some mystery.

An all-nighter is NOT simply staying up until the sun rises, then sleeping.
Example:
Jennifer felt like a zombie after having pulled two all nighters in a row during midterms week. "Really, it's not that bad after the 40th hour or so," she said, "...once you get past the hallucinations and the funny twitching thing your legs do."


all-nighter
Ditching sleep to spend several more hours cramming for tests, only to notice that you've drooled on your desk in front of the class the next day.
Example:
I pulled an all-nighter to study and ended up in the wrong class twice.


all-nighter
A study or work session that goes through the night; studying without sleep (usually a last-minute course of action).

The term is popular with college students who spend the night before an exam studying (or 'cramming'), trying to learn a lot of material in a short period of time. The term is frequently used in the phrase 'pull an all-nighter'.
Example:
1) We pulled an all-nighter to finish the report.

2) I pulled an all-nighter to study for my math exam.


All Nighter
Remaining awake and actively engaged in some activity during nocturnal hours. The type of activity will differ and the typical person is usuall between 17-40 years old
Example:
"Did you study for the biochem final?"

"Totally---I was able to buy the book for the class yesterday and I pulled an "all nighter."


all nighter
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
