I'm not a fan of all-nighters either. I've found being super organized allows me to do the activities I want and still find time for sleep. Thanks for the comment Caroline.

I was in a sorority, a collegiate athlete, a newspaper design editor, and an honors student, and I can tell you that my freshman and sophomore year were just terrible when it came to my energy, my mind, and disposition. Then, one day I just said, "no more." I was as productive as I could possibly be during the day, dropped some activities (as hard as that was) and took care of myself, meaning getting enough rest-- and I was SO much happier! I wasn't so emotional, I could get through the day without falling asleep in class, and I performed better in school. I will never pull an all-nighter again-- and I'm a law student now! Sometimes, you just have to say, "enough!" I’ve had jobs/times in college when I had to go with little to no sleep, and it severely affected my performance.

By the time you get through the first 3 stages of sleep it takes you 40 minutes and to actually regenerate your braind in REM you have to be asleep for some time so, I like the idea but I don't know if people and businesses could do it.

And the Japanese have perfected this art - it's not uncommon for the most important guy in the room to close his eyes while someone else is speaking and start snoring gently.
