A term used to describe the act of
staying awake throughout the night (sometimes more than
24 hours at a time). Usually, one pulls an all nighter so that they can get a
project or
report done, or simply because they're having
sex. There is no valid reason to pull an all nighter other than these provided. The
exception is when you're
drunk, because no one knows why they do anything when they're drunk.
Landscape Architecture Students pull all nighters all the time. It's a condition that turns us all into nocturnal beasts, always fighting the bedtime hour. We feel more productive if we sleep less. That makes us good in bed.
