Doing an all nighters and then staying up all the next day can be tough but can be done. I and my husband have both encountered all nighters and had to go to work the next day. I know for us the best thing we did was drink coffee and soda which I truthfully am not a huge fan of and stay busy. If you stay busy at work or school then you don't have time to stop and realize just how tired you are. Sometimes taking a nap in the middle of the afternoon is a huge mistake because that can throw you off later when you actually want to sleep. Alot of people can survive by drinking the coffee like I said already and if you are one of those then try Starbucks, they have double shots, and that is alot of caffeine. Also if you have to drive please be very careful, your reflexes may be off and you don't want to get in an accident where you may get hurt or hurt someone else. So in all honesty if you are to tired then don't drive. The last thing you want to do is fall asleep at the wheel, and that may sound like its hard to do but its not. I have to admit I did it a few times and that is actually very scary and I learned its not worth it. Driving should only be done when you are fully awake and can function normally. If you feel that you may not be able to drive simply call a friend and car pool or take a cab, you do have options. If at all possible avoid the all nighters it can just mess you up all the way around.
