I'm pretty sure I agree. Certain problems require too much headstate to solve in smaller time quanta, and that at a certain point, when I'm bleary eyed, I lose enough caution to think daring thoughts.
Part of it's just the adrenaline, too. And if you have friends goading you on, an allnighter can be pretty fun.
- davidw 19y agoBut taking a slightly longer term view - how is your productivity the next day? What's it average out to over a few days with a big loss of sleep?
- danohuiginn 19y agoDepends how you manage it. When I do this, I go to sleep mid-afternoon the next day, and sleep for 12+ hours. When I wake up after that (early morning), I feel absolutely fantastic. The end result is probably only about 20-25 hours work in two days - i.e. not much more than normal working days. The advantage isn't in the total hours, it's in having the same problems rattling around in your head for a long time.
