My typical solution for how to pull an all nighter is don't, unless there is some horrible deadline. Life's a marathon, not a sprint and those extra 8 hours of increasingly less productive time (~6 hours @ full capacity) will cost far more than this in lost productivity working off that sleep debt.

I think all nighters feel more productive than they are.
