  • Question
    What if other kids are sleeping?
    Community Answer
    Try not to wake them up, if you share a room you will need earbuds, and a good place nearby to hide the food and pop/water.

    Have a plan of what to do if you hear footsteps coming towards your room, even footsteps anywhere, and be ready to do this often.
  • Question
    What if I don't have any electronics in the room and I'm scared about 3 a.m.?
    Community Answer
    If you do not have electronics in your room, you could read, play with toys, or imagine a scenario in your head for a while. Don’t worry about 3 a.m. The 3 a.m. challenges are nothing but fake stuff to scare people. If you are legitimately scared, just think of something else! And stop watching those challenges.
  • Question
    I'm 13 and my parents' bedroom is right next to my bathroom. What do I do if it's really late (like 4 a.m.) and I want to take a shower?
    Community Answer
    First of all, you should avoid taking a shower if you can, because you'll almost certainly wake them up. If you really must, tell them you had a nightmare or something and you woke up all sweaty.
  • Question
    Can I place the items I need in a bag or backpack?
    Community Answer
    Sure! Just make sure the bag/backpack is closed securely so nothing spills out, and don't forget to hide the evidence afterwards!
  • Question
    How long do I have to stay up?
    Community Answer
    For an all-nighter, the main goal is to stay up all night, but if you do not feel like you can, go to sleep whenever you feel like it.

    Community Answer
    You can use your phone, computer or any other electronic. Make sure you are quiet. If you get bored then eat some snacks, drink water, play with toys, color, read books, listen to music, or watch outside the window.

    How can I stay awake and not bored?

    Watch YouTube, Netflix anything you like. Read a book or play on your Xbox. You could even play with toys if you do not have electronics.
  • Question
    What if I don't have any electronics in my room, or only one?

    Play with other things like Barbies, cars, or any other toys. You can read, imagine stuff (day dreaming at night), or watch TV.

    Community Answer
    Yes! As long as you have any kind of toy, plush, book, electronic, drawing paper, etc. You could even just use your imagination!

    Make a tent under your bed sheets.
  • Question
    What if I fall asleep before noon? Will that seem suspicious?
    Community Answer
    You can just say you didn't get much sleep the night before, or that you're really worn out from school. If you don't do it often, they probably won't get suspicious.
  • Question
    How can I make sure I wake up after pulling an all nighter?
    Community Answer
    Pulling an all nighter means not going to sleep, so you wouldn't have to wake up if you are pulling an all nighter. If you just want to stay up very late, set an alarm, or several alarms in case the first one doesn't wake you.
  • Question
    What if my parents wake up and find me awake eating snacks?

    Community Answer
    It's not good to lie, but just tell them that you woke up and you were really hungry so you went and got a snack, and that you were planning to go right back to sleep.
  • Question
    If I don't have headphones/earbuds, but desperately want to listen to music, what do I do? Should I risk it?
    Community Answer
    Listen to it on the lowest volume possible. You can even get under the covers to muffle the sound a little. If you keep your door closed, it's unlikely your parents would be able to hear it.
  • Question
    How do I pull an all nighter if my internet bill will show that I'm up?
    Community Answer
    You could tell your parents that you couldn't sleep or that you were doing homework or studying.
  • Question
    What if I'm grounded and my mum took everything out of my room except for my bed?
    Satsuma_Queen
    Community Answer
    Wait until you're not grounded anymore, or just sneak to wherever she put your stuff and use it or a bit. Just don't get caught!
  • Question
    What if I have a lot of people sharing a room with me and they all want to sleep?
    Community Answer
    Try saying you're going to sleep on the couch for the night. If that doesn't work, wait for them to go to sleep and then sneak out to the living room.
  • Question
    Will diet Coke help me to stay awake all night?
    Community Answer
    No. After 20 minutes you will crash from the sugar. Something healthier will last longer and won't make you crash.
  • Question
    My mother found this page in my search history, but I plan on pulling an all nighter again tonight, is that a safe idea?
    Community Answer
    No, wait a week, she will probably forget all about it in that amount of time.
  • Question
    What do I do if I'm depressed when pulling an all nighter?
    Community Answer
    You don't really have to do anything differently just because you're depressed. Try to do things that make you happy to cheer yourself up, or if you just want to get it out of your system, listen to some sad music and have a good cry.
  • Question
    How do I refill my water bottle at night when pulling an all nighter?
    LoveAllie
    Community Answer
    Sneak to the bathroom. If your parents are awake, tiptoe. If they are asleep, just try to avoid creaks. When you get there, turn the water on low. Only do this if you are thirsty, because it's risky. If they catch you, say you had a nightmare and woke up thirsty (or just tell the truth).
  • Question
    I want to pull an all-nighter in my room. Won't reading a book make me fall asleep?
    Community Answer
    It might, just try to break up periods of reading with other activities. For example, read for 30 minutes, then play on a device for a while or draw or color for 15 minutes, then go back to reading.
  • Question
    What if I have no Internet, computer, or game console? Can I write a fake diary or write in my real one?
    Community Answer
    Yes! Those are both great ideas. If you want to write a fake diary, try coming up with some crazy character that's totally different from you and write the diary from their perspective.
  • Question
    What if I don't want to be tired the next day?
    Community Answer
    Try to get as much sleep as you can the night before. You could also take an hour and a half nap before you pull the all nighter.
  • Question
    How do I pull an all nighter without light?
    Community Answer
    Just go on your electronic device, it has its own light. Or if you have a flashlight or book light, you can read.
  • Question
    Can I go to sleep at 3 and wake up at 4? Would it still be an all-nighter?
    Community Answer
    Technically an all-nighter means you don't sleep at all, so no. Also, getting one hour of sleep will probably just make you feel more tired than if you hadn't slept at all.
  • Question
    Should I get up to get my glasses?
    Holly Dounson
    Community Answer
    If it is possible to not do this, then don't. If you can't see without them, then you will have to get them. If you are caught with them on, say you were going to the bathroom or getting a drink.
