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.

Question

What can I do if I don't have electronics and feel scared at 3 a.m.?

Community Answer

If you don't have electronics, try reading a book, playing with toys, or imagining a story in your mind. Don't worry about 3 a.m. challenges; they are made to scare people and aren't real. If you're genuinely frightened, focus on something else and avoid 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.

How long do I have to stay up?

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.

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.

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

What should I do if I want to listen to music without headphones or earbuds, and is it worth the risk?

Community Answer

Listen to music at the lowest volume possible and consider getting under the covers to muffle the sound further. With the door closed, it's unlikely anyone outside the room will hear it.

If you're grounded, it's best to wait until you're no longer grounded. If you choose to sneak your items back, be careful and try not to get caught.

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 stay awake all night?

Community Answer

No, Diet Coke may give you a temporary boost, but it often leads to a crash after about 20 minutes. Healthier alternatives can provide more sustained energy without the crash.

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?

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

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.

Should I get up to get my glasses?

Holly Dounson

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.
