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 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

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.

Nightcore Flower

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.

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

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.

What if I have a lot of people sharing a room with me and they all want to sleep?

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.

No. After 20 minutes you will crash from the sugar. Something healthier will last longer and won't make you crash.

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.

What if I have no Internet, computer, or game console? Can I write a fake diary or write in my real one?

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

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.
