Decision - Yay or Nay?
I'm beginning my third day of a back to back all nighter. I have to be up for at least an hour, but I can squeeze in an hour of sleep between 8 and 9. Yay or nay?

Wow man, that really sucks. I was just bitching to myself about having to pull an all-nighter tonight for a midterm, but you really put things in perspective.
I say get as much REM in as you can, but you'll feel like absolute shit when you hear that alarm go off after an hour.
Do you get to go home early today, or is this another normal day?
F'ing insane. I need to enjoy my sleep while I have it.
Just got home, so yes. Relatively early.
I was on here because I had to stay up and not fall asleep for a call from a currier to confirm delivery. Ended up not sleeping...
and yet you guys still want to do banking. that's dedication. or foolishness. or greed. or all three.
I have never stayed awake for that long, and want to see what happens. I hear clouds look like $100 bills after the 72 hour mark.
I second Jimbo's comment...S&T gentlemen.
recently a guy played 45 hours non stop games and died due to a heart stroke... does this happen in banking too?
"recently a guy played 45 hours non stop games and died due to a heart stroke"
not sure what a heart stroke is but not a bad way to go.
Go get that one hour and stop wasting it by posting here buddy (although we do appreciate you thionking of us :)
Wasn't he some korean guy? Played games in an internet cafe (probably starcraft) for 45 hours then had a heart attack. He was only early 20s as well.
I'd do S&T but I don't think it offers me the long term career choices I want and i'm not talking about PE exit ops after 2yrs either.
I heard he was on the latest version of warcraft. What a nob.
will make you more sleepy. i would take a catnap for like 20 minutes, shower, maybe do something physical (quick jog, pushups, whatever) and that should help a bit to keep you up
powernap. 5-10 minute ones. those make people more alert, but remember less....the longer the nap, the better their memory, the less alert.
what? no sleep because you had to wait for a confirmation? WOW
Well just not for that extra hour or so.
I'd use it to jerk off and then you will have a new set of stamina
How many hours total?
Yep. When you send a package by car, you have to wait for the phone call from the driver to say it was delivered. You can't just send it and forget about it. That is some of the most miserable time, when you've been up for days but you can't sleep because the effing driver hasn't called yet.
When the driver calls, you send a courtesy note to the recipient to let them know it's with their doorman or on their front step. Then you crash into some of the world's sweetest sleep.
