Nobody likes skimping on sleep, but chances are you've done it. Whether to study for an exam, finish a tough project, or simply because you got stuck in an airport, pulling an all-nighter happens.
...
But with all that in mind, there are steps you can take to minimize the damage and treat your body (and brain) as well as possible under bad circumstances. Here's how to survive the night—and recover ASAP.
...
1. Bank sleep ahead of time.
2. Get any amount of shut-eye.
3. Bring on the lights.
4. Keep your room temperature moderate.
5. Skip the sugar and snack on protein and carbs.
6. Drink a little coffee—and a lot of water.
7. Get up and walk around.

Get shitfaced.
You will sleep, anywhere, any time, any position. Any noise level.

What used to work for me, before I became boss enough to avoid the all-nighters:
Rotate between beer, coffee and water to keep the mood light and avoid the caffeine yips.
Reward myself at mini-milestones with a small break to play a computer game or read a comic book.
Keep the up-beat jams pumping.
The terrorists have won, game, set, match. They've scared the people into electing authoritarian regimes.
