It's been over 20 years since I've pulled an all-nighter, but in my experience you don't know ahead of time when you'll be doing it. All my all-nighters were caused by unexpected events that happened late in the day.
Then again, that could just mean I'm good at scheduling my time so all-nighters aren't needed.
