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.

The article also has tips for surviving the next day after an all-nighter. Do Soylentils have any techniques not listed to help them through all-nighters?

    I tried it too.

    It shows up as just another one of those quickie business sites that does not work.

    There are many other sites that do work.

    I spent about 30 seconds at the site. Waiting for stuff to load that never came. Its a "beginning business class" site, kinda like those business phone calls that hang up on you just as soon as you answer.

    This is the kind of stuff businessmen put up when they need to show a token effort to investors that they have a "presence on the web". Its hard to see them as a serious enterprise.

    Even a community college student taking his first course in HTML would have made a page that would have displayed something.

    This site would not have gotten past the first semester introductory webmastering course at the community college I attend.

    A site requiring JavaScript is just about as welcome as some cahoot extending a filthy hand and insisting on a shake.

    ( Dontcha just love it when some business guy catches you right as you are about to eat and here he is - hand jutting out - wanting a shake, after you have just washed your hands in preparation for eating?)

    This is something only investors will pay for.
