Even in circumstances when pulling an all-nighter seems like it could help, such as to give you extra time to study or work, it’s still typically a bad idea. Given the cognitive impacts of sleep deprivation, those extra hours are likely to be less helpful.
Will pulling an all-nighter help me sleep?
Dark circles, bags under the eyes, constant yawning, and a struggle to keep your eyes open can all be expected when you pull an all-nighter to fix your sleep schedule. But, beyond the more obvious, short-term effects on your body, staying up all night can have long term effects on your body.

Is one all-nighter okay?

Is it OK to pull an all-nighter once in a while?
The Takeaway. While an all-nighter every once in a while isn’t going to do much damage (besides making you feel like garbage the next day), consistently getting fewer than 6 hours of sleep can have some dangerous long-term effects. For adults, the aim is to get 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
