    The older one becomes, the costlier all-nighters become. I did one last Friday night (ward member in the ER) and although I was fine while I was there, the next day was mostly lost to me.

        Couple times a month. I'm curious how people here do it without coffee.

            None anymore. When I was in retail management, it was common. My longest was an overnight store remodel. Worked 36 hours straight.

                Rarely, only when a surgeon decides to keep me up with a bunch of frozen sections

Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
