All nighter or 2 hours sleep?

Get sleep so you work more efficiently in the morning.
You fall asleep, you wont wake up. Or be completely drowsy.
You need some coffee or 5 hour energy to keep running until you are able to sleep properly.

Stay up at this point, trying to sleep for 2 hours will pretty much make you tired all day by the time you wake up, but staying up will leave you energized for longer (with enough energy drinks).

yeah if you fall asleep now you'll end up worse i suggest trying your best to stay awake and maybe go to bed earlier, so you can at least catch up on a little bit of the sleep you missed
You're this far, better go all the way.

Whenever I do this I just oversleep and feel bad still, best thing is to just not sleep and down a load of caffeine.
Go for the all nighter!
Take a shower, drink some energy drinks and listen to loud music and get your blood pumping. Don't sit/lie down though or you'll fall asleep for sure.
Going to sleep now would just destroy your day.
Your body will prefer the 2 hours of sleep.
While you will feel worse when you do get up, that will wear off a bit during the day. If you get no sleep at all, sure you feel ok now but as the good goes on you'll be completely worn out.
So sleep, and next time just go to bed at a decent hour. You owe your body that much.

do the all nighter or you'll be fucked in 2 hours
seriously
That picture is funny because it was on the news that some bitch got that tattoo and when she got home her parents freaked out and she said she fell asleep and a scary man tattood her face, then 2 weeks later she admitted that she wanted it lol.

Stay up, becuase if you do get to sleep you will just want to stay asleep when you wake up.
My opinions are so useless, I don't even listen to them.
I actually had a similar problem, since it was getting later and later and I couldn't actually properly fall to sleep. However, in a bizarre turn of events, I actually woke up still before my alarm clock went off.
This too will pass.
Memento mori
I've noticed from experience that if I stay up all night without trying to sleep at all, I'll be more awake for the first half of the day than if I had gotten any sleep at all. (I even know of a scientific explanation for why this is, but I'll spare you the details) Sitting quietly for 10-15 would probably be the most effective way to rest yourself. I'd say to do a stabilizing meditation for a bit, but if you've never done one, now would be a bad time to learn how.
OMG I am in the same situation, I have to go to the airport in 2 hours.. but I am not sleeping :D
You're Hitler, haven't you been asleep for a few years now?
DO NOT GO TO SLEEP. Trust me. it will be so much better. No sleep turns you into some kind of one track pneumatic machine. 2 hours of sleep makes you think that you should still be sleeping, and you will fall asleep so much more.
Oh, and in either case, never get to comfortable. Keep yourself on edge, or you will pass out.

Sig by PabMo. Thank you very much.
I'm in the same boat tonight, actually. I think I'm just gonna stay up, even though I'm dead fucking tired.
brains.
Personally I would just stay awake at that point, and I would probably drink some coffee too (even though I normally never drink coffee).
You might feel a bit like crap in the morning, but usually you'll put yourself over your sleep around noon. At least that's what I usually experience. By the time I get really sleepy again it's usually already evening, so you'll be home from work and can go to bed if you like. I would try to stay awake until at least 10 or so though, to prevent yourself from waking up at 4 AM and get a very bad sleep-rhythm.
Well i can sleep 2 or 12 hours and still be awake when i have to. i am only a little tired when i'm getting waked up. but then it goes maybe 10 minutes and i am fully awake =D

Since your body will quickly go into a deep sleep state because it's already tired, the 2 hours sleep that you will get will make you feel much better in the long run, than having no sleep at all. Plus you will be more work efficient than if you would with no sleep.
I don't know about this. Of course it is good that you've had at least some rest, but I think I've heard once that waking up in the middle of the "deep sleep"-phase is actually pretty bad for you.
So I'm not sure which one would be better ultimately. I think you are right in that the two hours of sleep will be better on the long run. On the other hand though, if that difference starts to kick in in the evening he would have been better off staying awake I think.
Forgot to reply to this one earlier

If you go to sleep, the next scene will be you waking up at 1 pm.
Haha, ugh, I'm in the exact same situation. Sleeping is better for you and you'll feel like shit for the first half of the day, but staying up you'll feel better for the first half but worst the second half.
(I'm going to school in 5 hours. I think I'll just fall asleep the moment I get home)

Too right! I stayed up, I got work done did a presentation and all is well in the world.
Let that be a lesson to you all!
At this point it's just better to go for an all nighter, just buy some energy drinks and go to work.
My experience says stay up, if you go to sleep you will be nonfunctional when you wake up.
