I can't handle them like I used to be able to do.

But they're highly productive. I like all nighters in June and July because the nights are short. I found when doing all nighters you are better off to come up with a plan beforehand and stick with it rather than improvising as night goes along. The more tired you get the worse your judgement gets and you end up wasting time.

What kind of shape you are in is a big issue with respect to how long you can last. You need to be fairly thin to handle all nighters - or even big trips. I noticed since I became over 40 and overweight I can't do a lot of things like I used to be able to. Skinny bastages like DZ and McKenna - those guys are 50+ and they can run circles around me.
