When I can't sleep or just plain bored all night, games are a great way to force myself to get tired.

I just play till` I can't keep my eyes open.

This summer I've stayed up all night several times, but never for video games. I've been doing a lot more reading and listening to music, although I have been playing some Perfect Dark Zero multi-player a little bit as well.

All the time - I used to take my PSP to bed loads and end up staying till 3 or 4. And then get up to go to work next morning

PSP is now banned from the bedroom - is very hard to say no though.

Video games use to keep me up all night when I was a kid. But now that I'm grown I find it hard to stay up all night playing...especially when I have to be at work bright and early in the morning.

When it is the weekend or I'm on vacation I spend a good amount of time playing....but I still don't think that games have kept me up.

Ya they keep me up for nights and nights, but in-between I do other things like go out side and play sports. So video games might keep me up all night but they do not keep me busy all day.

Very rarely do I stay up all night playing videogames. Maybe once every couple months or so.

Usually on weekends when I have a new game I'll stay up. But if it's something I'm used to like Counterstrike then I won't stay up past midnight because I know I'm just doing the same old thing.

I play most of my horror games at night. Sometimes I get carried away and forget to sleep when playing MMORPGs.

It takes a really good game to keep me from getting my sleep, but it happens. I remember one summer years ago, staying up until sunrise for a weekto play Xenogears.

hmm, apparently this wasn't a joke either. no one wants to hear about your work ethic or your what you do instead of play video games on a website called gamespot.com

This is a chicken and egg question for me. I've always been something of a night owl and I've been a gamer since I was 5 years old. So am I staying up at night to play games, or do I play the games at night because I'm up anyway?

Either way I guess the answer to the proposed question would be yes. :)

again, he asked whether you stay up playingvideo games at night or not, not if you went through some epiphany after puberty. You Don't have to tell everyone you're a big boy now.

I stayed up all of last night playing Monster Hunter: Freedom... And before that, I think I stayed up all night playing my Wii the night it launched.

A good RPG will keep me up all night. I couldn't stop playing Ocarina of Time when I got my hands on it. Same with Final Fantasy X.

Ya, when I use to play Final Fantasy XI and it was the only time I could accomplish a certain task or when I had friends over when I was young so we could get all we could out of a rental before we had to return it back. Now a days, staying up late, being tired, and playing a video game feels like a chore. I don't feel like doing much when I'm tired, but lying down. I bought the video games. They're not going anywhere.

Videogames might make me go to bed a little later than I usually do sometimes. But I never stay up all night to play a game, I value my sleep and I really need it. :P

Not ALL night for me, but most of it. I remember playing Mario Party with a few friends well past midnight.

Nope, gaming is like a hobby, not something to stay up all night for, though sometimes I'll play till 1 when I can't sleep

They used to. Once you get a job and prefer to keep it, gaming all night is no longer an option :)

Yeah, just last week I pulled 5 all nighters finishing Chrono Trigger. My save data kept getting corrupted, so it was some serious mental warring (war).

It was weird, I just felt compeled to finish the game without fail. I wasn't able to save Lucca's mom from being handicapped or save the dying forest.
