Look, nobody plans an all-nighter. And yet, here we are. This episode isn't about celebrating sleep deprivation, it's about damage control when you're already past the point of good decisions. We break down five things that actually help keep you functional through the night, without the classic strategy of mainlining caffeine and stress-eating your way to 6am.

We also call out the most miserable version of an all-nighter, where you're neither sleeping nor working. You know exactly what that feels like.

The five tools: food minimalism (yes, really), music and micro-movement, the hot water trick, strategic napping (including the napuccino, which is exactly what it sounds like), and the one mental reframe that makes the whole night feel less like a slow death. 

No health gurus were harmed in the making of this episode.
