Staying Up All Night
I stayed up all night working and went to sleep at around 8:30am, and woke up at about 3. I feel *really* weird now, I've been going to bed at 4 and 5 for the last week or so and I haven't ever felt this weird. I got enough sleep but I'm still tired. Anyone know why?
Also, would it have been really bad if I'd not gone to sleep? I don't think I could have done, was soooo tired!

I hate not getting proper sleep, i can do it but i feel so ill the next day. your body just needs to get bk into its proper pattern, dont worry. you'll feel fine in a couple of days!
becuase you've stayed up late and sleeping at funny times in the day it's messing up your body clock.
I once slept for 21 hours and felt exhausted when I woke up. 
It's normal.
I stayed up all night on Sunday night. I'd been getting up at 3pm and needed to sort my body clock out, so I just stayed up all night and went to bed at a normal time the next day. Staying awake that long is absolute hell, I just keep myself in front of the computer, because that keeps me awake. Sometimes I have to have a little 2 hour nap during the day to survive.
My body seems to be at its happiest when I'm going to bed at 2am and getting up at 1pm, unfortunately it's not practical. Takes me hours to get to sleep regardless of how tired I am too, but I find Horlicks helps. (Yet herbal sleeping pills never have.)

when it's like that i prefer not to go to bed at all ang sleep early the next day. i actually did it saturday night and it was fun. when we came back from our "night" out it was almost noon lol. so we decided it was better not to go to sleep at all as the day would be ruined and we all had stuff to do. we ended up hanging out all day playing pool etc... then i went back home at 8pm and finished an essay i had to hand in the next morning. (i'm nuts i know, but so far i've gotten away with it)
it's not as tough as it may sound. your body just goes through phases. like at 10am i thought i was gonna fall asleep but then the tiredness went away and i got through the day ok.

Personally i can handle the odd all nighter and feel fine for the next morning but in the afternoon it'll really hit me and my eyes will be heavy. But then again in the evening, im fine again and even fall asleep at the same rate as i do on a night where i slept previously (which is relatively slow).
Often when I'm bored I stay up til 3AM, usually my friend is online at that time too. When I wake up in the morning to check my e-mail that guy is *still* online. His sleep routine is messed up, some days he'll go to bed at 8AM and wake up at 2PM, others he'll go to bed at 10PM and wake up at 7PM.

Nothing wrong with it, as long as you have a designated amount of hours sleep does it really matter when in the day you do it? Yeah it can be anti-social if you're living in the night and sleeping during the day (technically im like that but im "awake" physically for school and "come alive" at night)
Basically, you've given yourself jet lag. Your body expects daylight when you wake up, not it getting dark again, so you've just thrown your body clock off kilter.
I've done it to myself a LOT- by doing theatre. Last weekend, for example, I had a normal day Saturday, went to the theatre from midnight until 8am- taking down the stuff from a show and then partying- and did other things all day. I gave myself an hour's nap at about midday so I wouldn't be too tired but it threw me off balance.
Basically, on weekends lately I;ve been spending all Saturday night and early Sunday morning at the theatre and sleeping for a bit on Sunday. It screws your body clock but if you go to bed at the right time the next day and get up at a decent time it gets back on track, I find.

Your body has what is known as a Circadian rhythm. It a 24-hour cycle of hormones and is regulated mostly by light-levels.
As such, you should really go to sleep when it's dark, otherwise you'll play havoc with your body's chemicals, and may end up being moody or tired at strange times of the day.
Having said that, we can all close our black-out curtains and make it nighttime during the day, and we could all go to work in a fluorescently-lit office at night. That wouldn't be too bad.
The "jet-lag" people feel is your body adjusting to a new Circadian rhythm because the pattern of light-levels changes when you take a trans-Atlantic flight, for example. This has been observed to happen with racehorses as well, believe it or not.
So if you keep adjusting your bedtimes by large amounts (like 10pm some nights, 8am others), you will be giving your body a tough time. You might not even eat properly, and this can lead to other problems.
Bottom line: get a decent amount of sleep at regular times!

When doing an allnighter I tend to go to sleep at around 6-8pm.
It's a common problem for people working shifts. I often work nights, it is around 9am before I get home and then I often cannot go to sleep so I can be going for 24/48h without proper sleep. If I go to sleep after coming back home and then wake up around 4 I am usualy still a bit tired and slogish. Bad thing, I cannot realy sleep the folowing night, which is ok if I am working again but not so good if I am not and have uni the next morning.
It was much better in the summer when I was working night shifts all week long and my body clock simply shifted itself completely so that I could sleep well during the day and wake up refreshed around 5pm to get ready for work.

Drink plenty of strong alcohol that'd do the trick - rum, port etc. 
There is nothing wrong with you. Just tired. If you are a night type of person it makes sance to stay up late to finish up work and then have a lie in. If you are a morning type have an early night instead and then wake up at let say 6am and do your work. Either way you should idealy be looking at 7 hours of sleep.
