Today I broke my all-time record for staying up late. It was 6 a.m. but I was still really excited. Do you think Codeforces is such an interesting thing? It reminds me of playing computer games all night when I was a child.

At Microsoft Q# Contest. After 8 hours, I had one problem left to solve. It was 9 PM here, I was tired and wanted to sleep, but I knew that if I waited until the next day to solve the last problem, I wouldn't get a t-shirt, so I stayed up until 1 AM.

I had a few nights at which I was writing two 5-hour ACM-team contests alone (starting about 11 pm maybe, ending in the morning). So, probably I'm a winner here :P

I stayed up for AIM Tech Round 5 because I was in UTC+8. So the start time was 00:35. When the contest is finished, it is nearly 3 a.m.

    Oh, for me it's usual. I am in UTC+10, so most cf rounds end about 2:35 am. AIM tech finished for me at 4:50 am, but I was discussing it about 30 minutes. So went to sleep about 5:30 am.

Well, not for Codeforces because CF rounds are usually 13:30 in local time (a very inconvenient time by the way), but I've stayed up really late for Google Code Jam. This year I've stayed up to 9 AM for one Round 1 contest. The round was at 6 AM, and I knew getting up early for the contest was absolutely impossible for a night owl like myself, so I decided to stay up for it. The contest ended around 8 AM, but discussing problems and checking my solutions took another hour, so I ended up going to bed after 9 AM.
