Sleeping is very dangerous when trying to pull all-nighters... at least in my experience.
More than once I told myself that I would "just take a quick nap" only to wake up over two hours later and with that much less time to work on my assignment. I find that if I just keep working straight through, there comes a point when I get a "second wind" and a renewed energy that helps me get through the later part of the night (or early part of the morning?)
Coffee for me doesn't help at all; the caffeine ends up making me more jittery than anything else.
