When I usually get a chance to play it tends to be late at night. My wife and I watch Who's Line is it Anyway? till 11pm and sometimes she will fall asleep during it. I take this time to get her some pillows and let her camp on the sofa will I sit down and play for a bit. Usually that is until 2 or 3am.
Now comes the question...
It is 3am and I need to get up at 6am to get ready to leave for work (at 6:30am). Would you go ahead and get 3 hours of sleep, or would you just stay up and play for the next 3 hours?

You make me tired just reading this question!
If you are talking just once in awhile, then I would stay up. If you are talking on a regular basis, I would get the sleep.
I've only pulled one all-nighter - a Positron TF that finished up around 6:30AM or so. I was a zombie the whole next day!

Depends on how I felt. If I was fallin asleep at the wheel, I'd go for the nap time. But if I was feelin good feelin fine, I'd go for broke (and probably regret it as the middle of the workday rolls around).
I don't know about you, but the longest I ever stayed up straight was something like 36 hours. That was recently when we had our newest child. I figured I'd be good to stay up late playing that saturday night, and sure enough, around 10 pm or so, she goes into labor. Didn't get to sleep again till afternoon the next day, or was it evening? I don't remember. Those two whole days are a bit of a blur. :)

get the sleep.
you'll crash a lot sooner with no sleep than with 3 hours.
and you dont want to fall asleep while driving home from work either! i fell asleep at a stop light the other day and i had 6 hours of sleep the night before.
and remember, das carrot wont be able to heal you if you sleep,drive and crash.

Depends on how you feel at 3am. If you can make it with no sleep, I say burn the candle at both ends then. If you can barely hold your head up off the keyboard I say drag it to the sack.
You can accomplish a lot in 3 hours in game. While 3 hours of sleep can make you a zombie at the office. Try it for a day or two and see how it goes. When your stapler and paper clip holder start talking to you take the rest of the day off and take a nap.

Speaking from personal exp, stay up. You will feel alot better than if you get only three hours of sleep. About 8am you will get that sleep deprived high and be gitty and full of life all day. Once you get home you crash and burn like the hindenburg. Trust me.

2-3 hours of sleep make me feel worse than no sleep at all. I do get a little weird about mid-day when I get my second wind(not like anyone notices "weird" on me :P). That next night I'm definately not going to be gaming though. I crash and burn around 8 pm.
Like some of the others have noted, if I'm feeling spunky, I'll go for it. If I'm already half asleep, I'll give it up for a little sleep I know my body needs.
This, of course, is my answer today. Had you asked me that about a year and a half ago when I was just getting really into the game hardcore my answer would have been "What's sleep?" I have a much better grip on my addiction now that I've suffered a bit from a lot of all nighters.
If I get those 3 hours of sleep....... I've got enough left in me to game the next night too.

Those be nothing. I've stayed up three days before...well, two and a half. I passed out on the third. Came home, saw my bed, and I remember falling into it, but not hitting it...
