Is staying up late at night coding bad?
As the question says is staying up a bad thing? Do you think there can serious health issues to staying up coding? Have any of you guys had any trouble staying up?

Getting less sleep than your body requires is a health issue regardless of what you're doing while staying up.
Some people are more focused later at night (fewer distractions).

I'm normally up until 5 (am) most of the time, and I'm awake again at around 6-8 hours later. It's not bad for you as long as you get the required amount of sleep.

Technically yes I suppose, but if deadlines are coming up then it's irrelevant. All-nighters are rites of passage for programmers.
As I program a lot of games. At night, i feel it's better to stay up late, as i find less distractions and there is nothing good on t.v. :(
But sometimes it mucks up my body clock. Like, when i need to be up the next day at say 8:00AM . I won't be able to sleep because i am used to getting up at 1:00PM
So i suppose it's how well you adapt.

As long as you get 6-8 hours of sleep its fine. More than 8 hours is actaully unhealthy.
