    When I lived in Hong Kong I went out in Macau (casinos, restaurant, club, the whole shebang) and got the ferry back at 5am and went out in LKF in HK Central afterwards, continuing the night.

    Finally got back to my accommodation around 7:30 and hit the sack around 8 or so. Slept until 5 in the afternoon. Not that bad considering it was busy all-nighter and only a 7 hour sleep, but still lost a day too it.

    Fecked up my sleep pattern a great deal too...

    Paddy's Day all day session 2012.

    Started boozin' at 12:30pm, nightclub until 2:30 am, house party until 7am, phone rang then, boss wanted me in work and me in my drunken haze decided I was fine to go in (still in my going out clothes). Finished at 4pm, fell into bed and woke the next day at 5pm. I hadn't a clue what day it was and it took a text from a co worker to make me realise I had went to work the previous day.

    slept til 10.30 today, which is late for me. got to bed around 3 but wasn't drinking heavily, started early though and had a good two hours of rehydration before I put the head down. Starting to notice some people in my company not able for their beer a lot more lately though, three pints and they're mashed by 11. We're gettin old

    After my first time in oxygen a couple of years back I slept til about 12pm Tuesday.

    Bear in mind I lived in Kildare at the time, so was home by about 1pm, and in bed at 2 so about 22 hrs sleep.

    It wasn't after a night out, but one Friday evening I decided to go for a power nap before heading out. It was 6:30pm, planned to doze for an hour. Woke up at midday the next day and have no idea why.

    I'd say it was because you were tired.

    Aye, but I'd had a full nights sleep the night before - was a bit of a shock checking the time when I woke up!

    I remember after the Champions League final in 2012, went to bed around five am, woke up at half past four in the afternoon, went out for a McDonalds and was back asleep for the night around 9pm.

    Home for a break from Uni where I partied hard. Slept for 36 hours straight, my Mother was afraid I'd leukaemia or something terminal but it was just down to being very naughty.

    7am. For some reason I wake up at stupid o'clock when I've been out drinking.

    There's a biological reason for this, basically alcohol is a sedative and your body will always try and maintain a consistent state (called homeostasis) so will counteract the sedating affect of alcohol with it's own (endogenous) stimulants in order to keep the body in balance, problem being there is a lag in the release of these stimulants so as the effect of the alcohol wears off, the stimulants your body has released are still floating around in your bloodstream hours later and wake you up.
