As none of us are getting any younger i have noticed recently at various allnighter's that the numbers seem to start thinning out around 5.30 - 6.00am , So what do you think should be the ideal finishing time for an allnighter ? Are the day's of allnighter's finishing at 8am just too much for us all or are some off us just feeling the pace? friday night's seem to suffer more , is this due to people having to work or saving themselves for saturday's ?

For me 6am is about right but saying that whats a couple of extra hours when you already been up all night, if the music is top notch why would you want to leave,

i agree but even at some of the big events people start to drift around this time, this must be very frustrating for d.j's who are doing the last spot .

It's the people treating them as extended soul nites, probably. Niters starting at 8- 10-11pm, folk go 'til 2 or 3 ish, had a good nite, got pissed etc, go home! Bring back the niter starting at 12 I say!

i'd agree with that

that is the best way then you can get a few hours kip in beforehand where an ealier starting night you want to get the early and its harder to stay awake all night until the very early hours unless yuo drink lots and lots of red bull

midnight start for a nighter has to be the way

Middleton starts at 8 30 pm people are still arriveing at 4 am,we cant get them out at 7 30am and our crowd is from every part of the uk,and im talking 500 plus.If the venue delivers they will stay.

I prefer allnighters on a Friday, gives me two days to recover which seems to be a requirement for me these days

Could it be that when we were a bit younger we had a few more diet suppresers ?

Just a thought!!

I'd prefer niters to start later, say 10 or 11ish. I can never get anywhere before 10.30, especially if travelling long distances and i always miss the earlier spots

I tend to dance a lot, always have, but these days i've had it by 6.00, unless i pace myself. I would never leave until the end though, unless i had some reason to get up early on Sunday. After the last Middleton i had to drive down to Cheltenham for 12 noon the next day and have dinner with friends down there, to say i was knackered was an understatement

Also at Middleton i was so knackered after five hours of dancing i couldn't raise myself for John Weston's spot which was a shame 'cos i thought it was the best of the night. Like i say i need to pace myself, dance less to Soul Sam next time maybe

Me too, that's why i loved The Dome. Yes i know it was a soul night, but it went on til 3 and by the time i got hope it was 5am, so in effect a mini-niter for me. Recover Saturday and Sunday (unless i went somewhere else on Saturday) That was perfect.

Got to admit I havent done an all nighter for many a year now-you mean people don't do the diet suppressers No wonder they find it hard going & leave early

Think I'll stick to the 2am finish then .
