I love the idea of a full night of election drama - sitting up in front of the television, the BBC News live page updating on my laptop, slowly converting a mountain of snacks into a wasteland of empty wrappers and mainlining unseemly quantities of tea.
But we’re fighting biology here, fellow election-night crew.
So I’ve been chatting to sleep experts to come up with the definitive guide to getting through the night and not becoming a sleep-deprived monster the next day.
Labour chipper and Reform also on course to do wellpublished at 01:20 British Summer Time 5 July 2024

Political reporter, BBC CumbriaLabour activists are getting progressively more chipper as the night progresses, suggesting they are on course to win in Carlisle as the exit poll would suggest.
And there are whispers that Reform UK may be on course to do well here, even pushing the Conservatives for second place, though a Tory source has rejected this.
Liberal Democrat candidate Brian Wernham (below) said: "I think it’s going to be quite a large turnout in comparison to what we would have expected and those extra people have gone in and they've voted Reform.
"They are not voting for a local candidate; they’re voting for Nigel Farage."
Green candidate Gavin Hawkton (below) said it looked like an "obvious win for Julie Minns (the Labour candidate)" and that the Green campaign had been a "success".

Chris Wills, the Lib Dem candidate for Whitehaven, joked he wasn’t convinced it would be a Lib Dem landslide.
He said the exit polls were usually accurate and was expecting a Labour majority.
