The right food is something I agree with. No big roasts or KFC before a long night

Not sure about Mountain Dew. Fanta, though, will keep me up and running until the cows come home. When I used to work at Macca's my mum tried to convince the managers that I should be banned from drinking it. She would pick me up at midnight and my eyes would be pinging out of my head and my mouth going flat stick

this is brilliant! I think it applies to more that just the oldies!
I'm lucky enough that I don't have heaps of imaging gear or a giant scope, so it takes two minutes to get Harold and my eps set up in the backyard. This also means I can head inside whenever I want, but that normally ends with me on toddler duty if Olivia wakes up. Plus we leave the hallway light on for the kids so there goes my night adaption.
The latest I've managed so far is midnight, with intermittent "when are you coming to bed?"s and the earliest was 3.30am. It's quite a pain because all the good stuff seems to be either just after dusk or a few hours before dawn.
