There are times in our lives when we must stay up all night. But we do it for various reasons. Most of those times are not in fact to 'get lucky.'

Sometimes, college students stay up all nite in order to study for an important exam. Other young people stay up all night to talk with their friends. The idea of 'getting lucky' doesn't cross their mind. Some people stay on the internet all night, browsing and chatting with friends or strangers.

Other people actually work at night. Janitors, overnight doctors, Wendy's employees are all people who must work at night to keep our society going.

Anxiety and stress keeps people awake. Without a quality night's sleep, people can lose years off their life. The idea of staying up and 'getting lucky' doesn't mean that a romance could last forever. Sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy also deter people from going to bed with the type of people who are up all night to get lucky.

Prostitution is an entire industry that has been built around people staying up all night in order to get lucky, except they are purchasing it. 'Getting lucky' does not guarantee happiness, or a fulfilling relationship. Most people will not stay up for it.

This vlogger also details excellent reasons why people would not be able to sleep. He seems very cool and down to Earth with many good observations about human nature and society, similar to 'VICE' on HBO.

Some people are homeless, they sleep under bridges, but they are actually awake under bridges because the ground is very uncomfortable. I wish every one could get at least 10 hours of sleep every night on a high-end mattress. However, most people cannot sleep that much because society has trapped them, and they have to wake up early to go to work.

The idea that people stay up all night to party, dancing and getting lucky is simply not true. I am tired of false stereotypes being celebrated in songs.

The truth is, people stay up all night for lots of reasons, and most of those reasons are not to get lucky.
