I've yet to actually have a hard drive crash - I don't even want to picture what my reaction would be right now given how buzzed up on coffee I am. I always make up a special coffee mixture when I'm planning an all-night paper marathon - 3 spoonfuls of instant coffee, one hot chocolate package, one spoonful of sugar, hot water and milk all mixed in a travel mug. Needless to say, sleeping is essentially impossible for about 24 hours after consumption.

Update: 6:37am, 10.5 pages done, 4.5 pages to go, 1.5 hours left. It's gonna be tight.
