Yes, I remember an "all-nighter" with a friend in the city.  We would up at
McDonalds in the morning, and we were sitting there eating our breakfast,
guessing whether the patron was "Saturday night" or "Sunday morning".  Those
that looked hung over, wasted, obviously remnents of Saturday night.  The older
lady with a McMuffin, probably Sunday morning.  Somehow breakfast had been
plastered all over the glass windows facing the city street.
