    A single night of sleep deprivation won't affect your work performance too greatly. When I pull all nighters (twice a month or so) I'm usually good to go until around 6pm, at which point my brain simply shuts off and I start drooling. Depending on the time of your dinner date, I'd be tempted just to bang the paper out.

    Actually, I take that back. Turn the paper in on Thursday, or, hell, even next Monday. Just make sure it's appropriately superior for the delay.

    Usually takes 48 hours before I really feel the effects of staying up all night.

    Hand the paper in on Thursday. Trust me, your professor won't be losing any sleep over this.
