Usually. Last one I went to involved playing Guitar Hero for 12 hours at high volumes with a projector until the group of the 8 of us all collectively fell over and slept for 9 hours in a big, meaty pile. It was awesome.
The next one I go to will be all night... followed by driving to the local paintball arena first thing in the morning and shooting the balls out of each other. It'll own. Paintballing in a half-asleep daze.

At least your pain will be less.... or you hope ;)
Normally during a 48 hour LAN Party, I sleep 2-6 hours in total.

Crazy. The longest LAN I've had was 24 hours and that was pretty intense (I am STILL finding bottles of bawls in my house a year later). Mostly I do 12's (all night) after a good day's worth of work so I'm real tired afterwords, and I sleep all day. I've managed to stay awake ONCE after a 12hr.

I slept til about 10AM. I'll be good to until the LAN dies down.... which is normally around 3-4 AM. This LAN starts Friday night and goes til Sunday Afternoon. It's not fun during summer since 80 computers generate a fair bit of heat.

Every year for my birthday I have 8-9 friends over and we pull an all night LAN party (4PM-Next Day). I love all nighters! Though right around 8 AM you begin to feel pretty groggy (at least me and my friends do).
This year'll be the best because two of my friends got new computers, one got a 32" 720p TV that he'll bring over, I got a new monitor and (by then) will have all of my major PC upgrades, and we have Halo 3 this time! 2005 was Halo 2, 2006 was Oblivion (all of us made insane characters), 2007 was Day of Defeat/UT2004 and this year will be Crysis/UTIII/Halo 3.
Good luck at your LAN party!

Yeah some friends of mine organize a 72 hour lan party that has become quite popular. They have CS, BF2, and a Console or two for people who are tired.

My friends have LAN parties a lot (at least once a month) but normally they all just small one-day casual LAN's. And then several times a year we have huge 4-5 day LANs at multiple houses. By the end we are all dead. The next one is during spring break. Should be a good time.
