If you've been playing for that long and playing well, then yes, it should -- because you'll likely have significantly more territory, cities, units and diplomatic relations to manage than you did when you started.
But if you're anything like me after an all-nighter, your brain will also be significantly less capable of complex thinking...

I can't do all-nighters anymore, myself. Wish I could, not much time for C3C these days, especially as I just moved cross-country.

I often fall asleep while micromanaging after 11 p.m., take a little nap and then it's "just a few more turns" between 12 am and 1 am.

... and than, after the nap, there is the question what was the great strategic plan for your game before the nap.I often fall asleep while micromanaging after 11 p.m., take a little nap and then it's "just a few more turns" between 12 am and 1 am.

Just do one more turn and then go to bed.
Civilization III: Easter Eggs - CivFanatics
Easter Eggs are "bonus" stuff hidden in the game for players to find. They are often for entertainment purposes or contain a reference to something. This page lists all the known Civ3 easter eggs. As you can see below, Civ3 has more than 30 of them! Note that all the known easter eggs were added

Sleep is for the weak! I guess most people get weaker as they get older.

When turns take 30 + minutes to play, easier to go to bed than if they are just another 5 minutes and some objective is in reach.....
Well, the sane thing to do is to go to bed and avoid the late caffeine intake. Humans do need sleep. We are all going to die eventually, but the lack of (good) sleep can expedite the process significantly.

Spoil-sport. Using good sense and reason, hmph.
Edit (again for clarification):
Btw, do you know the equation for awake hours when sleeping less vs living longer?

It may not be that easy. But the gist of it is probable that any time "gained" by (self imposed) sleep deprivation will need to be paid back with significant interest. You will loose both quality and quantity of life. There is a reason why sleep exists in most animals despite the apparent disadvantages. A healthy sleep routine will benefit your ability to play Civ3.

That was mostly meant with humor, but I appreciate your interest in sleep.It may not be that easy.

My theory for the need of sleep revolves around the working brain leaving a lot of 'junk bits' in its network (such as between synapses and receptors). During sleep, the brain plays janitor to clean these bits as well as allow greater physical restoration in general. The big weakness in my theory: it doesn't account for the different stages of sleep very well, esp. dreaming.
IDK, is this now officially off-topic?
