Mnemonic

If you stay up so long that you see the moon go down and the dawn come, people will say you have serious guts. It takes guts to stay up that late. More specifically, it takes a powerful gallbladder. Your gallbladder is sensitive to sleep changes, you know, so you risk a lot by staying up like that.
