Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Cory Booker needs to get some sleep.

The popular Democratic lawmaker pulled an all-nighter at the office on Sunday night to work on the city's strategic plan for the coming month. A prolific Tweeter, Booker shared the long night, hour-by-hour, with his million-plus Twitter followers. He even wrote a ditty about not going to bed.

The 41 year-old mayor loaded up on caffeine and he had some good music to see him through: Booker wrote that he had discovered the free internet radio site Pandora, so he jammed to the sounds of Sly and the Family Stone and Aretha Franklin.

No word on how his 9 a.m. meeting went, but here are a few choice @CoryBooker tweets:

"I'm fully caffeinated (sleep take a number) & working on strategic plan 4 the month ahead. I discovered Pandora so I am jamming as I work."
