I know its not far away from each other but I was thinking about when the trains actually stopped running around midnight, as I heard shinjuku never sleeps with everything staying open...
Can anybody confirm what Shibuya is like at night in comparison?

If money is no issue there are taxis way into the night, and depending where you can walk between Shibuya and Shinjuku in under an hour through all main roads so if you are planning to stay out all night and worried about getting back to your hotel, it is not too much of a concern.
A quick look over at hyperdia suggests that trains run till around midnight 1am ish then restart at 4am ish. I would imagine you could kill that time by going to a 24hour food place then for a walk around if you wanted?
All of central Tokyo tourist areas have that never-sleep feel as conbini stores stay open 24/7 and the neon glares through the night. I don't really know much about how late bars and such stay open though. Many times though I would get up at 7am and on my way to the station see drunks wandering the streets home, so they must have found somewhere to party all night!
I'd guess you want to get up and do things in the morning, so you won't be staying out super late all night everynight, so don't plan your entire holiday around the logistics of those situations.
