Recently, I dunno if it's because I have started new job working longer hours full time and its making me tired or what but I can't keep my eyes open, nearly falling asleep. I just have to keep fighting my eyelids. when i read books or anything i start to fall asleep!


Any suggestions to keep me awake/eyes open?

I have tried a cup of tea full of sugar! :o
 
i dont drink coffee....might give it a go...

havnt got access to any red bull dammit! might have to send someone at lunch to get some :p
 
Do you drink lots of tea? That's got loads of caffeine in it. Too much of that during the day and you won't be able to rest properly when you're in bed asleep.

Stick to one or 2 cups a day tops, drink water the rest of the time. Tea/coffee can perk you up initially but it takes its toll later on.

It could just be this time of year mate. I always feel really lethargic in the winter. Dark when I get up and dark when I go home from work.
 
pfft you wanna do it properly

very effective at keeping you buzzing - especially if you snort it:D

if you dont want the jitters and you're feeling rich:

they're good i can tell you :D, take one about 10am, keeps you alert all day so when it wears off about 10pm you're nice and tired :)

edit - i really recommend those venom things, i cant think of a better legal way to feel good :D alertness, clearer thought paths, small euphoria waves, energy - get em bought :D

For Some Reason I always find "A Nice Cold Can Of Diet Coke" Picks me right up, whenever I need to stay up I grab one :confused:
 
Ok right, got a can of redbull now! yay!

1. I eat healthy food (fruit all day) with the odd exception.
2. I usually eat good potions
3. I rarely Exercise, leaving me restless with energy at night and also tired in the day.
4. I have to play at a gig tonight, will a redbull keep me going all day/night? +Beer! ;)

Oh and maximum 2 cups of tea a day anyway

I would say beer is likely to make you zonk out...

i find the caffeine+alcohol buzz fantastic - if short lived. not sure if redbull will work i was using caffeine powder but it was certainly enjoyable
 
man im so awake now, warm sausage roll smuthered in ketchup + Redbull = me high as a kite! lol cheers guys!

Though i need to last the day + gig i am playing at tonight :(
 
Avoid caffeine and alcohol at all costs, simply drink lots of water and try and do 30 minutes exersize a day. That'll do it.
 
lol, had exactly the same problem a while back -too much sex ;)

Seriously, the only thing you can and should do is get more sleep- unless of course you are falling to sleep cos of sheer boredom in your job.

I would think taking caffeine etc. is not a good thing to do.
