you could drink redbull (lots will make you cheerful lol) or take some pro-plus.

In the UK, and I have heard that it is very effective.

the nights just slipped away from me and when ive finally got myself sorted, around 10.30ish i didnt see the point as it would make me feel more tired, im just concerned it ll hit me like a brick wall at 3/4am so was wondering if there were any foods/drinks that could keep me going?

Take ****

(Stared out as I'll probably get banned for it

)

You seriously should have slept between 6pm and 1am though

Hindsight eh?

invest in a pair of these glasses like this girl did:

keep your head up though

Take some pro plus.
Wonderful stuff.

I do entire uni assignments in one (15 hour) sitting with pro plus, and will still be fine the next day.

Fruit will help more than caffiene. The sugars in it are better for you and more of an energy boost.

Fruit and Pro Plus Then? thanks for the advice

Yep.

Also, keep a window open, the cold will keep you more awake. Go for walks every now and then, too.

yes that is reccommended. if you get too warm your body gets comfortable and you will get sleepy. the colder you are the more you have keep moving therfore you will stay awake and work better. though i do suggest you dont decide to go over the top and sit in a freezer coz that would be pointless

andy@moFo · 20 Dec 2006 at 00:17

lol ill be working in a freezer for about 7hours with regular trips outside into the wharehouse backyard! 45mins to go

EDIT: 43MINS !!!

Pure caffeine > pro plus, especially when insufflated

It's cheap as chips as well, 100g for £3 from myprotein.co.uk

andy@moFo · 20 Dec 2006 at 08:29

Im back! 5 cans of redbull and 4 tablets or pro plus later, dont think i need to sleep ever again

Bet you’re 'off your nut' with that concoction hehe.
