Staying awake

Caffeine is evil stuff, I try to avoid it whenever possible.

this man speaks the truth - I never knew it was caffeine causing this til I had a quick google

in all fairness its done a damn good job keeping me awake - just waiting for it to wear off, shouldn't be long hopefully

you been watching lazytown?

(UK fansite in progress - http://lazytown.blighter.net)

Anyway,

I sleep for 4-6 hours on average cos i have way to much stuff to do

as people have said, light meals, i never have breakfast, eat lunch about 10:30 then second lunch at 1pm, followed by crisps/chocolate at 3pm. then i have a medium-large dinner around 7pm followed by a midnight feast at 1am (just had it - 100g of sugar coated cola bottles and 2 pepsi's) then sleep around 2-4am
i wake up between 6am and 10am on weekdays, 6:30am weekends.

and remember - No Ones Lazy in LazyTown
/*starts singing*

EDIT: Yes, i'm obsessed with LazyTown
EDIT: I never ever have caffeine unless in soft drinks

How would you know unless you try?

Although at first sip I doubt you will like it, as it is kinda bitter. It is a taste that you will like more the more you drink. If it is your first drink then cheat a bit and get a Mocha or something, which is basically chocolate flavoured coffee.

Rocket Fuel Coffee 4TW!

http://www.rocketfuel.uk.com/

A cup of that with 1 sugar and an empty stomach = You bouncing off the walls for 2 hours.

I usually have a cup for those early moring after lectures.

Another here who has never drunk coffee. Well I tried it once and didn't like it so I just avoid it.

Red bull doesn't keep me awake, I've had 3 or 4 cans before in an evening and shaking a bit from it, and nearly dropping off. The only way I found is to keep hydrated by drinking water, and keep having snacks, and moving round.

pffft try 22 cans of red bull in 5 hours

actually dont - its not very pleasant the next day once the "OMG EVERYTHING SOUNDS REALLY WIERD" coolness wears off

how much is in proplus, i have had 6 at a time with little effect. Is this cocaine stuff sooo much stronger?

Chandler_90 · 13 Nov 2006 at 11:53

Last year I stayed up for 38 hours finishing off my hnc..

Plenty of coffee.. determination and about 5 - 7 dvds to keep myself from dozing off..

Eat only small amounts too.. if you eat loads you will fall asleep!

Could try playing really loud music for hours through headphones.. so you can't fall asleep..

Efour · 13 Nov 2006 at 11:56

How can people never have drunk coffee?? lol

wash your face often works for me, drink lots of water or coffee if you are old enough?

pro plus is about 50mg each but its the fact i was snorting it

that made it so effectinve

so you'd have to take about 30 tablets to be like i was

i dont mind though - tis all good now

I have to say, your post made me feel very...old

I'm 32 and just could not imagine going to a club for that long. I'm usually tucked in bed by 11 PM most nights

Have a good time?

Zip · 13 Nov 2006 at 14:01

Dont drink lots of coffee :eek:

It will make you wee lots and you will get dehydrated and feel like ****

There will be a good chance of it making your arse into a blaster every 10 minutes

had a fantastic time

7am on saturday to 3am today with no proper sleep :eek:

i usually cant stay awake after midnight so thats why i went a bit overboard with the caffeine i reckon

Marakith · 13 Nov 2006 at 15:39

I do voluntary work on top of my normal job which means I often have to go and do overnight shifts after work from 10pm to 8am.

Small sips of caffeine keep me going - too much at once and you crash too soon. I don't recommend taking half a gram to start with.

Also - a trick that works wonders is brushing your teeth when you get tired. For some reason, your brain associates this with your morning routine and you feel ready for the day again!

If you can get a shower in as well, that's pretty nice. Give yourself a blast of cold to sort yourself out.

Good luck!!

Edit: Just realised that you've just done it. Never mind, eh?
Glad you had a good time!!
