Best Methods to Stay Awake While Sleepy - Blu-ray Forum

JJ · 02-16-2009, 01:39 PM

So somehow I stayed awake all night, and today I have class from 1400 until 2100. Heck, I'm on campus right now, doing some studio work at UM's library...but I'm wide awake! I woke up yesterday at 2pm after a night out, but I just know it's going to hit me soon, I don't think I can hold out another 12 hours, miracles aside.

I'm not much of a caffeine person - Red Bull makes me sleepy, and I never drink coffee...any recommendations from you crazy people who've pulled allnighters playing video games, watching movies, or wasting time on the forums?

Someone recommended me one of those 5-Hour Energy Drink shots...

Going home to nap is not an option.

Mountain Dew can keep me up, lots of sugar etc in it

An open-handed slap to the face.

If you aren't used to drinking coffee that could really help. In college when I would stay up all night to study I'd brew a pot and drink the whole thing in about 2 hours. I'd be awake for hours after that. I later learned it was a better idea to study over time rather than cramming but that was after my freshman year.

Buy No Doze.

Crush capsules.

Snort results.

Repeat if necessary.

And if you get hooked, baby, it's nobody else's fault, so don't do it!

Pretty easy for me. All I had to do was splash some water on my face and than go outside in the frozen weather.

I spent a whole year doing all nighters during school. The things that kept me up where eating apples, drinking water, drinking coke, going for small walks, doing some pushups.

If you eat candy / energy you get a boost but than you end up crashing hard later on. It also helps if you can take a power nap.

JJ · 02-16-2009, 09:58 PM

So far, no crashing. A little sleepyness, but I'm about to enter my 3 hour lecture class...

9pm, helllooo bed. Then when I wake up, KURO TIME!!!!

Thanks chaps for all the help.

Do you go to medical school or work at a hospital?
