for any of you university folk... this is the "i have to study all night" support thread!
i have a zillion hours left to do and its already 11:39 pm, so i decided to take a yellow jacket (aka: legal CRACK), washed down with an energy drink, and ill surely be up for many, many hours now.
what do you do to stay awake all night when you have to? |

| i downed 3 redbulls the night i studied for an orgo test... stopped becuase it was getting expencive. they didnt really work but i used willpower to stay up till 5am and wake up at 7am to study more for the 10 oclock class. i think i over studied becuase i woudl have done better if i had gotten more sleep for sure... i dotn think im really an allnighter kind of person. usualy works better if i sleep early and wake up at like 5-6am. some of my friends have taken caffene pills though. |

| Do what Einstein did when he had to work all night: 20 minute naps every 4 hours. Dont nap in bed, your more likely to fall asleep and stay asleep. Get on the couch or floor or something, set your alarm, and tell yourself you can only sleep for 20 minutes. You will usually fall asleep fast, and feel better after you wake up |

This is a trick I learned when I used to work selling hot dogs from a cart in downtown Vancouver. I remember those summer nights, when I'd stay up 24 hours playing a computer game or whatever, only to have work the next day...needed to do something to keep awake, and then I found out about this method, and voila!
anyways, if you start feeling sleepy, do the following :
- Take something COLD, like I mean COLD. Colder the better (a pop can that's been sitting inside a cooler full of ice is an excellent example. Ice Cubes wrapped in Siran Wrap are another good one).
- Place directly on your forehead. Roll it around.
TA-DA!
I don't know what it is, but doing this jolts you back awake, or rather, it stops you from feeling you have "heavy eyelids", which will eventually be your downfall. I guess it has something to do with the coldness of the object making the muscles above your eyes contract (colder the better ;)) but I'm not to sure. Whatever, it works, and it's worked for me for years. I'm so used to very little sleep, I haven't gotten an 8 hour nap in months.
Afterwards, to help keep awake, make sure you do something ACTIVE. Sitting and reading a book, listening to relaxing trance, or surfing the net (depending what you're doing) will cause you to be sleepy again.
If you don't believe me that this works, go and try it now (if you're mildly sleepy that is) and see the results for yourself. :)
Nocturnal people 4 life!

| few months ago I've read an article about how scientists have already developed a pill that lets you stay awake non stop for couple of days w/ no side affects. That the military has quite an interest in b/c it can make supersoldiers. Good news to ravers :D |
