Sleeping routine.

[PaulMacC]

Okay basically my sleeping pattern is weird so I've decided to stay up all night. Im going to collaspe soon as I am so tired but I know if I stay up for a while it'll go away. Anyway Im hoping to stay up to around 7pm so has anyone got any tips to help me stay awake until then, thank you =^.^=

Caffeine drinks, red bull, rockstar, relentless etc but coffee is also good, just keep very well hydrated as well.

If at a desk, try talking to people or tell them to kick you if you fall asleep and stand up every so often to walk around. Also don't slouch and keep upright but it mostly comes down to willpower so you've just got to keep trying to stay awake.

Try to keep your brain active, try doing some exercise :)

What you've gotta do Paul is if you're tired in the day, let yourself sleep but only for so long.

My sleeping pattern was mucked up by some personal problems and I wasn't ever getting to sleep before the sun came up, then would sleep all through the day which is unhealthy.

What I started doing was instead of sleeping through the day, i'd have like hour long naps through the day and force myself up after them.

This way you are getting sleep, however not enough of it so by the time it comes to 11, 12 at night, you want to go to sleep & you sleep properly.

For the last 3 nights i've been in bed at a more suitable time.

But if you want to try your staying awake thing, being on the computer won't help, you need to go out in the fresh air.

Wow, how hard is it? I've stayed awake for 2 and a half days just partying with friends, I don't see what the problem is.

Moving around a lot keeps me awake, when I tend to stay still for too long when i'm tired I often drift off to sleep.

[Wahey]

Go on a walk around town

Dont have too many energy drinks. If you have 3 in less than 20 minutes you'll feel sooo ill. And they make you fat :3

watch a really good film. keep ur tv on, that usually works

Was there any need in that attitude really?

[Geraint]

[kuzkasate]

Do some excercise and drink fizzy drinks/coffee. :P

[luce]

The chances are if he attempts to exercise he will get exhausted and fall asleep easier.



But i do agree keep your brain active play a game that doesn't get boring very easy. For example runescape or habbo are a terrible idea as they tend too get extremly boring.

Many people will say this, but it is true drink lots of water and don't sit / lie on a bed, sit on a wooden chair. At one time in my life i turned nocturnal it wasn't good, i started to sleep at about 9am then wake up at about 6pm, it was terrible i missed out on everyday and began to lose contact with my friends as they were not awake when i was, i strickly recommend that you get this sorted as soon as possible not just because its bad for your friendship and you lose out on all the day but it is extremly unhealthy and if your not getting enough sleep could lead you do die at an earlier age.

Don't worry mate you'll sort it, if you can't stay awake why not just go asleep at whatever time you do but set your alarm to wake you up 4 hours later or so, so then you will still be tired but will be able to last the day.



Best of Luck Mate,
I hope you sort it,
Richie.
