All Nighters

[Daltron]

I do all nighters all the time if I am not done with tutorial readings for class the next day which had light assessment weighting. I take these pills (completely legal, can buy them over the counter) called nodoz and they keep me awake 20-40 hours..

If there's someone else who could do an all nighter with you the two of you are more likely to stay awake just because the other can wake you up if you fall asleep.

Hey,

Not sure where to place this, so I guess under health and life would do.

Tonight has been the first time I've not slept through the night. Got work in a couple of hours, So I need tips on how to stay awake. I had a nap yday from 2-6 so I don't feel rubbish, yet.

Cheers!

I know it's a bit late to answer to this thread, but in the morning, an apple is more effective than coffee when you want to wake up.

so is a slap to the face

Finding fresh air, i.e car window, a fan etc. Walking about as much as possible and ensuring you don't allow your mind to wonder into oblivion.

You should be okay to last this amount of time without proper sleep. Good luck

Energy drinks.

Coffee and Red Bull. I had quite a few at Uni, they suck. The only good thing about them is how well you sleep after!

Oh and I sometimes went out for a quick smoke in the fresh air. Although, I'm not advocating smoking, but you could go out and stretch your legs a bit.

Edit: woops just realized I may be a bit too late! Hope it went well .

coffee has always worked for me, but i always feel a bit crazy and cant concentrate if i dont sleep at all

Talking would be the best thing, skype or typing because I doubt you have people with you. When I did an all nighter at a sleepover, when we stopped talking, I feel alseep more or less straight away.

it's a shame that the good eugeroics are prescription only. Modafinil is meant to be like caffeine but without the crappy side effects
