Ok I Shadowhound have taken up a challenge that i cannot stay awake for 87 straight hours, for no reason other to prove i can (all the guys out there know what i am talking about, all women think i am a wanker now).

So far stayed awake 45 hours, need another 42... Need advice on how to stay awake. Am already having caffine and sugar rushes when down to desperate. Hot and cold showers have done good. Having a younger brother around the house has finally proved to be a good thing.

Please do not bother telling me how stupid this is. I knew it was stupid when i started and know i can feel why it is stupid.

Hahaha, just keep yourself busy and keep up the coffee =)Don't do anything where you're sitting down, you'll fall asleep! hahaha good luck! =)

Good for you, beat that sleepiness! I often find that when I'm doing something that really involves me and I enjoy, I lose track of time very easily. Many's the time I've not slept one night because of a game or a person talking to me whose company I enjoy...know what I mean? Basically, find something to do! How are you proving that you can stay awake all that time though? are there people there? If so, argue with them, lol.

Tickle the roof of your mouth with your tounge, if you get really tired. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Bristowe - Such as sitting at the computer like i am know?

Mojo - I reckon one look at my face they will be able to tell how long i have gone to sleep. It is not really about proving it to them now i am doing it to know that i can do it.

Jerome - Hey that is pretty good. Will make much use of it. Or even better, get someone else to tickle the roof of your mouth with their tongue.

If you are needing to stay awake for a little it longer, I find holding my breath for as long as possible will get the adreniline flowing.

:D

LOL! Contact some friends with a babe and ask to babysit it! :D About the coffe, only two cups or there will be no effect...

Go outside and take a short walk.
Put some headphones on and blast some of your favorite music.

Never tried staying up that long, I'm not sure if anything will work, but good luck.

Try Shaveing your Pubic hair with a cut throat razor.

In theory, there is nothing you have to do to stay awake. In fact, there is one thing you must NOT do, which is falling asleep. Instead of focussing on staying awake, focus on not falling asleep. Of course, the best way to do that is by not thinking about sleeping. So, grab a bag of chips, open a bottle of coke and try building a really high house of cards. When you get bored, flip the cards to face the other way instead ;)

When I *really* ned to stay up, I find that a longish walk (say, to the nearest shop to get a gallon of coke) works wonders. Plus, since im in scotland I get the benefits of an icy-cold shower as well.

How to stay awake? I have one word for you my friend: Ginseng
:D

i have a couple ways...

1.watch a REALLY scary movie
2.if you feel you're about to fall asleep, drop and ice cube down your shirt.
3.if somebody is having a loud party, go to it... which gives me an idea...
4.LOUD MUSIC!!!
5.dry jogging around for a bit, excercise helps you stay awake, but don't ware yourself out or you'll get tired, just do it enough to keep your eyes open.
6.um... can't think of anything else... SLAP YOURSELF IN THE FACE!!!

these are my ideas on how to stay awake, they should help you out.

sit down with a really good computer game or book and don't stop playing it or using it untill your done with it then start up another i tend to stay up till the wee hours of the morning doing this untill i force myself to go to sleep. But thats just my suggestion.

Pablo's wonder powder. :D

I am not sure shadowhound is awake to read it, but I'd suggest not playing computer games all the while. If something does go wrong we don't want the gamesbuiz to be blamed again. Hey, there's an idea! Eat loads of vegetables to stay awake...

Thnx for the help all

Dizzy- Holding breath works quite well thnx
WilliowIX - i am sure the baby-sitting one would work, but i am not that desperate
Dresdan - Music has been going constantly for a while... recently went for nice long walk in freezing cold rain, feel rather refreshed
Dramneck_Ulk - Err, right...
Legolas - if you could see the pile of empty coke bottles..

How long's that now? At 2:00am GMT...

53 hours down, 34 to go

How did you come to decide on 87 hours??
Anything special about 87 of em?? :confused:

Nope, no reason
