This always works for me....under no circumstances, no matter what happens, just do not what ever you do...fall asleep. Thats how I stay awake [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Also, resist the temptation to rest your head on your hand, or close your eyes for one...two...a couple of seconds and most importantly of all DO NOT LIE DOWN ON A COMFORTABLE OBJECT (like beds and couches) your concentration will be gone from that point onwards :D

Take an occasional break and do some work-outs. If that doesn't keep you awake, at least it keeps you in shape ;)

Ask Pamela Sue Anderson to stop by and walk around nekkid. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

She has been doing that for 3 hours it aint helping anymore.... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

eat choclate or go take a walk outside. the fresh air should keep you awake for a few minutes. if that doesnt work, electricute yourself every 10 minutes :D

ROFL

Banana's give you energy so eat some of those. also, set an alarm for 20 min and have a nap. you'll feel better when you wake, and you can allways just not :D

And eat honey if you have it. It gives you a lot of energy. Or make a English tea wich is very "strong"!

I know exactly how to stay awake, for 2 days at least. But it's illegal, and could get you arrested, so forget about it. :D

hmm. not a good idea

I got a better idea, instead of drinking coffee.

How about spilling coffee all over yourself that'll wake you up for sure ;) .

Hey I'm just helping.

Or go play soccer. Go take a shower. It is very refreshing.

Then explain to me why i always fall asleep in the bathtub. :D

Maybe becuase the water is not cold enough. Or you are bathing with candels,soft music...you know the usual. Like in the TV movies. Then you fall a sleep

No, i always take a book with me.

Personally I don´t like excessive caffeine intake since it messes with my stomach.

I can, however, come with some hints: Firstly besure you are constantly doing something. Sitting still too long might also make you doze off. Get up and do some push-ups now and then.

Water is good. Certainly imbibed, but also for exterior uses. A shower is very refreshing, and simply giving your face a splash will have a great effect.

If you have to drink coffee/cola/energy drinks space it out. Chugging away will only make your body tired of the caffeine/sugar rush.

Munchies are good for distracting the body however.

because you dont want to? if i were you i'd get some sleep, its not good for you not to sleep. why do you think it is so hard to resist :D

i'd personaly go for 12hrs a night if i can get it. i think my record is a straight 13 :D . so i got up at like 1pm and went to bed at 10.

definatly give sleep a chance :D

The wee hours of the morning are almost impossible to be productive in. Your body actually slows down physically. Your body temp at 3-4 in the morning is actually lower than usual. Your body pushes for sleep during this time and nothing short of stress horomones or presciption drugs will counteract it. The best thing to do is sleep for for a few hours. Wake up, shower, have some tea/coffee, and get back to work.

Here is a list of suggestions for you:

I used to take amphetamines (speed). I don't recommend it. Keeps you awake alright, but completely messes you up at the same time. Just say no.

No

I know exactly what you mean. Heart pumping like it wants to jump out of your chest, i'll never touch that crap again.

Gee, if you want help staying awake, ask a truck driver, like me fer instance.
We are known for being awake when we have to be.

First off, know that your body needs sleep. If you have to, do it. An hour is a good "power nap".

Now if there is something you have to stay awake for, this is what I did to make the hours go by:

chew bubble gum.

Yep, you heard it here. Bubble gum keeps your jaws going and keeps you more alert.

Now what doesn't work?
Drugs of any sort - meaning caffeine. Why? Because when they wear off you are Oh SO MUCH worse off than you were before. It sucks. The effect doesn't last long and then you crash.

Drinking lots of liquid. Why? Because it just makes you want to go to the bathroom, which gives you exercise, but won't keep you awake if you are sleepy.

A couple of other things that will keep you awake:

Talking to someone (that is why CBs work so well)

Listening to an engrossing story (I stayed awake for hours listening to talking books just to see how it would turn out, but I chewed gum as well)

Eating - yeah the munchies keep you awake. Whatever will keep your jaw moving, and your face flexing, will keep you awake.

Again, don't do these things unless you have a reason. If you don't have a real good reason for staying awake, sleep by all means. Lack of sleep can make you psychotic. No lie. Trust me on this one.

Whats wrong with coffee Johnny???

The talking thing really works. Nothing like trying not to get sleepy on a long drive when everyone else is asleep!

Reminds me of some of the muso tricks for staying awake when you have a long drive ahead. Like drinking so much you need to pee, but holding on as long as possible. Very hard to fall asleep.

Or if you have long hair, wind the window up on it so that it's just tight - won't stop you nodding off, but the instant you start to, it yanks, hurts and wakes you up.

The best one I found though, was running fast around the car 10 times whenever sleepiness was approaching.

Whats wrong with coffee Johnny??? </font>[/QUOTE]Nothing, it just doesn't work all that well. :D
