Ways to stay awake? - Page 2

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

Leshrac · 08-24-2002, 07:26 PM

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.

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...

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..
