    Go to the chemist and get some glucose poweder,mix some up and drink it.It'll give your brain a bit of a kick and will help you stay awake.

    Coffee or Coke. Get some caffine in to yourself.

    Caffeine. And lots of it.
    Apparrently apples work as well, I'm not sure how, but they do.

    Would lucozade do?Ive to walk to salthill and they no pharmacies on the way! :(

    neither are the most effective...
    glucose after the initial kick actually slows you down cause the body uses energy to break it down
    and caffine takes an hour to kick in before it induces the desired effects...
    get some vitimins or pharmaton coupled with a good strong coffee that will keep you motoring or else source some amphetamines

    eating a banana or two usually does the trick, it does the same at night if you cant sleep have a banana and it makes you tired but during the day it wakes you up

    Gives you the same amount of energy.

    M&Ms a handful to start then one every few minutes to maintain the sugar rush.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 888 ✭✭✭Merrick


    ^^ I find Skittles more effective there. LOTS of Skittles.

    Theres a chemist in the town of Salthill. Youll go past it if your doing exams in Galway Bay or Leisureland. Just walk in throught the town and its beside supermacs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,856 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Red Bull!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan


    chocolate and redbull

    more for energy, rather than staying awake i would have said.
    lots of potassium.

    Really cold water is great for waking you up. A 1L bottle should do it. For energy, skittles and coke ... I don't like suger, but the energy rush from the combination of the two is great!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 888 ✭✭✭Merrick


    To sum up the progress on this so far: Get yourself some of every caffein /glucose/sugar filled pills/sweets/drinks you can find, mix the lot together and consume in one go.
    Think about it, if you collapse or something, you'll have a great excuse for missing the exam, and more time to cram :D

    If we all press alt+0 together we may be able to awaken him.
    Ready 1... 2... 3... Alt+0

    Too late for him now, but the ideal is to go to sleep for a quarter of an hour (setting the mammy to wake you), then lash back a load of vitamin C.

    I made it to the exam anyway!What i went for in the end was a lucozade mixed with red bull!It blew my head!Im still buzzzing!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    I always found a good night's sleep backed up with a semi-reasonable amount of work throught the semester to work quite well. It's the unexpected approach, I'm sure, but surprisingly effective...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,794 ✭✭✭JC 2K3


    Tesco Kick is Red Bull for 69c a can :)

    Just thought I'd throw that out there.

    Had 4 cans once, funny... the comedown was awful though, was soooo tired. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,719 ✭✭✭Hal1


    Steroids? just kidding of course ;)
