How do you stay awake for longer

cHaTbOx

I find that drinking lots of water keeps me wide awake for a very very long time:D(I hate wasting tme sleeping,that doesnt mean I enjoy time peeing:rolleyes:)

But I also find drinking coffee does to some extent( until you start getting the jittery)

How do you keep yourself awake for an extremely long time?

For example I wanted to watch the ricky hatton fight a couple of months back so I had to keep myself awake (until 4 when it said 2:rolleyes:)

And you're right my body does need sleep

Yeah wtf?

To keep yourself awake: Pro Plus. They're available in any chemist, no prescription needed and they do a very good job. Don't take too many or you'll get the runs though.

Coke (the drink) is another good one.

At the moment I'm drinking tea and it seems to keep me up too.

Sod'o swords

Sleeping in the next morning.

Some people are just nocturnal by nature, me being one of them I can easily stay up.. That said, I can easily go to sleep after having lots of coffee.

Gavin "shels"

Play Football Manager 2007 (2008 is poo), and everytime the thought of sleep arises I say to myself "Just one more game Gavin".:pac:

Your body eventually needs sleep but a key ingredient to staying awake is your heart rate. You can bring it up with coffee for example.

You also need to keep yourself stimulated. If you keep looking at the same old everything (anyone drive down a US Interstate lately? You know what Im talking about) you will eventually become fatigued. If you feel yourself get drowsy get up and do something different for about 15 minutes.

Pot of tea and something that demands your attention and will stimulate you as Overheal said. Computer games are perfect for this - this is why so many of us here are computer games players I'm sure

To stay awake- I usually have to have lively music playing, and be filled with Red Bull. Also, for some reason, eating babybel helps.

Keeping your mind active, along with coffee. Coffee never fails me.

MementoMori

Caffeine for me

that or speed :D:D

trout

no need for artificial stimulants ... wondering about the mortgage, shopping, bills, health, lamenting for the future, thinking fondly of times past ... it's a wonder I can ever get to sleep

MementoMori

I don't think its technically possible to lament for the future.

Your life sounds swell

For me it's good (ie. ancient.....) music and guitar.

I could just start jamming along to some cream or zeppelin, leads to crazy improvisation, and suddenly it's 4.am .

bopping around to cheesy songs and stuff from musicals keeps me up

Consider yourself at home.
Consider yourself one of the family.
We've taken to you so strong.
It's clear we're going to get along.
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourslef par to the furniture.
There isn't a lot to spare.
Who cares?..What ever we've goin we share!

If it should chance to be
We should see
Some harder days
Empty larder days
Why grouse?
Alsyas a-chance we'll meet
Somebody
To foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house!
Consider yourself our mate.
We do't want to have no fuss,
For after some consideration, we can state...
Consider yourself
One of us!

Aisling(",)

seems only apt considering the forum

Tonight, tonight,
Won't be just any night
Tonight there will be no morning star.
Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight.
And for us, stars will stop where they are.
Today
The minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
And still the sky is light . . .
Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!

If I'm with someone interesting, I can pull an all nighter. (Wait a minute! Now I didn't mean what you think I said! That's an innocent expression over here!)
