nip to the shop and buy a can of red bull and a pack of skittles. throw the skittles into the red bull, ulp it back it will buzz you up for a few hours ;-)

Miss Fluff

LOL

can't unfortunately, my Director sits right behind me although surely the way my head keeps crashing into my keyboard every time I nod off must be giving it away

I just got up and went to the shops as I was just about to fall asleep. Told everyone I'd get some choc biscuits so I'd have something with a cup of tea.:p

go for a break, coffee, water, fruit.

A spoon full of coffee will do the trick as well.

I used to work nights and used to be very quite but one night I just couldn't stay awake.Even though I had about 5 cups of coffee I dozed off. All I remember is that as I lay with my head on the keyboard the security guard put his hand on on my shoulder and by jaysus that I wake up and feel alert! Got a good 2 hrs in though!! God I hated night work.

Nimrod's Son

Get into an arguement on Boards. That'll eat up some time and keep ya alert. :v:

im absolutely wrecked too cant wait for work to be over......falling asleep here behind the wheel of my 40foot artic, so had to go on the internet on my laptop while i drove to help keep me awake :eek:

Funkstard

/\er.....there's several things I'd like to know how you managed to do to 'go on the internet' whilst driving a big lorry!

Falling asleep is the best...I have the technique for getting a few minutes in without the teacher seeing in school down to a 'T'

dundalk cailin

i only work as a waitress, so there's no chance of 'falling asleep' on the job, but i do find myself noddin off in class sometimes, esp fri mornings after thu nights :eek:

Piste

My head keeps falling forward in class these days. Thank God a lot of my teachers dont seem to mind as they know I can pay attention even when I have my head on the table and my eyes closed...

dundalk cailin

i sat behind a girl in english, leaving cert class, who, without exceptionm proceeded to sllep thru every class we had..she sat at the front and the teacher never passed any remarks :eek:

/me wonders why that girl ended up repeatin LC at the Institute, and still didnt obtain required points???

Rhyme

Have come close in one or two of my lectures this year... hard to concentrate when the room is dim and warm and the lecturers voice is low...

ZZzzzz

dundalk cailin

Notice the IF there

and anyway,you can be forgiven in college when you have a load of boring lectures in a row,all abstract, useless topics to boot

Can you not engage in some mischief at work? should keep you awake.

Pro plus you say interesting, will look into that considering got exams comin up.
Them and luzocade would keep ye going

I'd Bet anyway

Caffeine is fine if you just want to stay awake, but I find when I'm studying it totally kills my ability to concentrate

If you work in an office like me with colleagues who work on different floors, go the loo and bring your phone with you. Set the alarm for 15 mins time, lock the door and you'll be fresh as a daisy after your nap!

If anyone asks.....'Oh I was just helpin Eileen upstairs with a query'!
