How to stay awake all night

[Sparrow]

I don't have any coffee or energy drinks on me, how can I stay up from right now (11:39) till at least 4:00? I need to study for an exam. I haven't paid attention in class FOR MONTHS.

Try chocolate, or an apple, or anything else sweet.

Have a cold shower. Then if you feel yourself starting to drop off, study standing up/walking.

Do you know anyone who is willing to stay up with you? Also moving around helps! Get up and jog for a bit. The same reasons people are able to stay up all night at parties is what you want.

 

[Sparrow]

No. It's just my sister and I. She's in bed XD. No one to play air hockey with. DOH!

 

[Ashenstar]

*GASP* I LOVE air hockey! Ok dude. Gimme 10' and I'll be over with food and we'll study the fun way! How much noise are we aloud to make? I get agressive :3

 

[Sparrow]

I LOVE AIR HOCKEY as well. And ping pong...everyone in my family sucks at games requiring good hand-eye coordination. Damn! I'll pay for the tickets, 1st class to Montreal. YES!

Go to sleep for 20-30 minutes, let yourself get angry at having to wake up, but not too mad, what you want here isn't an outburst, you want a persistent, dull sort of anger - the anger-energy alone might be enough to carry you through.

But you can't afford not to hedge your bets. Burn yourself, badly, (and all the horseplay beforehand, the 'should I or should I not' back n' forth will wake you up some) with hot coffee, preferably on the forearm, or palm, a place where it'll be difficult not to notice - but after doing so, don't tend to it or try to make things better, air it out, let it breathe. The combination of 'only had a small piece of that sumptuous sleep-candy' agony/rage along with the intermittent pangs/throbbing of the [probably permanent] burn-mark should be enough to see you through this. Stay positive. You're a champion. Rome wasn't built in day.

I'm doing it. I took a cold shower. My mind's like screwed up but I can do the test tomorrow. I managed to finish my essay. YES! Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

 

[cheese]

Yay! Fantastic

I don't know if this has been said. But, drinking water always refreshes me, and if you're constantly drinking it, the need to pee will keep you up and probably give you much needed breaks :P

 

[Sparrow]

I'm yawning. Dammit.

You know what's funny?

I'm doing nearly the exact same thing. I have 2 "reflections" on my course (which will be graded as a part of our exam, even though exams were over weeks ago) that I am now 1/2 done with.

And I have an assesment tomorow in a different (and even harder) course.

What's sad is I'm used to it all.

I'm learning the entire curriculum right now *facepalm*

Powernaps and apples;
Sit on the edge of a chair, with a keyring on your finger, and let yourself fall asleep, when the finger relaxes, your keyring drops, and you wake up.... or fall forwards.
