I'm at work right now, and I need to stay wake. I'm in the military so, sleeping on the job is not an option.

I've tried mountain dew, and it's not working...

You would figure that after alomst four years in the AIr Force, I'd would have staying awake down to an art, but that is not the case tonight...

Have some tea. Listen to the radio or something.

Problem is that we don't get radio reception down here. Tea might be a good idea though

I Don't. I can usually be found sleeping on a cardboard box and using an arcitecture book as a pillow. :) AllAmericanMag knows what I'm talkin about.

Yeah, LOL, I know..

Where is Jolt Cola when you really need it? Do they even make that stuff anymore?

Amp is short for Ambrosia, so drink up...I have roughly 20 cans of it in my fridge outside, so if ya want some, you know who to call.

Well, I drink coffee. I drink it black too. That does the trick. None of that mountain dew crap works for me.

I don't have a job yet, im not old enough. But i'd imagine that a drink called Bawls would keep you up all night. It can be purchased here: http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/drinks/2818/

Starbucks Frappicino (sp). I have not had the guts to try a Doubleshot yet.

Bawls does the trick. I haven't tried it at work yet, but it works other times.

yeah I was up 39 hours on a case of bawls could have gone for two days but I was horribly bored at 3am

Amp is junk... Sugar Free Red Bull is great. Bawls are good at room temperature. Black coffee is the healthiest!

Chew gum
Stay Active (if you can't concentrate go play a game or watch TV for a few minutes)
Drink super caffienated drinks
Eat chocolate
Eat candy (sugar!)

main thing is staying active. I can stay up all night without anything but water, that's because I'm always doing something, if its playing games, or talking on a chatroom, making a level or looking on forums. It keeps me awake.

btw I did 40 hours with diet coke. I win. :D

but I've been mastering it for 4 years every summer... I swear some weeks I'll wakeup at 3 in the morning and sleep at 6... sometimes I'll sleep at noon and wakeup at 1am... or something.l I'm crazy

Chat rooms aren't allowed at work, and I'm not allowed to leave the office. It has to be manned 24/7. Which sucks. I can't even leave for a smoke.
But, I watch movies. Constantly

what exactly do you do?

as I said, stay active... best advice.

if you get the fluids going (aka constantly drinking)you'll have to go to the bathroom every 20 minutes which keeps you active as well... :D

I'm a munitions controller. My office is about 20 feet by 20 feet. There are no windows, and I basically work alone.
