Tips for staying awake?

[TigerMan]

I need some tips for staying awake, got to pull an all nighter tonight (haven't started a research paper that's due tomorrow). Caffeine drinks like coffee and Coke sometimes work for me, but they aren't consitent enough (I easily fall asleep sometimes after drinking them). So any of you college kids or adults pulling all nighters got any good tips for keeping awake so that I can save my behind and get a good grade? Thanks. Also this is a good time to share your stories/tips too!

Well.....

The California Drivers handbook says,

"Listen to music you don't like and roll down your windows..."

soooo if you're at home listen to music you don't like and open your windows....lol

Red Bull will work. But its hard to concentrate if you take any drugs (caffeine or anything like that). You might be awake, but your mind won't stay focused.

Best bet is to drink lots of water and just force yourself through it. (Water works because it makes you have to pee constantly, iced tea works even better). Its hard to sleep when you have to pee every 10 minutes.

Well, here's a tip to help you do your research paper, not so much for staying up all night. Don't browse AO or the web, and turn of AIM. You'll get your paper done a lot quicker and you might not have to stay up all night.

I'm lactose intolerant. All that would do is keep me on the toilet.

Hey, if you are blasting a hole in the toilet, you aren't sleeping, right? Do your paper there, but spray it with some frebreeze before you turn it in.

Get some bawls.

lol, bawls... a trade secret... caffeine should be illegal

Caffeine usually works, but I find I stay up when I'm doing something fun or interactive. And unless you're watching a VERY interesting tv show or movie, I'd say avoid the tv altogether. The computer is good cause of AO, and mindless games... you should find yourself a task to complete and focus on it throughout the night, that's what keeps me going.
