Tips for staying awake?

[FooTemps]

Cold water, music (perferably upbeat or harsh and annoying), some snacky foods, lower brightness/contrast settings on your monitor (it keeps the eyes from hurting... staring @ a monitor from 9:00PM to 3:30AM to work on a paper is a pain for the eyes), lots and lots of entertainging short distractions.

Well if caffine works for you then I'd say give it a shot but don't drink so much of whatever you have that has caffine that you lose focus. I remeber that I tried these over the counter caffine pills one night, and only took 2 but they just gave me a big headache and I couldn't concentrate at all. If your topic is interesting then that should be enough to keep you up.

Get some sweet shot (or any other breath spray) and shoot it up your nose any time you begin to feel a little drowsy.

Only one nostrel at a time, though--- The eye on that side won't work right for a few minutes.

Drink Red Bull if you can stomach the stuff. If not, gas your gun up and shoot yourself in the foot everytime you nod off.

here was my suicidal Tech school drink of doom:

(created by edweird the non-morning person)

Drink a 1 Lt Coke down to the top of the label

take a pack of skittles, or to make it not nearly as gross get a big bag and select a single color out of it.

take the skittles and crush / blender the BEBJEBUSS outa em

add skittle vapor to the coke. and a couple Crushed No-Doz for spite.

close the evil mixture and shake softly to help it disolve

Ingest and pray that you can handle the OD on liquid crack

Self inflicted pain works. You wont really hurt yourself, but the little pick me up from endorphins works Kick the table leg, or something

you would always make your foot fall asleep and then try to walk on it... that should keep you awake...

The anwser is simple. A shot of Jack. Just be able to control yourself. I didnt when I was studying and the night ended with me streaking down the dorm halls in a speedo and water polo cap(hey it was halloween). I did end up getting a B- on the test though. Hahahaha

Get some bawls.

THE official drink of lan parties, this stuff will keep you awake till u finish ur term paper, and THEN some. its got not only the MOST caffeine of ANY drink on the market, its also got a damn crap load of guarana. guarana is a berry from the amazon, which yields guaranine. guaranine is similar to caffeine but MUCH more potent. not only that, this stuff tastes great. i mean red bull sux without liquor, but this tastes great all by itself.

im done with my rant, i just wanna educate the world about the qualities of bawls.

How about do your paper before the night before?
