[lillaila]

I'm having my exams:
Monday .........had english and bio.........went home..........and guess what????????????????????????
i slept like a pigggggggg........from 4pm that day to 9 am the next morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i skipped dinner!!!.............lucky the next day i had no exams.........after that i felt so guilty.
N E WAY: ive tried coffee and tea.........what ELSE keeps u awake?
I drank like 2 glasses of coffee at once (cos i was desparate) and i started shaking........tea is better but i get used to it and need to wait like 2 or 3 days for it to work again.
A friend suggested me to flash the lamp in my eyes......(hmmm)
so what else CAN u do?.......................
BTW .........sleep is good but it's failing me at school.

things to keep you awake aye?

well heres a few things i do.
- have a shower, a cold shower... coz if its warm u prob fall asleep in the shower
- wash ur face with cold water
- dont drink coffee, DRINK TEA
- if its in the arvo, drink V or something like that.
- listen to some distrubing music.
- exercise!

Exercise is the best, it gets your blood pumping .

I think you should still get a good night's sleep every night - I think I had some trouble before Area of Study last year, but I was alright after that .

 

[abdooooo!!!]

if you exercise and don't sleep you're body will be so sore that sitting up seems like you're runing a marathon.

if your really that desperate you could always do pills ( or havnt they invented them yet?) but it should be a last resort cuz you dont wanna get addicted or anything

drink tea, it works for me if i'm staying up late.

i normally have 3-4 cups, but that's just me.
chrysanthemum tea is the best if you can get it, (chinese ones)
not the herbal ones though (or jasmine, but i'm just fussy with my tea)

other than that, lipton'll have to do ... i don't like bushells either
two sugars.

you can always fake a cold, and get cold and flu tablets - the day time ones have drugs that keep you awake
you dont need a prescription or anything

i've always found that sleeping for 14 minutes or so wakes you up, leaves you bright and awake...its great! just gotta be sure u wake up...

i find taking cold and flu tablets is like a sleeping ticket or something. it just makes me more sleepy even the non drowsy ones.

but even if u tried to stay awake from night to morning, don't ur back just give way??
my back aches before my eyes close.

You must take the night time ones, they make you sleepy, but the day time ones are designed to keep you awake

 

[abdooooo!!!]

i found that when i don't sleep much for long period of time the less i wanted to sleep, probaly because the human body adapt to the condition that it is put upon, and at the same time when you sleep heaps you still feel that you're tired and want more

 

[miguel_fugdey]

i think i'll go to sleep...its gettin late...

 

[Rahul]

I drank tea in the common room at school to get me through free periods, mostly chrysanthemum too . I'm pretty fussy with my tea too, I don't like English tea except with lots of milk and sugar. I had someone's Russian Caravan tea once, very black and very strong, kept me awake through double physics that arvo .

But I never bothered with drinks to keep me awake at home - when I felt sleepy, I just went to sleep...productivity is low at night for me .

 

[miguel_fugdey]

8 hours? thats rediculous! i survive on 6, no problems

 

[ellipsis]

Yeah I normally only get around 6-7 too. Haven't yet become some giant red-bloated-veins monster. Well not last time I checked...
No love of study is achieved in the other 18 hours of the day though

If I want to stay up longer, besides coffee/tea, I find that really strong mints work too. They clear your head and force you to think.
