What tricks do you have for staying awake

---

How do you stay awake at work or school when it's so fucking boring. I mean you can't get up and go outside for a minute. Unless your in an enclosed office you can't run in place or anything. Coffee only does so much. You can't find anything interesting to read on the web. You can't turn the radio on to anything but easy listening. How the fuck do you stay awake?

I eat lol. But healthier stuff like apples, Yogurt etc. They seem to give me a little boost of energy that seems to keep me awake.

Coffee doesn't do much for me for very long- you may be the same way (I don't know). Have you tried energy drinks? I live off of Vault and 5 Hour Energy. If you try the 5 Hour, don't take the whole shot at once- you start to feel waaaay to weird. I almost passed out once when I drank a whole shot because it was too much for me to handle. Other than that, it's great. I drink a half shot before every flight and I am amazed at how much of the flight I can actually remember as opposed to when I don't have anything before my flights. Just some ideas for other stimulants, if you haven't tried them.

Who the fuck wants to sleep at night. Why the fuck do ya think we're all so tired during the day. :wink:
I think you need to go pick up lish and be reminded what night time is for. :grin:

What I do is a sort of happy, motivating thinking thing, whatever I'm doing, I'm doing for a reason. If I'm at work, I put a smile on my face and keep going...I know I'm gonna get paid which means (fingers crossed) that I'm soo much closer to my super-duper new car. Work also provides other motivations but they're not really relevant. If I'm at school, I just try to enjoy it: take notes, never let my mind wander...well, not too far anyway. Well, the other motivation for school is to do this last year really well considering I'm out in seven months sniffle. So how do I stay awake? Try to make the most of every second!  Quote:peanut butter and banana sandwich washed down with a litre of milkAw shucks you got me wanting that now, well maybe a glass as opposed to a litre! smiles super super brightly

This is actually something really weird that i do. When i'm in class and i know i didn't get enough sleep the night before and i'm about to doze off. I hold my pencil in the air about my leg so if i do nod off the pencil falls and hits my leg, and wakes me up.

In some occupations in nineteenth-century Britain, people were given a one-legged stool, so if they fell asleep they would fall over.

It was all good till some fucker turned the stool over and no longer had to worry about it falling over or him falling asleep.

I would recomend smoking a pound of crack. Just kidding drugs are bad. Well for me at work I'm running around all the time so that keeps me up but in school I just try to focus really hard and keep getting uncomfortalbe casue its alot harder to fall asleep when your uncomfortable
