Ways to stay awake
pwhodges:
I got wrecked for quite a while when I did a stint at the BBC on the following rotation: 8am-4pm, 8am-4pm, 10am-6pm, 12am-8pm, (next day) 8pm-8am, (next day off).
J-cob9000:
I don't pull all-nighters. I just go to bed at 5 and sleep for two hours before being forced to wake up at 7 to take my mother to the hospital for a checkup. But of course, the next night, I go to bed at 6pm and wake up at noon.
Staying Awake:
coffee and a bright screen in front of you. that is all I need.
De_El:
Usually when I've pulled an all-nighter and it affects me badly the next day, it is difficult to stay awake from one moment to the next. In between coffees and munching on food, I tend to resort to biting my hands.
ZJGent:
A bout of insomnia brought on by anxiety over having to meet a ladyfriend's mother today has rendered me incapable, baggy of eye and in a right headstate. Lord knows what the old dear will think of me now.
In short: best thing to keep you awake is nagging but not too acute stress, level yet incalculable.
calenlass:
Man I do not know how loud music keeps people awake. I think I am just weird in this, but I hit a certain point of exhaustion and become almost narcoleptic. Like, I could be in the middle of a live Marilyn Manson concert and just drift off, or someone could be trying to carry on a conversation with me and I am suddenly incapable of holding my eyes open. It is really weird.
