Get enough sleep the night before. I usually have a couple 20 ounce bottles of pop but I wouldn't absolutely need them.

Coffee.

Although, if I actually have work to do, I don't need it - but in the long, long periods where I have nothing to do, I need something to keep me goin. Getting enough sleep doesn't really do the job.

Pop some skittles if I'm in need of sugar. I do decent on 6 hours of sleep although 7 would be nice.

If you aren't keeping yourself busy at work, you aren't working hard enough.

I take a nap. Usually around 20 min, or serious amounts of coffee. Afternoons are the worst for me. That's what you get with 12 hour days on 6 hours sleep.

haha...i don't drink coffee. i don't think that's the best solution for me to stay awake. caffeine doesn't help me either. :Q

i usually chew gum because that takes physical to act. it helps me a lot though.

You guys think you're so clever with your thing called "sleep'.

Yeah! What is this so called "sleep" thing you keep bringing up? Sounds time consuming. Who's got time for that?

I get at least 8 hours of sleep at night. If I'm really tired I get a Redbull from the snack bar (Redbull is the best at keeping me awake).

As opposed to the lighthearted masturbation you do at home?
