Ways to stay up late?

Hey all,

I think I'm going to have to pull an all-nighter tonight, or at least close. I'm already feeling pretty tired. Any ways or remedies for staying up late (and still being able to work and concentrate) other than caffeine, which does nothing for me?

Thanks.
 
why do you need to pull an all-nighter?

Do you just want to, or do you have some specific reason?

Get some mint gum. New piece ever hour.

Heavy music.

Fresh air and standing up and taking a quick stroll will help out if you start to feel woozy.

Sit up nice and propper and don't slouch. Make yourself too comfortable and you'll be tempted to fall asleep.

Keep drinking water. Not only will the fresh cool water brighten you up, getting up to take a whiz will wake you up, too 😉

Tons of homework.

I'd say willpower. I have a 10 page comp paper that I need to finish, and I'm probably pulling an all nighter tonight to try and finish it.

When I have homework to do, I usually don't find it hard to stay up in order to do it.

I just listen to some PvD, or some of my old Oakenfold mixes, or my other music (which is all trance, because that's all I listen to), and get it done.

And maybe some homestarrunner.com for some comic relief

Ah. I was figuring it would be that.

Reward yourself. Say when you finish so many pages of a paper, you can play a 20 minutes of video games, or go for a walk, or have a soda, cruising ATOT or something. Break the homework down so it doesn't seem so big. DON'T tell yourself you'll go to bed now and finish in the morning.

I had to read "A Lesson Before Dying" in one night. (I wasn't a slacker. I just couldn't afford the measly 13 dollar book until the night before the test 🙁 ) All my friends went to a party that night, and that sucked. I bought myself a 4 pack of Jones Green Apple Soda and told myself I could have one during a 15 minute break for every 75 pages I read.
I started at 8PM and finished at 2AM... I got a 106% on the test.

If you work straight through, you'll be more worried about getting done and less worried about what you are actually doing. Save some time in the morning to re-read what you did tonight and make sure it makes sense. 😉
 
Go down to your local minimart and see if they have any energy pills that contain ephedrine. 🙂

I disagree with that, atleast for me. If I'm tired, and I sleep and only get 3 hours of sleep, I will feel worse when I wake up than I would if I stayed up for those 3 hours.

I guess it depends on the individual. If I stay up an entire night, by noon the next day I pretty much pass out. If I get some sleep first, after a shower and a cup of coffee I'm usually good to go till the next evening.
 
Lock the door.. Kill the lights... No one's coming, home tonight... it's getting colder... it's getting colder.

Have some red bull or one of those energy drinks.
 
More caffine. Those who say it doesn't work on them have not had enough. Suck back three large coffees and get back to me.
 
Go down to the gay part of your nearest major city and pick up one of the "girls" on the side of the road. You either won't be able to close your eyes for a couple days, or "she" will keep you up all night.

Oh, my plan costs $100 or so.

You're talking to someone who's had 7 Red Bulls in one sitting, and at another point took several caffeine pills, etc etc. It just doesnt wake me up.

Amphetamines will keep you awake. Street name is speed, but you can get it as prescription weight loss pills.
