What is the best way to stay awake?

[chuckywang]

Say you've been up for 12 straight hours and need to be up for 12 hours more. What is the best way to stay awake and alert during that time?

coffee

Have people poke you in the eye with a stick? Seriously, caffine, run around (not jogging, just for circulation), have conversations with people, pretend the floor is lava....you know, whatever trips your trigger.

 

[Jpark]

tape your eyes open

 

[Ninjja]

Think of the sh!t you'll be in if you don't stay awake.

 

[SouthPaW1227]

i haven't found a reliable way yet

sleep

 

[Fritzo]

Red Bull Enema.

 

[Injury]

Don't go to sleep?

Keep working hard and don't pay attention to the time.

 

[DivideBYZero]

Self Punching

 

[Orsorum]

Keep working hard!

<--- finishing an analysis... really only needs to be done by 5PM PST so I COULD go to sleep, but if I get it done now and then sleep, I can wake up at 1 or 2, proof it again, then submit it. Woo.

 

[Gravity]

Don't go potty even when you really need to.....

try to maintain w00d.

 

[mcvickj]

Why fight it? Sleep is you friend.

Buy some caffine pills at the gas station.

 

[VTHodge]

Drink a Red Bull every two hours and walk around for a few minutes whenever you feel tired.

 

[franksta]

Apples work better than caffiene, cold air, and loud music.

 

[lavaheadache]

staple your eyelids to your forehead. I'm pretty sure sleeping would not come so easily after that

 

[EngenZerO]

rub one off

 

[sharkeeper]

Up just 12 hours? LOL

Learn how to fly. Take a long trip. You will learn to stay awake or crash.

 

Meth.

NO! THAT WILL PUT YOU TO SLEEP!

Drink lots of caffeine, and then when you feel tired immediately afterwards, drink some water to move the caffeine through your system. That will fvcking do the trick, I assure you.

Yeah, that did make me sleepy.

clothes peg on the nads works for me.

 

[Sam Granger]

I remember seeing some caffeine chewing gum somewhere - that should do the trick.

 

[Malladine]

Oh I have a better idea: chocolate coated coffee beans!!

 

[teckmaster]

this doesn't sound that good but I did it once, and I was awake forever it seemed. I took a glass of milk and poured some Jim Beam in it. Didn't taste bad, but I wasn't going to sleep after wards.
