<p>OK one thing I have noticed on CC is that most people are insomniacs.
I, on the other hand, am practically narcoleptic.
Right now though, I have to study for my exams and need to stay awake at night to do this.
How do I do this? (Dont suggest coffee, it doesnt help)</p>
<p>practice makes perfect.</p>
<p>what do you mean that coffee doesn't help? have you tried drinking 10 cups?</p>
<p>Adderall, or speed.</p>
<p>But assuming you don't want to go that route, you could do things like periodically splashing your face with cold water as a shock, listen to loud music (if you can focus), get so deep into your studies that you forget about sleeping, etc. Also, try pouring lots of sugar in the coffee.</p>
<p>food is the only thing that helps me. And soda. I need caffeine and sugar. Even pretty low-sugar foods keep me up. Of course, you have to consume a lot because it's just a sugar "high". A good tactic is to keep a constant change, so don't study calculus all night, switch between all your subjects so you don't overload.</p>
<p>caffine pills, taken in smart dosages, can keep you wake and alert. One good way of taking it is to crush it up and dissolve it in some drink. Other than that, I don't know of any safer substance that can come close in terms of keeping you awake without dulling your thought and senses.</p>
<p>whatever u do, don't take crazy drugs. it's dangerous and you'll never b able go 2 sleep again. i might b exaggerating</p>
<p>trust me I have no intentions of taking drugs of any kind
I have been drinking 10+ cups of coffee every day since I was 12 so it has very little effect on me and I dont think it is a good idea to increase the dose.
Sugar? yeah right. Combine lots of that with the fact that i'll be leading a completely sedentary life for the next 2 months and I'll have a HUGE problem. Literally. I have managed to lose 5 kgs and I have no intentions of putting it back on.
Caffeine pills??? Nooo I'm not to comfortable with the idea
I listened to Iron Maiden while doing math and it was so loud i couldnt concentrate.
i'm screwed :eek:</p>
<p>oh, uh...ok... um, at what time do u usually get really tired/sleepy? i don't know how 2 help if you're sleepy at like 8pm. lol you'll b alright...</p>
<p>do excersize and yoga every 30-45 minutes. It worked for me for two weeks of nonstop AP exams with 2hrs of sleep per night, AP National Scholar.</p>

<p>I take caffeine pills when I'm desperate... well, let's say when I have IB bio (HL) tests.. and stuff. Not a good idea tho</p>
<p>Drink green tea helps
or taking a nap</p>
<p>My body system is already messed up, I can just stay awake until 4 without trying.. geezzzzz. Being in IB classes kicks butt</p>
<p>You know, technically caffeine is a drug. Only thing I can tell you is just to sleep when you can, it'll make you more rested at night. If you get home at 3 from school and eat dinner at 5, don't spend that time watching TV, on the computer, reading or whatever. Take a 2 hour nap.</p>
<p>And Iron Maiden is one of the greatest bands ever. That rocks. I have a friend who's played guitar since 4th grade who's learning to play The Trooper.</p>
<p>Adderall is the way to go. ;)</p>
<p>lol I dont care any more
I never flunk anything so its ok</p>
