    Ah but I drank 2 pots one day and felt really really gross.. I don't know if it was the caffeine but... my heart was racing really quickly and had a hard time breathing.. (happened once before) :eek: ....

    well yeah, the face is only like 8% of your total body surface :)
    the problem with the stimulants is that they are short term, most of them usually resulting in a 'crash'.
    Maybe you could do exercise or better yet start combining the suggestions. Drinking coffee in the cold shower while running :cool:
    earth to I can't believe it's not butterfingers :p , her first post said caffein or even caffeine was not effective for her anymore :rolleyes:

    Yeh sleeping in the day before is the best. You don't feel tired. Try not to make staying awake influenced by drink , food or drugs.

    :eek: what drugs? (I don't think I'll start it lol). But hey some college kids here use Ritalin which makes you crazy wide awake.. and FOCUSED (they're A.D.D pills) the only side effect is death :D

    all that sounds counterproductive right!
    we haven't even touched on using toothpicks to keep the eyes open!

    I do lots of green tea periodically which is awesome cuz it doesn't get you jittery fast.

    It is a simple test of your willpower :) If you really want to stay awake, you will

    PS- I haven't had to undergo that test :p

    Don't push your body too far - it will punish you.

    Also the longer you stay up the less effective you are at :

    - completing task
    - understanding things
    - remembering things

    In most cases you're better to go to bed and just start work when you're rested.
