What do you do to stay awake?

28 Comments

Okay, so I have to read a book for an assignment, but I always find myself getting sleepy and completely forgetting what I just read. I also sometimes fall asleep while reading the book, and then I wake up feeling disoriented and so tired that it's hard to concentrate.
So the question is, when your in one of those halfway-to-sleep feelings when it's not even nightime yet, what do you do to keep yourself awake?

Exercise. 4
Splash water in my face. 9
Watch TV. 5
Consume some sugar. 13
I don't stay awake, if I'm tired, I nap. 18

    Caffeine, sugar and most importantly a routine of going to bed late at night. I stay up until 2 or 3am most nights, sometimes later, without needing to do anything now because it's part of my routine.

      Wow, how much sleep do you get then:o? Does it not effect your work?

        I don't sleep nearly enough. I'm trying to get to bed earlier, but my body clock doesn't seem to like the change of routine very much. As it's half term break right now I'm staying up later than I normally would as well, which is bound to affect my work quite a lot when I go back next week. I've started trying to get to sleep by 1, which would leave me 6 to 7 hours a night. It's impacted on my work quite a bit in the past before as well, so I'm trying not to let my lack of sleep run away with me.

          Yeah I think the problem is just routine, even though we have a week off I'm still going to bed at 10 at the latest:)

          I must say, the old fatalities were better in my opinion. The new ones are so realistic looking that it's almost sickening. The old ones were cartoon-y and hilarious. I have yet to play the new one though.

            Yeah I agree they are a bit hard to watch, especially when its being done to you when you have been defeated! lol I like to play MK2 and UMK3 just as much as MK9.

    All I have to do is think. It's very hard for me to sleep.

    Be myself. I'm a creature of the night. I never sleep and feel fine. Normally, I go to bed at 3 am or so, then wake up at 8 or 9. I rarely sleep before or after those times. Maybe once every six months or so, I'll wake up at 11 or so. And maybe once in a year, I'll go to bed before 12.
