What do you use to keep you awake?

Question

I'm a full-time college student and i work full-time also. Tomorrow i have classes from 9am until 7pm, with small gaps in between but not enough time to take a nap. After class i come straight to work, where im here til 5:30am Friday morning. I have tried Red Bull, Coffee, Yellow Jackets etc... What keeps you awake? "Only serious answers please!"

Its amazing how i get responses telling me to change my schedule! if i could i would have already.

Answer 1

seriously......cocacola..not diet....REGULAR AND COLD it seriously keeps you up. make sure its canned

Answer 2

I am a full time University student, as well as work full time, plus I run my household . One thing you could consider, is go to school more days, but with shorter hours (like take two classes on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays, three on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or something similar to that). That is how I handle it. Most nights I get two to four hours of sleep, but on the occasion that I get a day off from everything (which I usually have Saturdays off) I spend the day "catching up" on sleep. There should be no need to take "wake up" items (caffine, etc.) because your body can only handle that hectic schedule for so long before it will cause you to burn out, get sick and have to take time away from studies and work.

But to juggle such a hectic schedule as you seem to have, I would suggest breaking up the school hours throughout the week, to ensure that there is a little more time in your life. And try to get one day every week or every two weeks off, to just do nothing but sleep and relax.

Good luck!

Its not even exciting stuff... its like making plans to get an IRA and how a lot interest i'll recieve if I make investments in I intense yield fee reductions account. ~BLECH!!~ If i am going to lose sleep i ought to besides imagine of something good or sensible!

Answer 4

Sheesh, when do you find time to sleep?

Lighten up the schedule somehow, Friend!

3 1/2 hours of sleep isn't really enough. But if you must, try a combination of sugary foods and protien to give you some kind of sustained energy boost.

Answer 5

anyone referring to sudafed or referring to pseudophedrine it contains which tweakers (meth heads) use to stay awake for days. don't do it. Try getting that day off work instead or drop a class. If you are too tired to go to work you are probably to tired to be able to study and your GPA will drop.

I recommend Rock Star if you don't want to change your schedule or drop a class.

Answer 6

I usually drink lemonade with tons of sugar in it to keep me awake. The sugar makes me hyper and the citric acid gives an extra kick.

Answer 7

Whenever you feel a bit tired, why don't you just take a little walk or jog in place for a few minutes. A little bit of excercise might perk you up a bit
