So I work at Circuit City and have to be there at 4 am for Black Friday. I'm planning on leaving my house at 3:15 just in case there is traffic that early, cause people are crazy. So I'm going to take a shower at 2 and get dressed. And I know if I try to go to sleep, I'm either not going to wake up when I need to or it's going to make me more tired. If I laid down now, I'd only get 3 hours and that's if I fell asleep instantly. And that doesn't look like it's going to happen heh. So, I'm yawning a lot...coffee doesn't wake me up, just makes me have to pee a lot. What can I do to stay awake?

coffee doesn't wake me up cause I drink so much of it already. Someone told me about an icebreakers mint called energy? I wonder if that works...but it's kind of late to get it now lol.

I tried going to bed at 7 and I did doze for like a half hour, but I had to get up cause it was just giving me a headache cause I wasn't tired enough.

Hard to believe that caffeine doesn't help. Try drinking more or making it a lot stronger.
If that doesn't work then you better get to bed early. Probably too late already.

caffeine is probably your safest bet.
Don't use the over-the-counter stuff to stay awake. They can have some pretty bad side effects and make you feel lousy.
Coffee and grim determination. Sometimes, that's all that's gotten me through a few situations.

oh I feel for you...
for some hot water to the face helps...for others cold
Uh....I would say go for a stroll but that could maybe be bad at an odd hour
good luck, though

If you go to bed now, you can at least catch a few hours. Go to bed. If you don't sleep at all, you'll feel it for days.

hm...coffee usually doesn't help, the best solution drink a water with lemon juice. or just cold water

Read the Old Testament. That'll scare you enough to keep you awake for a week.

I say just don't think about being tired and when you are working you will forget all about being tired.
