Wake me up

[InsanityBaronOfAtrocity]

So I've been awake since 8am this morning as I had an early job interview and tonight I have work from 10pm til 6am or the man shift as I call it. Now normally, feeling nackered as I am at the moment I'd just go to bed til later but unfortunately I have a bunch of stuff that needs sorting out before work tonight.

So escapoids. Any tips on staying awake? Just drank a pint of coffee.

Punch yourself in the balls.

Less painful, eat an apple or drink some apple juice.

 

[Kwaren]

Every time you think you are starting to fall asleep punch yourself in the leg as hard as you can.

Just drank a pint of coffee.

drink another one.

Sing along to some of your favorite songs. Trying to remember the lyrics and all that will keep your brain working. Also, try drinking some water along with that coffee.

 

[LHZA]

I work overnight shifts too (10 pm - 8 am). Mines more manly then yours!

My advice, read the escapist forums, eat every three hours and try and make it nutrious food, and listening to music helps too.

I was actually gonna suggest that.

Watch those late night game shows where you have to call to solve the answers. They keep me up for ages.

Wrap a rubber band around your wrist and every time you feel like snoozing just snap it. After a while you start associating the pain with feeling sleepy so you'll start avoiding that snoozing around feeling. It always works for me if I want to stay awake and study for the next day.

Spoiler: Wake Up

Play an adrenalin pumping game of course!
You ARE asking on a gaming website...

Will-power is really all that can help you in these situations. You just have to focus on staying awake and tell yourself that you'll be able to sleep all you want once it's over. Good luck!

Get side tracked and forget the time. I have done it a few times, when I do it I forget about being tired and wake up more.

I always like to put on headphones and blast metal at my ears until i'm awake. Then I drink massive amounts of coffee. That always wakes me up.

...which one?

 

[DiMono]

Take a shower and sing in it profusely.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Showers are helpful. But the last strench, I'm guessing, doesn't have shower breaks.

Drink. A lot. And urinate. A lot.

Ah. I meant the ball-punching. Probably the fastest way to wake anyone up.

Actually, I think a woman would be rather surpirsed if someone punched her in the testicles.
