How do you stay awake?

fragged one · 01-21-2003, 05:19 PM

i usually get 6 hours a night, on friday and saturday nights usually less. why sleep more on the weekend? i mean, it's not like i need the rest for work the next day.

i have more important things to do. like play tribes, or neverwinter nights, or diablo 2, or gta 3....

at work, i drink coffee non-stop for the first half of the day, then dr. pepper the second half. keeps me going. at home, trusty mt. dew out the arse.

ha ha! good one.
i need 6.5 hrs a day on weekdays. about 7-8 on weekends coz i don't bother to get up.

and do get some sleep guys. studies in workaholic japan have shown that people with less that 5.5 hrs sleep a day are more likely to get hypertension / high blood pressure (don't know if they're the same thing). don't know how reliable this study is, but hey, sufficient sleep makes me feel good.

72 hours is my longest stretch. that was when i was in the army. geez!

Yeah, those 2 are the same thing

I've just been up for ~48 hours. What I did to stay awake, flip the channels. I had very few options (pulling front desk watch in a room about as big as a small bathroom). I did some push ups and things like that, but got tired of that really quick. I had no remote, so standing by the TV flipping channels kept me awake for a good portion of the last hours.

Cool

Coffee, coffee, coffee...
And work that MUST be done.

That's an easy one.
