| So I have a finals in a few hours and I stayed up all night studying. What should I do to stay awake? If i sleep, i WILL BE SO TIRED and not able to stay awake later on. Coffee? When I drink it, I get even sleepier. D: |
| Then drink even more coffee. |
| 2 coffee? Is that even good? lol i wouldn't want to have to take a shit during the finals. ): |
| Take in B6 and B12 vitamins. They'll help you regulate energy levels more efficiently. Also, don't take more then three. They thicken your blood, and too much of a good thing... |
| You should probably drink a 5 hour energy. They work at first, but after drinking a lot of them your body becomes used to it. So as long as you haven't had many of them before you should be good. |

| Fruit is good, like apples and such. They won't give you instant energy like coffee will but should help keep you alert (or at least conscious) during your finals. |
| Usually an energy drink should do the trick, just don't drink too much. |
| Energy drinks and coffee don't do shit for me. I would just go to sleep even if I knew I'd be miserable for a while when I wake up. |
| ..a chocolate bar and a soda. \o/ I don't drink coffee. I've seen how it ruins lives..XD |

Most of what energy drinks/coffee does is on the inside so you won't exactly notice it working in the ways you think you would. On a side note a lot of you are suggesting healthy/low caffeine things which are probably a good idea but he needs something a bit more potent, just make sure its in moderation. |

femalegoblin said: green tea that is caffeinated, perhaps? Bzzzt. How about green tea extract? Ironcially more superior then actual green tea. Caffeinated only have a 'high', so they eventually backfire. Using something that moderately contributes to energy levels (like 5 hour energy) is better then stuff like AMP or Red Bull. Also, Taurine backfires twice as bad. -Kazu said: ..a chocolate bar and a soda. o/ I don't drink coffee. I've seen how it ruins lives..XD Dark chocolate would be superior. Its healthier and has more total fat. Total fat will help satiate hunger better so focus can be maintained. Also, aim for anything with polysaturated fat. Its good for you. .... I have too much free time. |
| aw,well 3 cups of tea makes me stay awake ;) |
 |
| try mixing random crap up in a mixer and drink it. It'll either taste so amazing you feel proud so random it left you confuse so bad it's traumatizing whichever way, you'll be awake for a long time. |

| Caffeine tablets + any drink you like. |

| Awake is easy, alert is harder, but keeping the brain actually worthwhile is the really hard part. Just being awake won't mean you are usefully coherent. |
| While not technically anime, currently I am a big fan of Hatsune Miku. At least I can go see her in concert. |
| Exercise for like 15-30 mins, it works for me. |

| I don't put much before sleep... If I needed to stay awake, then I'd have a nutella toasty and a big mug of tea, not because it keeps me awake (though having to go to the toilet does keep you awake), but because I get hungry. |
| Cup Noodles and 3~4 cups of Pepsi works very well to me or just run around the house, 5 laps and its ok :] |
 |
-Kazu said: ..a chocolate bar and a soda. o/ I don't drink coffee. I've seen how it ruins lives..XD Wat. Energy drinks are probably the best way to go. You'll probably crash later though. |
| Sweets, leave me awake and with a lot of energy, but only if I had a time without eating. The cafe operates slightly on me, I prefer a nice cup of hot chocolate. Full power!! |
| <img src="http://myanimegraph.k.vu/trackers/Prower/924.png" /> |
| When I want to stay awake I cook food, real food. It's not as much the eating it, as the cooking it that keeps me awake. Other than that, a shower always works. |

| Mix a 24Hour Energy drink with your Coffee. That should be a fun day. |

| Coffee or Energy drinks both are fine for me. |

| eat something for dinner with a lot of hotsauce. u wont be able to sleep |
| Coffee or energy drink. I drank two 5 hour energy in a row once. Never again.... |
| "Oh, you want some too?" |
| lots of Vanila Coke^^ |
 |
| Inject coffee into your bloodstream |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Black out the windows so your body doesn't know what time of day it is. It works best when you have the blinds and curtains over the windows all day, so you never see sunrise or sunset. Probably also the easiest way to get a mixed bag of psychological disorders. I also find that my brain works more efficiently when I'm fasting. I suggest eating a single large meal before you need to concentrate, and another smaller meal a few hours before you plan to sleep, with no snacks in between. I have dozens of other tactics like these, this is just the most important rules for me to follow. If I hit a wall, I grab a powerbar and bolt it. Powerbars usually keep me going for about 4 hours. Remember and drink water too if you're going to eat something like that because it will prevent you from throwing up, getting dehydrated, or both. Take a quick walk outside if nothing else, that should calm you down if you can't think. Also, before you go out to take a break (if you do), write down or record your immediate thoughts on whatever you're working on before you go so you can get back to work faster, and when you take a break try to meditate and clear your mind (think of nothing). This procedure of sorts will prevent you from crashing (as opposed to drinking incomprehensible amounts of caffeinated liquids) and should help you to work a little more efficiently. |

| I usually have an espresso or grab something quick to eat. If I'm really aiming to stay awake a shower always helps. My internal sleep clock is so messed up right now, it's not even funny. |
| You're doing it wrong you're not supposed to study the night before your exam. |
| any kind of snack will do. and listen to music that won't let you sleep |
| Black tea. And I don't take out the leaves until the end. |
| also you should have a little nap before you do your exams, that helped me alot. |
| Listen to music that won't put you to sleep, browse the internet and click w/e catches your eye. |
 |
| I don't drink Coffee often; it's actually very rare that I do. Only times I need a stimulant to stay awake is when I'm pulling an all-nighter, and that usually involves studying (and I don't do a lot of that, lolol). At that point, it's just easier to take speed, as it'll waken me and increase my focus. I know it's illegal, but do you see how may fucks I give? NONE. Lul. But really, I've only taken adderall twice this year. It's a good stimulant when used sparringly, which I do. Otherwise, you can become addicted to it (it makes someone who doesn't have ADHD - me - feel really, really good). |
 |
| 6 hour energy? monster? or sometimes a shower would do the trick. |
| this is my god damn signature. |
| I drank 3 coffee and surprisingly, it worked. I wasn't sleepy at all and that's what I wanted. |
| Hot or cold milk tea always keeps me up! As for food... probably some left over dinner... haha... xD |
 |
| ill be honest, when im really trying to stay awake and its really important to and im really really REALLY on the virge of passing out....... ..............i punch myself in the groin, hey it works |
