So I find myself in an unusual circumstance.

Mr. Psychologist · September 25, 2014, 12:07:02 AM

I'm an insomniac, have been for years which sucks but anyways...

I'm actually tired/sleepy for once but alas I must now stay awake for the next 14 hours...
I can't drink coffee without ending up sick, so that rules out the caffeine binge...

But anyone have some tips for staying awake for a long time?

(Like I said, this is pretty ironic. An Insomniac asking for help to stay awake :[ )

Go for a jog, the Chavs should keep you moving.

Ah yes, that could work <.<

Pity I don't live near any though, well actually that's a plus but anyhoo >.>

You've got to find a way to zone out. Something that will immerse you completely.

There is a point however, that comes sooner or later, when you've stayed up for long enough that you no longer feel the need to sleep. If you can reach that point, you;ll be okay. But getting there is the challenge.

I can't really help you, because when I can't sleep, I either do one of two things.

I jog around my town at night until I burn out and I force myself to sleep from exhaustion.

Or I write. Night is often the best time for me to write a story, and so I have no trouble staying up all night and working on my projects.

But that's all I got.

Korra · September 25, 2014, 12:12:42 AM

This just reminded me...I gotta go to sleep.

Tired. Very tired.

Good night.

Yeah, I think the next few hours are the pincher <.<
If I can hit the second wind then I should be alright until this coming evening >.>

I'll try going for a stroll with my dogs though, that could help wake me up.

Once I get passed the 2am hump I can stay up until the morning sun.

Turn on the lights, watch some TV, and play games on your PC all at the same time.

If caffeine leaves me vomiting and having palpitations fit to shatter my ribcage, I dread to think what something like that would do .-.

Let alone the whole dumb/illegal aspect to it.

The trouble is, the more tired I get the more incoherent my posts do.

Until it's barely better than shitposting >.>
Or I let stupid shit slip my notice <.<

Top tip for staying awake.

Spoiler

Don't fall asleep.

Spoiler

Or enlist your brother to randomly jump you a few times between now and then.
The expectation and possibilities of a fright might keep you awake.

What level are you at? Also we will be able to play Warframe on consoles together even if we have different ones, its cross platform.
