Dear OT,

So this game is coming out on 7th of december and I want to pull off two all nighters. Do you guys have any ideas on how to stay awake?

Cheers,

I'm assuming you mean Cataclysm? How are you going to enjoy the game if you stay up 48 hours beforehand? You'll just crash and not wake up for a long, long time after being awake that long. Just sleep, even if it's less than you usually get.

-Drink water or juice, absolutely avoid energy drinks, coffee, soda, etc. -Stay warm, being cold makes you tired/more likely to snuggle up and fall asleep. -Exercise when you're close to the tipping point. Or for the lazy alternative, go outside and take a walk. -If you normally take baths, switch to showers. -Try to keep busy. Something that requires more attention and focus, both physically and mentally (but not something like driving, which is dangerous to others if you're really tired), not anything like the internet or reading. -Spend as much time as possible outside when it's light out; it help keeps you awake both in the short and long term. But some of these are time consuming to the reason why you want to stay up, so pick and choose. I've done this enough times to know it's going to suck for you, so unless you have a really good reason, don't do it.

Watch scary stuff/Read creepy pastas. All while the Lavender town theme from the pokemon games is playing on a loop.

Specifically the gold/silver/crystal version of the song, not the diluted HG/SS version. Still have the nightmares, man.

As an all nighter regular may I ask how avoiding coffee helps? I always drink coffee. Lots.

Coffee is a short term drink. It may work for a few hours, but after it wears off, you're gonna be more tired than ever. Same goes with any caffeine infested drink. Drinking more coffee to extend the effect just f***s up your body even more. Not a good two-day plan. For a one night all nighter, it's fine, although still really bad for health altogether.

Yea, I usually research about what I digest, but I must of missed the you're more tired after it wears off part. Thanks.

Well if you're determined to do it despite all the advice saying not to, might as well do it well prepared and effectively. But if you start feeling bad when going through with it, seriously time to tap out.

No, that'll put your eyes in a worse position, actually. Since sunglasses are meant to protect your eyes from, well, the sun. Keep hydrated, make sure to blink, keep the room well lit, don't stay too close to screen, and take a 5-10 minute break if they're feeling particularly dry or stingy.

What a dumbass.

Can't really help you TC, I've been up for 40+ hours or so in a stretch once and I don't really remember what I did. It was all a haze. Wouldn't really suggest that.

Keep yourself active is my advice. If you sit around exhausted you might say to yourself, well I could just lay down, and before you know it BAM you fall asleep.
