Been playing heaps lately because im not working all that much... Been finding the longer i play, the harder it is to stay sharp. Concentration wavers and i make stupid mistakes... Does anyone else experience this? What can i do to help perform longer? any tricks or advice?
I'd recommend against anything super-sugary (since you'll crash from the sugar rush sooner or later), and avoid energy drinks (because they are terrible). Try coffee, and change your scenery/take short breaks every so often to keep your mind fresh. I'd suggest going to an entirely different room if you plan to re-read and check your drafts. Beyond that...eh, I don't know, I can do all-nighters with ease.
Not getting sleep is definitely not recommendable. I get that you want to keep playing but it feels so good to just crawl into bed, man. Trust me, your game won't go anywhere.
First thing I thought was you was talking about a night job, which I dealt with by drinking iced coffee and Rip-its. In your case, just go to bed. The continued rotation of the world doesn't depend on you sniping some racist 12-year old that also apparently ate your mom out in Black Ops 2 at four in the morning.
Caffeine, adderall, nicotine. Just be aware if you choose to mix nicotine and caffeine, the nicotine wil remove about half of the amount of caffeine in your system, so smoke/dip/vape first and then take caffeine.
