Recently, I've been swamped with assignments. And so, does anyone have any ideas on staying awake and pulling all nighters? Like is there anything to do, eat, drink, etc. that will help?? What are your "pulling all nighter" tricks?? I used to be good at it, but slowly my body is becoming immune to many things. I've tried listening to music, power napping (i.e. 30minutes), taking breaks, talking on MSN, browsing around on Popular asians D), walking around a bit... nothing works anymore. And now, I've become 99% immune to coffee! (I've had too much caffeine in the past...) And Red Bull doesn't work. I need to have at least a Venti size Starbucks coffee in order to feel some effect! >.<
If normal coffee doesn't work for you anymore, I think you might have a problem. Once you become dependent on it, then you stop drinking it, you'll get these really bad headaches, etc. Heard about a woman who became so addictive to coffee that she was damaging her kidneys cos of it. I just drink tea instead, less caffeine. If you have tired eyes, just use a face cloth, damp that in some warm-almost hot water and place it over your eyes for a minute or so. Can also wash your face as well. Works for me Avoid splashing cold water on your face, that's really bad. Also found that the cold and more air in the room keeps me awake, so open up some of your windows.
^^^ splashing cold water on your face is bad for you?? why!!?? I find that is the most effective method of staying awake. I used to pull all-niter all the time >> which is really bad for you. especially for your body ... b/c in respective view, every "body" needs a period of rest and if it continually run without rest >> your liver in particular will be faulted by it. anyways, a good way to stay awake during the night is to actually take a 30-1hr nap during the afternoon. and that nap will last through the nite. -whistle
It's something I heard on one of those TVB talk shows where the doctor gives advice about certain things. Don't remember why it's bad to be honest.
Why are you trying to finish your assignments at the last minute? One way to prevent all this late nights is to plan ahead what your assigments are and prioritise the important ones first to attack. One time manager guru has recommended that you eat an elephant one chunk at a time. Trying to eat a whole elephant all in one go!
