any good ways to stay awake?
well, heres the thing. I have mid terms this week and I really haven't studied...I had one today that I did awesome on for Human resources and tomorrows marketing that I need to study for...but the thing is, I haven't slept in honestly like 3 days...lol...thats mostly my fault since last night i just felt the need to watch Sin city until 6 am after i finished studying, and the night before I couldn't help but play world of warcraft all night, and the night before I knew that I should have come home instead of going out with someone from work for a while and then coming home at like 3 and jumping on my trampoline smoking and talking on the phone until it was too late to fall asleep..Now i am in a pickel. I can barely stay awake! Like, I know i have to study but i just can't bring myself to do it....i ALMOST had a nap until it quickly turned into a crazy nightmare probably due to my lack of sleep....lol.....like holy ****, i never knew bears could run so fast....(i was eaten by a bear in it...lol).......so are there any good ways to stay awake that you guys/girls know? Its only for one more day...and i drink alot of coke regardless so it should help a bit, but would smoking occasionally make me stay awake longer somehow? or eating something?
i need help.....lol....
and i can't try to have another nap after that bear incident last time...holy ****!...lol

apples, supposedly better than caffine (sp), no personal experience with this though
also, tea is better than coffee, more stimulints in tea, plus you don't crash hard after drinking tea like you do when drinking coffee.
also, eat a lot of protien, like chicken. your mind is gonna be exhausted so it needs all the energy it can get
and take 10 min breaks after 30 mins of studying. after 30 mins of straight studying, your brain doesn't retain much of anything
also a bit of exercise can help, exercise gives you energy, so on one of your breaks, go shoot some hoops or go for a small jog, nothing to big though, cause you'll run the risk of tiring yourself out

buy my PDA 
no, but seriously, I was kinda like you when I was in Univ... although not THAT extreme.. I would wait until the LAST day b4 I had a test/exam or whatever and then study hardcore... smoking keeps you up for sure... but not like a pack in an hour sorta thing... sorta after 30mins of studying etc... take a 10 mins break (like what dan was saying) ... and drink coffee... obviously.. but drink a lot.. so you're forced to go pee like after every 30 mins of studying... it works... and study where there's a lot of light too, with no distractions and in a room where the temp is below average

coffee has one stimulate
tea can have as many as 9
plus when you're writing the exam, (depending if they let you brings anything other than water) you won't crash hard, its more like a slow steady decline.
plus you don't get body shakes with tea i find

thats actually what i do in most cases too....last time i had a huge test (2 weeks ago i think) i put a sweater on at 12 am and went outside and sat on my patio and had a bottle of dr.pepper, a pack of smokes and all my work. Since it was colder outside it kept me awake, the cigarrettes were just fun to smoke...and the dr.pepper got that horrible smoke taste outa my mouth after..i ended up getting like 87 percent on the test...=D
and btw, i am still considering buying ur PDA...lol......but i don't need to beg u for car parts anymore..hehe, i just got everything shipped in today..FINALLY!...lol....i'll pm u soon abt the pda thoug...hehe, i kinda forgot about it up until now, and then i remembered how cool it was...
hahaha, and as for the molson kick. I hate beer so it would just make me have to poop....lol
