PastryOfApathy Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 My sleep schedule is fucked and I woke up at 8pm yesterday and I've been awake since then. It's almost 3pm, I'm tired as shit, I got an orientation to go to tomorrow and I need to stay awake to defuckify myself. TL;DR I need to not sleep help.

Coffee gives you the temporary boost you need to get up in the morning, but when you get that caffeine crash you'll be more tired than you were when you started. And the pastry needs to keep rolling for hours yet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidewalk Surfboard Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Try drinking some tea and taking a shower, or take a short, 1 hour nap. Edited February 14, 2016 by Sidewalk Surfboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDingo Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 For the record, I was having problems feeling awake enough to do maths work today and I found a solution which worked for me and may for you 1) Start having a hot shower 2) Finish the shower by making it very cold and sticking your head under it for a generous rinse 3) Dry yourself off and throw on some fresh soft clothes Now, stay the hell awake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazerMaster5 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just watch a shitty drama while under a cozy blanket. You will totally stay awake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pignog Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I hated this shit and after years of sleep deprivation and misery I decided the only real solution was to sleep more. So I'd just try to sleep from 3pm til whenever you need to get up. This advice is prob meaningless now though since you were asking for help 8hrs ago.

Maybe you're confusing it with the notion of a 'sugar crash' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_crash Compared to the 'sugar crash', which yields a bunch of scientifically sourced descriptions, performing a search for 'caffeine crash' yields lots of online-magazines and spurious yahoo answer explanations. Since people often take their coffee with sugar...maybe they are actually experiencing a sugar crash, and attributing it to the caffeine. I've been telling people this for years. I did the research myself a long way-back time ago because I was wondering about the after-effects coffee had, if any. There are a lot of myths surrounding the beverage....

I chugged some NyQuil and went back to bed though so it's all good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
