    Yet another late night :(

    Yet another late night, unfortunately not due to late night raving but bloody essays. As usual left it to the last minute and having to do an all nighter to get them done.

    Why do I always do this? and also any recommendations on how to stay awake and focused, I seem to get distracted very easily when trying to focus.

    I don't like drinking coffee or talking any pro-plus so anything i can do to give me that 'jump start'

    I can't be the only one who hates doing essays

    you're not

    Ive been up till about 5 or 6 every night since the 7th of january trying to catch up on work (seriously, no play)!

    I've had 3 months to do a project, and I've only just started 5 hours ago - it's to be in on Friday.

    I just managed my last deadline, but looks like this one might be harder to get through. I hate using the computer for long periods of time too.

    Don't worry doode, I've been to uni twice (third time lucky) and I still leave things late - although this time I didn't leave it too late, just harsh circumstances! There's always something ;-)

    I cannot wait until the weekend where I can finally see a few friends, have a few drinks, and go to a decent night! Then it's back to the grind on Sunday to start and complete another 3 month project due for next Friday!

    baws.

    Not sure about you, but when I did all nighters I used to end up having a tab every 2 hours.. nicotine in all it's glory: it wakes you up

    not recommended for anyone that doesn't smoke through...

    Tea, Dr. Pepper, Coke and Mountain Dew if you can get it are all great for keeping you alert during an all nighter. I remember someone telling me about something in chilli's and other spicy food that helps aswell, can't vouch for it working on tiredness, it does kick a hangover in the arse though

    I had one black coffee after food, nothing else required for me to keep up till late. I usually go to sleep around 2am and then wake up early if I need to.

    tut tut, i'm clean as a whistle; dont drink or smoke ANYTHING.

    The excercise thing sounds good, all that blood rushing around the body but my i've kinda been slacking on my normal daily runs for the last month so will most likely feel more knackered tbh

    red bull/similar, cups of tea, going for a quick walk when its cold seems to liven me up

    I would suggest nicotine but you dont smoke

    All I can say is that you've never tried all night gaming sessions then and all I have is coffee, either black or white

    What about some Crystal Meth? Youll have the essay finished in minutes, which leaves you a further 3 days of awake time to do the housework and murmur stuff at planes.
