Let's say you're tired and sleep-deprived, but need to stay awake for at least 12 more hours. You have no money, no caffeine, no pills. You're bored with everything in your house. Your bed looks so cozy and comfortable. How do you fight off sleep?

Get a shower. That always helps me stay up.

Turn on all the lights & open all the window shades, get maximum blinding brightness going.

Become a self-cutter, nick yourself here and there, play with the blood, enjoy the endorphin-high. Take a hot shower and play the water over the cuts.

What's slightly worrisome is that I can imagine that working really really well.

Why do you need to stay awake for the next 12 hours?

Tape pictures of talipipe.jpg to the inside of your eyelids.

kingkongvsgodzilla-- switching to a new sleep schedule for a new job.

If it's a swing shift, I'd recommend just going to work and letting your sleep schedule sort itself out from there. The work you're doing might be enough to keep you awake.
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Tuesday, 4 August 2009 17:58 (sixteen years ago)
not a swing shift. I've just gotten in the habit of staying up waaaaaay too late (like 8 am) while unemployed and I need to break it.
anyway, back to telling me to punch myself in the face and fun stuff like that.

was finally ready for a lovely relaxing sleep when my neighbors decide now's a good time to use their leftover rocket launcher fireworks from the 4th of July right behind my house. if this is my last post on ilx, it's because I've been arrested for murder.
