I'm out in the wilderness on a camping trip on some unknown individuals land. Since it's dangerous to have everyone sleep at the same time here without any security, I have been posted as the first watch. It's almost two and I have until about 4 to stay up watching the fire and the surrounding area before I can wake up the next guy. The problem is that I'm really sleepy and need to figure something out to keep me awake. Reading will put me to sleep and I can't do anything noisy to wake the others up. I've got limited battery and cell data to use, and my headphones are Bluetooth so they'd drain my phone really quickly. Please give me some ideas of what to do while I sit here? Or just say something to stimulate my mind and keep me awake.
Have you ever considered the possibility that you're the only one who actually exists? If not, have fun questioning your existence for the next two hours \o/
Battery life and limited data. I don't have anything downloaded on my phone and browsing some light sites like this is about all I can afford right now.
I already assume that everyone around me is nothing more than an NPC, but they do make changes in my environment. The example would be the loud, zomby like snoring I hear a few meters away.
I've been staring into the crimson embers of this log for hours now and I'm definitely seeing something coming out.
Farm NUFfies here, or go through Daily Laughs, or Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AccidentalComedy/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/ Alternatively, play BJ here and lose so much NUFfies that u can't fall asleep.
Have fun in the camping trip. And about what to do so that you don't fall asleep... Other than hitting something now and then(it wakes you up for a short while) and washing your face sometimes so that you get better, I cant think of anything else.
Why don't you pass the time by or dabbling in some of the dark arts and crafts. I suggest making a love charm from the agonized corpses of an animal you hunted. Or you can just stare at your sleeping companions faces while they sleep all night until they wake up to see your oh so wonderful smile and red eyes.
Read a short creepypasta or something. Then you'll feel like you're not alone and you won't be able to sleep all night.
Think about an event that really pissed you off recently. Keep thinking about it. 2 hours will pass by....
Unfortunately that's what I usually do to fall asleep at home so it think it would have the opposite effect right now. Unless you have a good forest one that is...
Since you're supposed to be keeping watch, try to find a patch of dirt (or use some ash from the fire) and start drawing what you see around you. A particular tree, a rock, any landmark, etc.
It's night so I can see... Stars I guess? Not very many though since it's mostly just these tall black trees turning everything black around here.
Try to sketch a "constellation" (just make random combinations of the stars you can see until you can tell a story about it) or a scene from a movie, book, etc. that you recently read. The point is to stimulate your brain with imagery.
Turn up your phone brightness all the way. Turn off your phone screen and sit in the dark for two minutes. Point your phone screen at your eyes and turn it on as quickly as possible. Stare at it for 10 to 20 seconds. Blinking constantly is fine but don't keep your eyes closed and don't look away. You should now feel more awake for a little while. Stand up and fast-walk around a little to increase the effect slightly. Can be repeated if needed. Effects might diminish the more it is repeated. Bluer light works better. I do this with a lamp when I need to wake up at 4am. It works. P.s. It is now 1am. I can't sleep for the second day in a row. Send help... It do be like that.
