I created this thread just before I went out yesterday and I was out all day. Came home knackered so I haven’t read through posts. I will do it later. Just an FYI~
I usually wash my whole face which is effective for a short while. What’s xx? Hmm interesting. I’ll have to try the cold water thing sometime. I like the idea but I get bored if the horror isn’t done well. Aye I get that. I’ve had plenty of times where a nap has killed my sleep for the rest of the night. It usually happens when I don’t want to stay up. I hate it. What an M response... Showers are way too effective. I remember when I used to do night shifts. I’d come home so tired and sleepy. But a quick shower and I’m awake for the rest of the day.
Shower and coffee makes me more sleepy... I usually go with bright lights, loud music and pure willpower to keep me awake. Although it's not that necessary since taking naps in the afternoon is a good way to ruin my body clock.
I like the idea but it’s not effective for me when it comes to reading. I’ve often fell asleep mid-reading. This is really interesting. I gotta see if it works or not. I can stay awake for a day or two as I am. After that though I think my willpower will fail me. I’ve seen a couple of cold water idea. Powdered milk is new. You mean just get it in a spoon and have it like that? I could never take a nap when I wanted to though.
Right place? You stay awake a lot? The apples is a weird one to me. Never heard of using that. Another M response. I don’t think I’ll ever use these methods. I love them movies! I’ve had coffee a lot. Can’t remember if I’ve had it on empty stomach. They don’t really do much for me. I once had coffee and energy drinks throughout the night. It wasn’t really keeping me awake. I was just drinking them to keep my mouth wet. I don’t think I could have a cold bath on them really cold days. Tbh just being naked in the bathroom when it’s freezing is probably enough to wake me up.
Oh, the Internet is full of it about the apples. I suggest that you do a quick search on apples, they do a lot more than keeping the doctors away. Here are a few links to start from, https://www.quora.com/Why-do-apples-help-us-stay-awake-better-than-coffee https://fit.thequint.com/chew-on-this/beverages-other-than-coffee-to-stay-awake-at-night https://blog.ketchupp.in/why-its-better-to-have-apples-than-coffee-when-you-get-up/
Ahh you're coffee immunised. The caffeine might have circulated too regularly that the body ceased getting stimulated by them. Is your stomach okay though ? You should have indigestion occasionally by now.
Actually, eating small doses of meat/carbs is a good way of keeping awake. The problem with coffee and energy drinks is that you're setting yourself up for a crash once the glucose/caffeine runs out. However, a slightly-higher blood sugar generally keeps your body working and active. So eat at night, but don't eat too much that you trigger a food coma/crash. Like, maybe 3 slices of ham, a bag of chips, or one packet of instant noodles every 2-3 hours. Fruit generally tends to be too sugary, so go for protein mostly, and maybe some empty carbs. (Of course, this is totally unhealthy and will definitely result in you putting on weight. But hey, you're already missing sleep, so I guess health isn't a priority at this point.)
There are certain things that are to be censored so as to preserve ones dignity...... PS:You’re better of not knowing~?
Pfft~ that’s true I guess. Though I don’t have any problems like indigestion. Never heard of this eat meat/carb thing. Will have to look into that further. Lol. Put it in a spoiler and problem solved. You can warn them not to look.
That’s all on you then. It’s something you have to try and resist. Or choose to look at. It keeps @EternalEmperorLQY safe from blame haha.
Good point. I may or may not lack the willpower to resist spoiler tags especially when they are so prominent with their blue color. *sigh* Save me from myself. I could blame @EternalEmperorLQY for being such a tease, though.
This is where I’m going to be mean, and just keep it to myself~? PS: I’ve saved you of your dilemma~ Well I personally feel worse when someone vaguely hints at something but doesn’t spoil it~~ That’s just a personal preference tho...... PPS:Who’s Nami?
But aren’t you scared she’ll come back hyper than ever. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder..
I could totally relate. I have those more than people who likes spoiling haha. But the fun thing with spoilers is when someone doesn't want it and you still tell them. Really a fun way of playing people.
Nope. Am not afraid. *shaking tremendously* I thought it was distance makes the heart go colder... I seemed to have my quotes mixed-up.
