In college we would do alot of bong hits.
oh yeah, have good snacks too.
Never found coffee to help stay awake, it just makes it harder to fall asleep.

Personally, just make sure you keep yourself occupied. TV and movies aren't the best idea. Stick with interactive stuff and it's pretty easy.crazycat said:
wow the fact that i stayed up two nights with friends just playing NHL 2006 and Battlefront 2 and going to breakfast and lunch without needing any caffeine means that you shouldn't need any either.
That might work for a while, but I'd never be able to stay awake for the rest of the night.job said:Do you have a significant other?
'nuff said.
Yeah, a few coffees and a good distraction's all it takes to keep me awake all night.
Remember kiddies, sleep if for the week.

Not to sound like a granny or anything, but do be careful about how much coffee you drink in a short amount of time. I've worked at coffee shops for awhile now and a couple times have had to call 911 to help people who have taken a bit too much an advantage of the all-you-drink policy and started having heart palpitations. One was diabetic, to be fair, and should only have been drinking decaf, but nonetheless.
Last non-academic marathon I had was fueled by Mario Kart DS and Waffle House.crazycat said:
Good luck.
Ritalin or Adderall ought to to do the job. No Doze if you're stuck with OTC. A venti Starbucks in any other case.
don't tube TV's and CRT monitors emit some kind of energy wave that makes replicates a humans alpha brain wave, or whatever it is that sends you to sleep?
should have paid more attention in physics
the ONLY time I have ever stayed up a whole night was about 4 years ago now. My father was offered a job in Ireland, just after I settled into college. I just met my future girlfriend and we were getting on like a house on fire... if thats a good thing? and we were on the ferry coming home... we missed the first one so we had to wait until the evening ferry from Dublin. my mum paid extra for cabins but I just didn't want to sleep. I was away in my own little dream world... excited to get back to Caroline, I was travelling at night (which I love) on a BOAT with a full moon overhead. It was beautiful. A Beautiful Mind was playing in the lounge and I developed an addiction to pure orange.
Got back. first thing I did was walk into town haha. my head was a mess that day. magical!
have LITTLE sugar! after the rush there's the tiredness. there are special energy drinks with some ginko something that reduces the tiredness in the come down.

Get some JOLT COLA, it has 3X the normal caffeine, and triple the sugar than Mt. dew..
You'll be bouncin off the walls after 2 cans...
Chai Tea works for me when doing papers, but I agree with others that you guys should be able to all keep yourselves busy to stay awake.
Large amounts of caffeine + sleep deprivation sounds like a recipe for massive diarrhea.

I can't stand reading this... I have thought about staying up all night, but for other reasons: I have a ton of college work to do. Staying up all night sucks the day after if you plan on doing anything productive and feeling alright. From experience I've learned to avoid staying up all night, especially when I have an exam the next day because it's very hard to function. Also, the brain apparently needs 6 hrs of sleep to remember things for an exam.
Staying up all night may sound like a great idea, but you'll definately pay for it later.
Also, loading up on Caffeine usually causes me to burn out and get real tired real fast after the caffeine wears off.
