Anyone know a way of not falling asleep?
Well once again I am sat the night before coursework has to be handed in with still an absolute ton of work still to do and it's looking very like i'll not to bed tonite at all...anyone know good ways to keep yourself from falling asleep??? I'll be breaking out the Red Bull energy drinks at 3:00am, and I;ve also gots lots of donuts, but if anyone has any other good ideas - I seriously want to hear them!

don't close your eyes!!!
seriously, I can't sleep.
I've got serious insomnia, it just comes naturally to me, I get to a point where I'm really tired, but once I get passed that I'm fine, but that's not usually voluntry, I usually fall asleep through exhaustion.

I'm with sky here. I am just a natural insomniac. Try lots of red bull and watch an episode of tf as that will wake you up (well it wakes me up to a degree)
I was almost in the same situation as you but I was able to finish sooner than expected. I learnt SQL in only 3 hours

Ok, well i just broke out the first can of Red Bull...I have three pieces of work to write up (each one is going to take roughly an hour), then I can go and get some sleep.
Don't suppose anyone here knows anything about dendrochronology or lichen growth rates or radiocarbon calibration???
Well these jammy donuts I got earlier are almost pure sugar - so another of these should do the trick :>

Lots of sugar, stay outta Lazy Boy recliners and get some wood. I'm serious about the last one. Just think about some hot girl. Keeps me awake at night when I'm laying there in bed(And no, I don't get fimilar with Mary Palm and her five sisters with the last thought).

Watch The Exorcist--You won't wanna sleep then.
Shoot yourself in the foot--I hear it helps.
Blare music as loudly as you can stand it--Done it for me
Down absurd amounts of caffiene and sugar--But you might be too hyper to do anything useful.

Get into sleeping habits of going to bed at 7am the day or two before deadlines... once you break your sleeping pattern, it's much easier to continue doing so.
BTW, downing a pint of strong coffee is worth about six cups spread through the evening. I usually add hot chocolate powder and sugar to make it more palatable.
Punk music is also a good thing.
Drink lots of cold water.
Make sure that when it's over, you set aside time to recover, otherwise you'll break after too much repetition of the above.

Cheers for all your advice guys...
Well you'll be pleased to hear that I got all of my work done (JUST!!!) and it has all been handed in at university.
I'm now completely shattered and after I've posted a few more messages on the baord I'm gonna go to bed to get some sleep

I usually don't have trouble staying up. I sleep better in the cold. I usually think of how important the assignment is, and how bad it would be if I didn't finish it. The fear that it induces keeps me wide awake. Of course, you can also give yourself a one hour nap. That usually helps me before a long assignment.
