to stay awake for a long period of time?
I just got back to school recently, and pulled (almost) an all-nighter to study for some test that was just thrown at us. At around 9:00pm yesterday, I downed a can of Nos (sugar-free kind, I only get the crash effect from sugar). I was awake, but mind felt so clogged up. In this delusional state, I couldn't study, so I forced myself to sleep at 2:30am and woke up at 6 to continue. Felt fine after that nap.
Maybe it was because I used Monsters to do this before, 60mg less of caffeine. Or the sudden jump from Monster to Nos after 4 months of minimal to no caffeine , I dunno.
How do you guys stay awake overnight to do work?

Kind of a risky shortcut, but okay.

| It's weird for me, I get real tired on the computer sometimes but if I just stay up and listen to semi-loud music I'll start to become more awake but then I feel like I can never sleep. Like I'll start to sleep at like 3 AM and it will be hard to fall asleep but happens eventually.

Right, granola bars, will try that.
I'd do sandwiches, but I study best in my room, so I try not to eat anything too crumbly. I can do granola bars just fine though.

idk man I tried an energy drink once and I just got all wobbly and had to lie down, it didn't feel good.
I can naturally marathon 48 hours no sweat, but I'll end up sleeping 20 hours afterwards.

coffee or energy drinks but theyre unnecessary for me, I can stay up a day or 2 straight without anything and still feel good enough to do stuff, I actually prefer doing stuff after staying up a whole night so that i feel motivated to complete it before going to bed.
but you shouldnt have to stay up all night to study under any circumstances, fix your fucking scheduled so you can study when you feel best, not when you feel like just droning out
oh yeah you probably dont have to study at all unless ur dumb

If you must rely on energy drinks try a 5 hour energy.
Aderol is a good choice unless your all against drugs n shit.
Loud music and pacing yourself on what you are studying builds routine.
Fix your fucking schedule if you don't have time, prob the most useful thing to do.
Not much else you can do, I can stay awake for 3 days although iam a zombie on the third.

If you live in the US, go apply for ADD meds. Super fuckin easy. It was painfully obvious that I'd be able to get the meds if I didn't even have ADD.
