FOODS or PILLS or ANYTHING to keep me AWAKE?!


Question:

FOODS or PILLS or ANYTHING to keep me AWAKE?

I need to stay up all day and all night until about 5 pm tomorrow. I must study all night for this test that I'm taking tomorrow at 3pm.

Are there any foods, pills, or any other thing that I can take to keep me awake for several hours? Please help, I'm desperate, because I need to get this stuff done!

BERKY: Thank you for your input, but I'm not cramming; I'm a college student with an overload of assignments and 18 credit hours this semester. This is why I need to stay up all night.


Answers:

Well the obvious suggestion is No-doz or Vivirin which are just caffiene pills. They'll keep you up but make you jittery.

Amphetamines of various sorts are illegal but prevelant on college campuses I hear.

College was a long time ago for me, but I typically found that rather than staying up all night I was better off sleeping four hours at least and being rested for the exam. There is evidence to suggest that sleep helps to "cement" what you've been studying so that you actually remember it. If you stay up all night you may get extra studying in, but find that your brain isn't working by exam time.

And given that you have at least 24 hours between now and exam time, I think that fitting in four hours of sleep will yield a better result than pulling an all nighter.

Good luck.
