Anyone
got any tips for staying awake for the next 30, better make it 35, hours? In such a way that I'm not monged out on redbull or coffee, and doesn't involve the insertion of aubergines into inappropriate body orifices?

scratching your palms with your other hand works in the short term,
but in reality don't stay up for 35 hours, it's fucking stupid.

I
agree... however rather heavy deadline coming up on Sunday/Monday morning and I don't really have a choice.

I'm going to be sat here scratch my palms like... like... a lemur with a skin problem

Pro Plus don't really do much.
Hot coffee is better than energy drinks, as you actually have to get up to make it.

Fresh air is good.

Er... Speed?

I'm
sat drinking two pints of tea at the moment from a thermos... that'll help for a while.

Proplus mixed into redbull with coffee grounds?

Speed
Cheap, dirty speed.

I find it works wonders, and doesn't make you mongy

When
you're buying my remaining furniture off me and telling me its for my own good?
(Zapiola zip-zap-zop, Fri 22 May 2009, 14:25, Reply)

And
buying your teeth to make keys for a doll's house piano.

Half a mo, I appear to have actually weirded myself out, there.....

You want to steal my teeth?
Like some sort of trenchcoated tooth fairy???

That's harsh...
...calling him a fairy.

He's about to yank your teeth out - use some caution.

Fair point
It has got me wondering though - how many dolls house piano keys could be made with one set of human teeth? It'd depend on the size of the doll house piano, but say it was 3 inches long. 5?

Why
do I have the feeling that at some point in the near future I'm going to be confronted by Mr. Monty Boyce with a brick wrapped in felt and a handful of loose change, come to extract his purchase?

Bastard.
Now you have ear-wormed me and I am singing 'Monty Boooooyce...Monty Boyce.' to the 118 118 A-Team tune.

Smart
I've always wanted a theme tune.

Staying physically active makes a huge difference
and take showers, go out for a walk at sunrise, keep the music upbeat etc.

I do this occasionally when I want to reset my body clock, and it works wonders. Just make sure you stay awake until close to your normal bedtime the following day, and try to get yourself up to an hour's extra sleep a night for a week or two, and you'll be slinky.

Not a bad plan

(Zapiola zip-zap-zop, Fri 22 May 2009, 14:29, Reply)

Got a good amount of sleep before if you can
Keep busy. Don't work near a bedroom. Take regular breaks outside, light exercise. Showers work well - not a bath though.

Eat well, but not too much. Avoid alcohol. Don't use stimulants until you really, really need them, otherwise you'll get used to them. Naps will be unavoidable - schedule them, 15 minutes every 3-4 hours.

No sex or masturbation, it just makes you sleepy

I'd stay the hell away from naps...
It's perfectly possible to stay up overnight until the next night without reporting to tempting naps :)

Thats true
I've done it before.

Just as long as I don't lose it and try to sacrifice something/one to the rising sun I shall make it.

Massively looking forward to Monday. I shall drink till many bad things happen. And then I shall drink again.

Guaranteed
1. Get cellphone
2. Set alarm to go off every 20 minutes
3. Set to vibrate only
4: insert into rectum

Hm

Nothing like a small electrical fire in your anal cavity

Catch a bus to somewhere 100 miles away, burn your shoes and wallet, start walking home.
