Help I'm actually falling asleep right now and I cant say awake and I need to get loads of work done. I've tried coffee, splashing my face with cold water, running round my office, the windows are wide open and its still not working. Any ideas to keep me awake?

A can of Red Bull and 2 Pro Plus - take them now and you should still be able to get to sleep by midnight once they have worn off

Wash the dishes. Women never seem to fall asleep doing that, plus you can get some work done at the same time.












Outta here!

Sudafed?

That makes you sleepy doesn't it?

Like the 'old' Contac anti histamines?

Flick the bean? Women always seem to be annoyingly wide awake post orgasm.

Strange how many people seem to believe that, but no. Ephedrine is a stimulant and pseudo ephedrines are chemically similar.

I can just picture you sprinting around the office and tipping jugs of water over your head with the windows wide open and everyone looking at you!

Would you happen to have a webcam

Knock a couple of pro plus back with a can of red-bull. You will be buzzing around in no time at all.

I have a very high tolerance for caffeine but a hit that size will still pick me up within a couple of mins.

Too much caffiene is likely to leave you feeling rather naseous though, but at that rate you should be fine.

Eating apples is the good way to keep awake, its apparently better than a cup of coffee.

Not wishing to state the obvious but you could always try posting less on pistonheads and actually get the work done...
