Tackling Exhaustion?

So I've stupidly not slept for roughly 14 hours now and have work in the next 4 hours, so needless to say I'm going to be dead tired and it's going to be a horrible day for me.

So I was wondering what do you guys do to fight off something like this? What's your worse experiences involving lack of sleep?

Fire away! I'm going to go and over-load myself with some coffee now.

I'm in the process of doing that right now. So far I'm 13 hours in, and have work in 6 hours - an 8 hour shift.

Just work through it, lots of caffeine. Come home, sleeeep.

Fighting it is just making you build up more exhaustion.
I recommend lotsa coffee and 12 hours of sleep after a 48 hour session.

POWER NAP TIME.

Don't! don't drink any caffeine holding beverages it only makes it worse, it's gonna come back and hit you in the face, what goes up, eventually goes down..

the best thing to do, this may sounds weird, but get some excersise done, keep moving, if you run your heartbeat goes up wich gives you more energy, also eat a healthy breakfast and take a cold shower before leaving for work, it makes you feel much better, and try to stay busy, don't give yourself any time to rest cause it will only make you more tired.

and yeah, a powernap is good idea if you think you can get to sleep and if you've got the time, put your alarm clock on 45 minutes, and then go to sleep, you will feel a lot better when you wake up.


i have a slight case of insomnia so i have to do these things pretty often, it's 10:30 in the morning here and haven't slept either.

Good luck! i know how hard it can suck =/

Jog or Run or Sprint.
Extreme adrenaline helps you get rid of exhaustion for a certain period of time depending on who you are

I have a lot of experience staying up for long periods of time and my best advice is don't think about it. After about 96 hours, you'll start hallucinating, but just go with it, you're basically dreaming while you're awake. The experience is awesome, trust me. After about 4 days without sleep I started talking to a tree in my backyard and I don't remember anything afterward. My brother and his friend told me I was talking to the tree for about an hour, but I have no way of proving it. Apparently, when I was done talking to the tree, I went in my house, and I woke up 2 days later.

The best advice I can give anyone who hasn't slept in a while is ride that shit out. Interesting shit can happen.

Well if you are gonna drink a bunch of caffiene or red bull or whatever, remember to drink a lot of water so you dont dehydrate yourself - also drinking water also helps you keep awake...

cut yourself *hihihi*

Push-ups. Do ten every time you get sleepy.

That or do mental push-ups if you're really tired. Add sufficient amount of caffeine as well.

You ride the wave like a fucking man, or you never get on that board again.

5 hour Energy. Hours of energy now, no crash later.

Haven't actually used the product but people tell me it works

drink energy drink(red bull) work like hell. get the fuck home ASAP. eat something, the SLEEP for the entire day

Stay active it will keep you from feeling sleepy, the second you stop being active your exhaustion is going to hit you like a brick wall.

dood, the guys is exhausted already. D:

"Dick" is usually the best solution.

Well fuck me silly that was a difficult day, luckily I was rarely standing around with nothing to do. (although putting clothes on hangers does get pretty fucking tedious.)

However I feel very victorious, I might stay up a bit longer then realize there's no point and finally sleep.

Well, my worst experience was a few months ago when I was at a bachelor party for a friend one night, and the next night I went to a rave. I ended up not sleeping for roughly 42 hours.

Apparently, you start hallucinate after around 36 hours. Needless to say, that made the rave twice as epic, but afterward I felt awful for about 3 days. I wouldnt recommend trying that at all.

drink something like coffee..... or eat something that has menthol.....

but IMC.....

i make hot chocolate, work like mad, then drop like a petrified log on the sofa since its the nearest spot from the door
