So how do you keep yourself awake? I'm currently very very VERy tired. But i have to rush out some work so that my groupmates can get on with their part. I'm honestly simply clearing people's work and it's annoying. BUT ANYWAY!!! What do you do to keep yourself awake when burning the midnight oil? I've tried coffee. And it's really temporal for me. AFter an hour or so, my eyelids would just refuse to co-operate.

Hmm. I'm highly caffeine-sensitive, but since that doesn't work for you, you need another alternative. Some people would suggest sleep, but at different times. you have two options: 1) taking a catnap (maybe just 30min-1 hr) and then getting up to complete the rest of the work - make sure your alarm works though! 2) Sleeping early, then getting up early to complete the work. It actually works better than pulling an all-nighter. That said, however, I wonder why you're clearing other people's work for them. They should rightfully pull their own weight.

i use to drink coffee or tea. when i feel it is not taking effect, i'll take a shower. then while im doing my work, i listen to music or eat chips. i can stay up all night when i have company but when im alone, i end up sleepy. :)
