Sometimes I just get so tired. My sleeping habits are weird, but sometimes I get really tired when I have things that I need to do and can't sleep. What can I do to keep me up?

Im going to be honest here when i have things i need to do but to tired to do them they usually dont ever get done until the next day LOL. But every once in a while when i need to do things i usually jsut relax a bit then do what i need to. I usually try to get everything done while im motivated to do them if not they probably dont get done until the next day if not the next.

Lol, I know exactly what you mean. I am one of the worst people about putting things off until the last moment. I tell myself that I will want to do it later, but I don't lol.

I drink coffee or softdrinks/cola to increase my adrenaline level. Sometimes I walk around to keep me awake or just eat a bar chocolate.

First of all, if you are like me, working on the computer probably doesn't help. If I am driving and I get tired, I will pull over and get something with lots of caffeine. I don't go for those more popular drinks but I will take on a vanilla cappicino if it is cold outside. When it is warm I usually drink more Mountain Dew than usual when I am traveling. If it is early in the morning and I need to wake up, I will jump in the shower. That always helps me to start my day good and alive. In the evening or throughout the day, if you need to stay awake something you might try is doing some exercise. It is sure to raise your pulse and wake you up a little bit. Good luck and have a good evening!

Coffee wakes me up and sometimes soda does too because of all the sugar that is in it... but not always... umm, they say crap like red bull helps. thats all i can think of at the moment lol ohh wait, wash your face. sometimes that helps.. or just splash some water on your face...

I listen to a nice-to-jump song... I always wake up a lil' bit lazy -well, I've been lazy all of my life, so why would waking up be any different? LOL - so I turn on my Ipod or the radio and start to sing... A really nice therapy. Happy MyLotting and have a nice day! Xp
