Can you force yourself to stay awake? / myLot

April 10, 2026 2:57pm CST

I slept maybe 8 hours in the last 48hours, because I've been super busy with a lot of business ideas. Usually I find it hard to stay awake for lengthy periods, but I was able too. Have you ever forced your body to stay awake?

I can usually make myself stay up if I have caffeine at my disposal.

I have a bit and you are right, its usually something worth staying up for. Most times it ends badly so do not do it often.

I usually get off of my chair and walk around the home to stay awake.

As an academic research writer and non-academic writer, it’s a norm for me. Starting from home, as well as my primary, secondary, and tertiary school. SLEEPING WAS & IS MY GREATEST FOE. Spoiler Alert: No Stimulants!
