Food, vast quantities of food, not snack food like crisps, but a huge dinner at 3am. I usually go with a large pizza and a lot of water. You wont crash at 4am. However itl utterly ruin your sleep pattern for the next few days, so use wisely.

Re: What is the BEST source of energy for a revision all nighter?This! Works for me, but sometimes, fear alone isn't enough to keep me awake, so when i do feel sleepy, I get up, crack open a window and do some exercise. A few pushups later and I'm wide awake.(Original post by xmarilynx)
Adrenaline generated by the fear of failure.
Other times I rely on rely on coffee (in a flask, that way I don't have to keep going for a refill) and proplus. -

last resort action tbh. If you have to, don't masturbate. Masturbation makes you sleepy.

Modafinil which also goes by the name Provigil - if you could get your hands on it. A friend at Cambridge told me of a student dealer who sold it for £10 a pill during their finals. I haven't tried it, but I do know someone who was a regular pill popper during finals who went 60-ish hours without sleep and was "in the zone", 100% throughout.

Re: What is the BEST source of energy for a revision all nighter?
Sod the revision, I want to do a 2 night all nighter(being awake 7am Friday to Saturday night, except a 2 your sleep in the early hours of Friday and probably sleeping from 4am to 9am on Saturday. I have school Friday and work Saturday.)
The NFL draft is on which is the reason for me attempting the stunt.
Any tips? -

Re: What is the BEST source of energy for a revision all nighter?
A few days ago I pulled an all nighter and got loads of overdue coursework finished! - yes i felt like death the next day but the releif of handing finished work in felt goooooood.
I literally listened to Michael Buble on full blast every half an hour or so to keep me awake. his hot voice just did it for me, ahahah. it worked though! i also had like 4324424242 cans of energy drinks.
hope it helps -
Re: What is the BEST source of energy for a revision all nighter?
-Eat 'proper' food. Junk food doesn't help in the long run.
-Have some music/the TV playing in the background (if you can revise with noise).
-Do a little exercise every couple hours or so.
-Freshen up. If you're feeling tired, take a shower. You'll feel better for it.
I actually find that the hardest part is when it comes to 6-7am. I tend to feel really rough at that point so, if I don't give in and go to bed, I drink lots of water and carry on
Just don't make a habit of this. I ended up not being able to sleep for a further two nights one time because my sleeping pattern was totally screwed up.Last edited by TheSmithsIndeed; 22-04-2012 at 23:42. -
Re: What is the BEST source of energy for a revision all nighter?
i did an all nighter once with my mates, though we weren't doing any revision ;p we each drank 2 cups of tea, smoked bud, listened to bob marley while playing hogs of war. ended up going to bed at 6:30 am and felt like utter **** the next day, but it was worth it lol, though if you are revising i wouldnt smoke the weed as you wont concentrate on the work lol
tea/coffee/energy drink is the way forward for revising.
Probly gunna get neg for being such a badman xD hahaha
.. got water and drank cold coffee. I tend to work more productively at night lol.
