    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.

    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.
    They cost less than £1 each he must have made loads.

    Was just about to say modafinil, but i've just taken one and i'm feeling really weird and spaced out now. Great, coursework failed.

    Low doses of methamphetamine would be the best but it is definately not worth it. Any stimulant will do the job.

    Desperate times, my friend. Desperate times.

    And most people never heard of it anyway, at least not back at that time. Would you (or anyone reading) know a reliable place to get some?

    the best part is, he knows just how badass he is.

    on topic, i would recommend ice cold, fizzy drinks and copious amounts of bananas if you feel you must do this.
