Eat some food which is high in carbs, that may give you the energy you need to make it through the night, but seriously you need to sleep, you cant deprive your body of sleep, it just wont work.

I don't know if this is the best advice, but meh i tried.

I haven't slept for a while and I'm going out tonight... and want to have a good time.

What are the best things I can eat/drink/do ?

Not really enough time to sleep, only 2 hours and I think that'll just make me feel more tired.

red bull? coffee? coke?

I always get my 7:43 hours or whatever the optimum is meant to be now.

Pro plus, caffeine, Red Bull, snakebite- VK ice if you can stomach it.

I normally find the best thing to do is kind of hyper yourself up. It's really hard to do intentionally, as it's something that normally just happens, but if you can get yourself hyped up, itll take alot to bring you back down!!

thank for the help, Ill try this stuff. I think cold shower will wake me up a little!
Maybe go for a jog and do some exercises then go straight in, then it's not so bad and you get used to it.
if i was in your position, i'd just pro-plus it...

What is pro plus?

and I'd like to retain any respect my parents have of me, so no dancing to cheesy pop, but thanks for the suggestion!

Ill tell you one thing, you get drunk a hell of a lot faster if you haven't slept for a while

Foods that will give you a quick burst of energy, like bananas, carrots, etc. Although being high-glycemic, they'll also bring you down fast too. You might try something with caffeine, but really, getting a bit of sleep is best imo.

Pro plus is a caffine supplement/tablet. And at least you have respect left I lost home after returning home completley smashed. :frown:
Just get pissed, you'll be alright.

I normally find that a spoonful of coffee beans can work...But be warned use only in extreme circumstances...the high level of caffine can leave u on a tweak for hours and since it isnt diluted it works more effectively. Also be warned of its horrible taste..even though coffee can taste nice...a spoonful of coffee beans certainly doesn't
