as for staying up, i don't think i've done more than one night but i've done many of them. during frosh week i was rowing, waking up at 4:30, and i wouldn't get home until about 2am-2:30am. i started hallucinating on a drive home (i saw a dog run across the road then looked at it and it was just a rock on the side of the road lol.) so i decided to stop rowing until frosh week was over.

as for coffee, i drank some while in europe and loved it but i haven't found much good stuff here so i don't drink it all that often

oh god, the driving hallucinations are the WORST. I only wish i could get such vivid hallucinations when im tripping on shrooms. The weird thing about them is that not only do you see things that aren't there, or ARE there but they're merely benign objects, you also always think that whatever/whoever it is is aobut to do something stupid and jump out in front of your car. I always think that mailboxes are people aobut to dart out in front of me, or reflectors in the guardrails are oncoming headlights coming straight for me.
The worst one ive had was i thought the reflectors on my side of the road were the reflections off the taillamps of a cop car, and that he was pulling a U turn right in front of me. I SLAMMED on my brakes and skidded to a complete stop before i realized that it was all COMPLETELY in my head.

Thank god for rumble strips.

I know what you mean. Last year I had gone a day without sleeping, then the next day i was up till 4am, and drove me and my friend 2.5 hrs back to our college when I started hallucinating. I would hear people talking to me, see people on the side of the road, even had a bear jump across the road right in front of me.

so you drove on shrooms.... good one dumbass, i'm not going to lecture anyone, just letting you know i think that was probably one of the dumbest things you could have done while on shrooms.

anyways, a tip for anyone doing engineering, labs take longer than you expect, so don't leave them until the night before. i did that for the past 2 (my first 2) labs, on was my fault the other wasn't. anyways, i've pulled 2 all nighters and 1 near all nighter (as in an hour of sleep). also, the second all nighter was a sunday night. friday night i didn't get much sleep because i had to wake up at 3 to go on a 3hr drive for a regatta (rowing), then the next night i went to bed at about 3 (maybe later) and woke up at 6am to drive back(still drunk but i was a passenger), then i pulled the all nighter. let's just say, i didn't get anything out of those classes, i handed in my lab, then went to my car to nap, slept in my car through my first class (3 hours later), then i woke up, went to my second class, passed out as soon as i sat down, then went to my third class and actually wrote donw notes (it was the only class i actually need to listen in)

meh i work 6a-6p mon-fri and I don't drink one damn energy drink. The only time I ever drink a MONSTER is when i have vodka. And for the last month i've been doing pretty good on my 12 hour days with no lunch, however i think its catching up to me.

Well, I got a Dew Fuel right now...

Red Bull gives you wings!



*Red Bull does not actually give you wings, it just helps temporarly restore energy and fatigueness. *

Something like that now because someone tried to jump after drinking it (editted on commercial) haha

[ghostrx7]

like what, gatorade?

In my experience, sports drinks don't help give new energy, just maintain or preserve energy you already got. Makes you get tired slower, but doesn't give you any new energy...

if that was your question

I stick to eload, it's a product from a smallish canadian company where it gives you back your electrolytes in the right ammount (as in the ratio that you sweat them out) and it gives you energy in the form of devtrose, which is absorbed much quicker than the fructose that's used in most other energy drinks. it also doens't taste as strong, which i like.
