green tea is the best!Originally posted by nightzip:chocolates is good, but be careful become fat ahh...
so always have chocolates together with hot green tea or chinese tea. it has more caffeine than other tea and even coffee, according to my sec 4 science project... -
i think less actually... in a cup..
tea has higher concentration per unit weight..
but less tea per unit weight is used in brewing a cup than coffee..
so that cup of coffee will have more caffeine

Ssssshhhh... nebbermind one! Your teacher didn't realise it!
Hmm... but how? You misled all your classmates! -
Most of the time, I am awake and alert when I'm on night duty. (Unless it's PMS or that time of month or I'm ill.)
I keep awake by keeping busy. Also, walk around a lot, it helps. Go out of the ward for some fresh air (but these days, it's more like bloody hot, humid air... yucks!)
Talking to your colleagues help. So does singing along to the radio.
And... talking about men and relationships and love and sex... that DEFINITELY helps!!!
Maybe, that's why we often crack dirty jokes when we're on night duty! -
when im studying and i feel sleepy.. i will stand and study, even if i sleep while studying on table.. i will wake up 2 - 3 mins later.. if its on bed studying.. next morning wake up.. lmao
-
If I'm sleepy but have to study, I'll walk up and down, from my living room to my kitchen, memorising things, repeating them...
I find it very useful to read up, understand, memorise the points, then pretend that you're teaching a class and spill out everything you've learnt because if you can do that, it means that you have a good grasp and understanding of the subject matter already.
And oh, I love a cuppa Hot Chocolate from 7-Eleven's at my workplace when I'm on night duty... always perks me up! -
My mummy sends me packets of sliced and dried Yang Sheng ..... chewing on them helps too ... ..... but got to be careful how much you eat though .... it's very "heaty" ..... too much will cause constipation !!! ....

Try and get some caffeine pills from your pharmacy. Alternatively, get some sleep. You should be able to get by on 3hr/nite for a least a week. Can't see you saving any more time than that.Originally posted by Fatum:as above ..... what do you eat, drink or do to keep awake ? ...... in the office .... late at night ? ......

Actually, not having enough sleep for a prolonged period of time is not healthy.
And, as you age, the ill effects of too many late nights will manifest itself.
Like the saying goes, 'Early to bed, early to rise; makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise!'
(I'm paying lip service only... I keep late nights and have erratic sleep patterns too! Eh, erratic, ah! NOT erotic! ) -
i am surprised no one suggested
"watch horror movie...like Ju-On and The Ring etc" -
that will be the day if Rhonda gets erotic sleep patternsOriginally posted by Rhonda:Eh, erratic, ah! NOT erotic! )
