Things I have done in attempts to defy sleep:
1.Take a shower
-Works momentarily if you take a hot one. But you tend to get cozy afterwards and no way in hell will I take a cold one in winter.
2. Overdose on Coffee
Works at first but the body gets pissed off after too much and starts to reject it involuntarily
3.Overdose on Red Bull/Monster
Big failure, Energy drinks are a scam for screwed up me!
4. Overdose on Green Tea
does not work at all
5. (Not so) lethal concoction of Coffee+Green Tea
(see no. 2)
6. Eat/munch/snack
Makes me even sleepier after 5 minutes.
Plus I tend to get carried away with the munching when I'm stressed.
7. Listen to loud, angry music
(Look up: System of a Down- Chop Suey)
8. Sing out loud to karaoke tracks on You Tube
9. Chew on gum
Works, but 2 packs in a go makes a very sore jaw.
10. Open all my windows (during winter)
Shock tactic. Doing that as i type so will see if it works.
11. Jump rope
It works but you need the will power to work out in the first place, which is hard to get if you tried no. 6 just 5 minutes ago.
12. Listen to headache inducing house music
Works but you risk having your brain throb after.
13. Go for a ride with the housemate to McDonalds at 2am to get ice cream
Works especially when you head out in the cold from your house to the car but you will need a car and a housemate who wants to get ice cream at 2 in the morning in the first place.
14. Clean the house
works with procrastination?
15. Do the dishes
Depends on how much dishes you actually have in the first place.
16. Cover my bed with my work so I can't just backflip myself onto it from my desk
-Failure: i just end up curling into a ball in whatever space is available.
You'll need lots of work to cover your bed to begin with,especially if it's a queen sized bed. And chances are if you have enough work to cover your bed you don't need to be attempting any of these

17. Paint my nails and other stupid distractions
18. Tweeze stray hairs on my legs- works but there's only so much hair you can tweeze to keep awake if you're desperate for time to do your work!
Also does not work if you're one of those lucky people who are just born hairless.
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT attempt to tweeze your eyebrows in compensation of leg hair at this time, you risk going overboard and will regret having no eyebrows the morning after.

19. Blog
20. Stress myself over the limit to the point of feeling guilty when I lay my head on the pillow
_I'm stressed, but still not to the point where I have enough will power to keep my brain awake.
