Tired, and need to do work... is there a convenient solution NOT involving caffine?

[Simalacrum]

Ummm...slap yourself twice, and then go on a lap around your dorm while wearing a toga.

Slap yourself in the face until your face stops hurting and your hands start.

You won't be sleepy then.

Paranoia. THE PANDA WANTS TO KILL YOU.

Get your MP3 player of choice, crank that bastard, and endure a full 20 seconds of it on full blast. It'll hurt, but it should wake you up a bit.

put you balls in ice then slap your self every 5 seconds

...can ANYONE suggest a solution that DOESN'T involve severe amounts of suffering???

Self motivation and energy drinks!

Lucozade/Gatorade?
They use glucose, not caffine.

...OR energy drinks I don't have???

pour half a cup of sugar in a glass of chocolate milk.

Works every time.

SHhhhhh!

in similair predicament, however i'm also in danger of being unable 2 see the computer screen on the basis that the big pile of relentless cans by the computer could fall over at any moment. that said i'm not the least bit tired. also while i in no way suggest trying it if you dont smoke, noccotine is nevertheless a stimulant.

Well...the music wouldn't hurt that much...
X-D
I suppose you could just find a really good song that you can get into and move around to and play that.

And if the homemade energy drink Grim suggested works, keep making them.
Hooray, I'm of little help here!

Seriously, the cold shower sounds good. Go in for five min, get out, put some very warm clothing on.

Just take a small nap and make sure you wake up at the time you want.

This has atcually tested and proved by me today. This morning I get the bus to college and I took a nap and after I woke up (With someone's help of course.) I felt alot better.

Intruigingly i did the same yesterday, only during a lecture and totally unintentionally, after a quick jab in the ribs and eyeing the person next to mes' notes i was fully awake and perky 4 the rest of my lectures.

I'm in the same situation, so I can't help. Perhaps getting off this site would make concentrating easier for me...

that would involve being sensible though. since when are people doing essays at 10.30 at night sensible people?

scream coz ur doomed... sorry, i was up at midnight last night doing my college essay lol.

Then you're a sillybilly because there are no pain recetors in the brain. Once you realize this, you can make full use of that 10^28-bit storage facility you have.

find some coke and you should be able to be awake for a couple of hours

wait, hold on... so how can people have head aches when you have no pain receptors in your brain? biology confuzzles me >_<

Hey, if I get it done it's perfectly sensible. I've almost got to the point that I can only work well at this time of night. I really need to readjust my body-clock to somewhat normal times.

Aaaaaanyway.

whey protein shake. Protein stimulates muscles and gives you natural energy without caffeine or sugar. I frequently find myself tired for no reason. My solution (and it works every time) a short cardio workout, just do some jumping jacks or running in place until your heart pounds, then drink a protein shake. The whey protein shakes actually taste pretty good, except being a bit lumpy, and they work.

Barring caffeine, nicotine. Be over 18 and buy a pack of light cigarettes.

'natural energy' PAH! nature has nothing compared to chemically produced sugar rushed. they're well worth the nervous twitches. mood swings, hyperactivity, spectacular crashes and loss of *falls asleep on keyboard* h#trnrtf
