How to survive a day with only two hours of sleep?
| That's not good for your health g/u/rl. Is this everday or just today?
| Don't strain yourself too much OP.
Walking usually helps me stay up.
Caffeine can be good but I find that:
A. If you drink too much of it at once you'll be debilitatingly caffeinated, and then you'll crash once it wears off, so pace yourself.
2. You will need to keep drinking caffeine if you start, until you can rest. Also it's a diuretic so you will be pissing a lot.
Try to avoid sitting still too much. And be REALLY careful driving because sleep dep is driving impaired.
| Drink some caffeine. ONLY SOME OR YOU WILL CRASH LIKE HELL. Like 2 cups of coffee or tea. Or a bottle of energy drink (dont chug it or u will regret everything. Speaking from experience). Lots of Orange juice will also help along. Power nap in between when you can.
Good luck and dont die
| If coffee doesn't work for you drink an energy drink. I only need half a can of an energy drink to stay up but you might need a bit more or less.
Good luck op. Sincerely,a g/u/rl that is permanently tired
| I really hope you make it OP. Best of luck.
| Also I don't know about your work but if they serve weak coffee that might put you to sleep.
I realize OP is probably home by now, this is now a thread for general sleep deprivation coping tips
| I sip coffee through out the day and stop near around 7pm. Not a whole lot, but enough to keep me going. I normally crash around 1am, but before I started to do this I would sleep at 6am and wake up at 9am.
| Vitamin B. It's the main thing in 5 hour engery and if used at the right time with a lil C, you'll be fine. Take a lot.
| Take 15 min napd throughout the day and IF you wanna drink coffee, try mixing it with l-theanine, it reduces the drowsiness after the caffeine wears off.
| >>180182 it takes a lot of discipline to get used to frequent naps. It can be rough adjusting your schedule.
| Ha the world is so hooked on coffee that people can't stay awake with two hours of sleep huh.

Happened to me too one sunday night and I didn't sleep for a second and still went to work. Guess it works while you're still young. It feels fucking horrible though.
| >Hydrate
OP, if this happens again, drink a full glass of water before bed, a full glass first thing in the morning, and continue to stay hydrated throughout the day.
Small 20 minute cat naps (if possible) is excellent to combat sleepless days.
>Then you may drink small amounts
>of caffeine during the day to
>keep going.
Really people recommending you energy drinks and loads of caffeine is ridiculous. This coming from someone with extremely high tolerance to stimulants.
| Stop giving advice, OP died on her way home
| Just go back to sleep fuck responsibilities
| Drink Morning Rescue
| Or start a uberman sleep schedule, at your own risk
