Um...Just stay awake. There is no secret, maybe an energy drink, or 5 (5 hour energy's)
When i stayed up my first 24 hours, i was playing halo all nite (gawd i hate that game now)
So if you are doing work or something it could be alittle harder. Just remember to randomly get up and jump around like a rockstar. Works for me, and i think the Wiseguy and Zym can uh...Prove it works for me... ;)
drink so much that when you lie down you get the whirling pit and cant sleep.Quote:

Yeah, pretty much.
Taking any behavior modifying drug is a bad thing in my opinion (I'm a hypocrite here: I take melatonin supplements when I need to get up early because otherwise I'll just stay in bed with racing thoughts until 1 am - but even then it's just a supplement to what is already produced by your body naturally so it's not as bad as some stuff. And this is just preference and how I try and live my life.)
The key is to not overdo yourself. I once stayed up all night because I had to go somewhere at 4 am and in some weird corner of my mind I thought "Hey staying up all night and getting no sleep is pretty cool." It wasn't, but here's what I did: I read Fahrenheit 451 for three hours straight and finished it. It's not hard to do since the book has no chapter divisions. There are only three narrative breaks in the whole thing, and those are in thirds, and it's so easy to go to the next one. Then for the next hour I looked up some really awesome airbrushing art on DeviantArt.
splash cold water like every couple hours or take a shower
Keep your eyes open and don't fall asleep.
Only time i stay up for 24 hours is if im with a few friends playing games, or playing with them online for the whole night, other than that theirs no reason for me to stay up...
