I'm pretty sure that your adrenaline will kick in and get you through the day... be prepared for a hard core crash after tomorrow though.  I guess drink coffee/red bull/ something with crazy amounts of caffiene and best of luck to you!!

Try to keep moving.  If you're on a post with someone else, keep a low conversation going.  Don't ever be scared to wake another person up to stand post awhile if you absolutely cannot stay awake.  As a squad leader, I was always pissed when someone would fall asleep on post, I would have stood their post if I had to.  The bottom line is you have a mission to guard the line.  Falling asleep is failing that mission.

I am also doing my exams at the moment, have 3, 2 of which are 100%! Sleep is one of the most inportant things you need to do to let your brain and body rest. You need at least 6-8 hours a night, this helps with concentration for studing. Depriving yourself isn't a great idea, might effect your studies the opposite way.

> I need to get back into work mode, which has seem to left me a long time ago.\n\nGreat! Count this as your first step towards doing something about it. This is a joyous moment! Be happy about it!\n\n> Right now I just feel like asking philisophical questions to myself, playing video games, thinking about girls, talking with my friends, and sleeping.\n\nCongratulations, David, you're normal. Welcome to the world of knowing your responsibilities and being mindful of your existence. Sorry if that sounds odd, but really I think you've partly answered your own question here already. First, though, it's obvious that you need to get motivated. Isn't being in "deep peril" motivation enough? I assume that would mean failing at school, or not meeting some other important work requirements? But what's more important? Is it girls and friends (be honest with yourself), or taking responsibility for what's important right now? Think about this, though: All those things keeping you from "entering reality" (as you put it) will still be there after your school stuff is finished. The thing that's even cooler is you'll probably appreciate them much more than you do right now. Plus, they'll still be there while you're focusing on school. It's not like one or the other. Yes, balance is the key here! Of course there's the outside chance that your behaviour is somewhat psychologically imbalanced. In this case, David, I recommend that you have a chat to a school counsellor, parent, or a local psychologist. Anyway, good luck and go get 'em on your studies! Really hope this helps.

Ah the world of shift work. I work 12 hour days and 12 hour night shifts and talk about exhausted. You need to go easy on youself and allow yourself a recovery day, especially after nights. Go easy on the coffee, eat healthy ,regular small meals or snacks ,at work  or home,since big meals can add to the tiredness. I tend to stress out a bit on the night before I start my day shifts so I take a low dose of sleep-aid, half the normal dose, on that night. I guess I am worried about waking up on time(0430), and what I am going into. (I work as a nurse in a large jail) After my first shift back I tend to relax and can sleep better. I also prepare all my meals before going back to work so I don't do any cooking at all on the days I work. LOL.

The best thing to do is to put your self to your work. do not do it just to comply with your project. do it as if you love doing it and you will stay awake. I love reading books. no matter how boring the books are i am kept awake till 4 a.m. just because i like books and reading.    Also, soak your feet in a bucket of water but it is quite not good for it was said to have mental side effects on the future.

Because having 13 hours of alseep, can be worse than having 7, depending on your age, you should hit exactly the amount of sleep you need, and you will wake up just fine, like one time i fell alseep at 3 o clock in the afternoon, woke up at about 11:30, and i was wide awake, becuase I convieniently hit the time to wake up, but then i fell back asleep to about 7, and i felt horrible, like I stayed up 10 days in a row, so try to time your sleep perfectly there is an algebraic question somewhere on the internet, but if your young, about 9 hours. if your a bit older 8, and if your very old, about 6 and a half, try to find it its like S=a*2.6937 dont ask, but its sometheing very simaler to that, i couldnt find it :&#92;

Well right now I have a project due tomorrow for school and what am I doing answering this question. I am such a procrastinator. When I get a project I say I will do it early and finish it but I always wait to the last minute. Its so frustrating when I know I could be spending time doing something I like in but instead worrying the last minute on finishing something. The other big problem is that I have to have everything just right or I go bananas and that makes it take even longer to finish something up. Well I better get back to my project I got a lot to due and not enough time.

i think you can study late at night or early in the morning. well at this time there are no distractions. people are sleeping at this time. or maybe you could study while listening to music. that's will only works if you can handle it. but that is the way i do. do not always study with more than 4 friends. because this will allow you to more talking than studying. that's why i rather to study alone. i only call a friend when i need help. then avoid strees, study with fun. that's all.

Ideally if you could take a nap would be the best.\nget off at 6pm, I would stay awake till like 12 or 1 am then get up at 7 or 8 then try an take a 2 hr or so nap at 3. \nLearn to take naps, get up earlier and then take a 1 to 2 hr nap before you have to go in to work.

When I was in high school, I was conducting a Psychology experiment and managed to stay up for 6 1/2 days.  I had heard that sometimes people hallucinate from lack of sleep and wanted to find out.  I did not hallucinate.

8 hours is recommended, but it really depends on each person. Some people can function properly with 5-6 hours and some can not. You should try sleeping less than 8 hours and see how much sleep you need.

Yes, but it depends on the teacher. I would be careful about that. When I was going to school there were these two guys that would show up about 15 minutes late everyday and my teacher at first didn't say anything until one day he asked them "why are you two late to my class everyday" they shrugged their shoulders like they didn't know and all of a sudden my teacher screamed "get the hell out of my class!". That was funny but I sure wouldn't want to be in there shoes. I would try to make it on time.

Hi, first of all I feel sorry for you. Tough hey. Try getting up little bit earlier. Don't you have spare time in between classes maybe? Tape notes for yourself and listen while taking a bath or before bedtime. Good Luck !!!!
