Disclamer: I haven’t slept in over a day and idk if what I write makes any sense, I will adjust it after I wake up. Sometimes I do dumb stuff and end up not sleeping, other times there simply isn’t time to sleep/rest as needed(assignments and lack of planning ahead). Any advice on how to stay awake for longer periods of time(preferably functional/not in a zombie state, I’m looking for 1 and half day of not sleeping max) and your favourite way of recovering from these sleepless stretches of time(other than sleeping of course).

    Ditto on all the other health and safety advice. Also, please, please, please do not drive or put yourself in a position where you could harm others (like operating heavy machinery).

    Then, lights. Turn them all on. Everywhere. Full brightness. Probably close the shades so you can’t see that it’s nighttime. On a computer? Bright monitor / screen. Turn off dark mode. Also, move around a lot. Walk. Jump. Finally, make it cold. Really cold. Think t-shirt and shorts in a Siberian spring. Not blue fingers cold. Not shivering, just uncomfortable.
