What's something besides coffee or tea that'll help keep me focused and awake without having any detrimental effects to my health or costing heaps?
Hard mode=no drugs or other addictive substances.

Yohimbe

Though for some people the stimulation is not at all comfortable. Sometimes it gives me a very rapid heartbeat and strong feeling of anxiety. Sometimes it is just pure bliss and energy. Sudafed (pseudoephidrine) is not quite as stimulating but seems to work fine in a pinch, plus it is not that addictive.

tl;dr get some Adderall

Work out. It stimulates your blood stream, generating a greater flow to your brain = focus and alertness.

>> No.4732279

Caffiene and stimulation drinks/pills will inevitably lead to a crash. Eat a fairly light, balanced meal containing complex carbohydrates (or any with a low glycaemic index) and your bloodsugar wil remain consistent for longer and you will become tired later.

Coffee helps, but don't rely on it to keep you up. Also, bananas do WONDERS for your focus. I eat a banana before every exam and it gives you the perfect concentration boost for those couple of hours.I'm currently sailing through my final exams with information just gushing out of my head every time I sit on.

Let me give you an example. Yesterday I started revisin at 11AM. I broke for lunch around 2 and kept working until 8. At this point I go home, have a cup of black coffee and a hearty dinner (lamb casserole with mashed potatoes and steamed veg). I returned to the library at about 9:30PM (a 20 minute brisk walk to campus) and worked solidly until 2AM, having a banana halfway along. I woke up this morning at 9:30 AM feeling refreshed and (after a cup of coffee) perky and focused.
this regime allows me to get 12 hours of work done a day, consistently, and it's good quality work, none of this staring at a problem willing the answer to make itself apparent like so many of my peers.

tl;dr, you don't need drugs, just treat your body well.

Have you never had that feeling where you complete a long run or gym session and you feel completely refreshed?
Exercise releases Endorphins which help reduce fatigue, and if you exercise more you will get tired less.

At-least its probably a better option than hurting yourself, popping caffeine pills or consuming buckets of energy drink as previously mentioned.

This is >>4732280 btw. I should have mentioned my other meals for consistency. Breakfast, 2 boiled eggs with wholemeal toast., and a cup of coffee. Lunch, baked potato with cheese and baked beans. Downing an energy drink or a coffee on an empty stomach will lead to a crash, you want your metabolism running smoothly and slowly throughout the day.

'nuff said, I think. Anyone who let's their fitness decline to that level is not very well rounded as a person, that's all I was implying.

And before you ask, I'm studying for a masters in Theoretical Physics, for leisure I write music and read about theology, I cycle 20 miles a week out of neccesity, I smoke 20 a day, drink like a fish and smoke weed at least once a week. I'm 11 stone and 6ft.

Acquisition of sex is an positive value equated to self affirmation and social validation within the cultural normative of our society. It is by no means a fundamental qualitative value (no values are), but a construct accepted by virtually all people as a result of our innate physiological sexual desires and socio-cultural conditioning. If I have it and you do not, you experience yourself as less than me. Therefore my existence threatens yours.
