keep yourself from falling asleep before you want/can go to bed?

I'm trying not to fall asleep here-
I had less than 2 hours sleep- Had to be awake to check Sarita wouldn't roll on her back - I manage to do some pages but bow was trying to stay awake .... the reading is making me more sleepy.
Ten to six pm and if I sleep now, guaranteed I will wake up at 2am and that can't happen as we have the dressing clinic tomorrow morning & I need to drive...

any ideas as to what to do ? I need at least another 3 hours awake :(
 
Coffee would be my 1st option too - followed by scrapping - reading makes me tired and cozy - or cooking? If you're up to it? Make something that will keep for tomorrow

Hope you manage to keep awake a little longer and get a good nights sleep tonight xxx
 
can't help you there Cynthia...coffee is one option and something I don't drink. I got 2 whole hours sleep last night (stress and worry stop me from sleeping). It's now 6.15 am here and my eyes are about to fall out of my head and I have to go to work.
Good luck staying awake.
 
Chocolate, lots of chocolate keeps me awake (it's probably the caffeine in it).
 
I don't drink coffee, so I usually grab a diet coke or in really sleepy times, I'll drink a diet Mountain Dew.
 
I'm a soda girl too, no coffee for me. I like the cooking idea... and scrapping usually can keep me up way longer than I should be up. That and the internetz! :P
 
Caffeine, lots of light, going outside for some fresh air, not sitting down... hopefully you were able to stay up!
 
I would vote for coffee and doing something to keep you busy. I love to read but if I do it for a while I will get drowsy and fall asleep.
 
Did you manage to stay awake? Moving around, not sitting for too long, and drinking coffee is what I would recommend.
 
thanks ladies!!!!!! yes, I did manage to stay awake another 3 & half hours after I posted...I did a bit of everything here posted apart from moving around as it isn't much possible with all my metal inside and the state my body was LOL but yes, I slept from around 8:30 pm until
9:30 am today!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not a usual for me, so I was hyper happy!!!!

thanks again, lovely ladies!!!!! so good to have you here to come to, you make my day a much better one :heartlub:heartlub:beat:heartlub:heartlub
 
I just go to bed. No sense in nodding off on the couch and have a sore neck on top of it! :giggle

LOL Petra!!!!!!!!! you always succeed on making me laugh, feel great!!!!
 
LOL I did after I held for a few hours.... the problem with me going to sleep before a certain time, is that I will wake up in the wee hours of the morning and not be able to go sleep again...then I am unable to drive (or o pretty much anything that requires concentration) that was why I wanted to stay awake a few more hours...I only got 2 & half hours awake and then yes, I slept very well!!!! :)
 
Coffee or a soda, to me sodas (specially with a ball of ice cream on top) keep me awake for HOURS!
 
should have a look at what happens with sodas...yum!!!!!! LOL

most of days I need help to sleep...but didnt want to go sleep early that day otherwise I wake up in the middle of the night...day after can't drive and I had to go hospital I think?
my memory is too bad too LOL
 
LOL! I struggle more often TRYING to go to sleep. I play lots of smart game phones.
