Try brushing your teeth and splashing your face with water; even sticking your head out of the window, maybe even stepping outside and doing a few star jumps! Don't sit for hours at the computer without breaks, or you'll come to after gazing for minutes at a time, with drool all over the keyboard and no idea what you're doing. Think about (and even list) the salient points you need to wend a path between; structure helps you not to get lost as tiredness can make you meander...

Good luck, we're rootin' for ya!

Yeah i forgot to mention the fresh air, that helps heaps when you start feeling tire. Head out the window for a few seconds will do the trick

off to make more coffee

That would be espresso maker, methinks

[I know, I know - I'm a truly sad soul - yes, I do own 'Eats, shoots and leaves']

That's a BLARDY impressive effort on the consumption though! A little heart arrhythmia enjoyed perhaps?

Watch that progression though Hollowmen - it's a grippy slope (ALWAYS up to bigger/better paraphernalia) I started with a stovetop...now I have a shiny La Pavoni - bring on the commercial 2 group machine say I!

Anyhoo - I digress, apart from coffee [drip filter being the optimum for caffeine extraction: maximum water/coffee contact time] I always keep a supply of No Doz caffeine tabs on hand. Exercise, as mentioned, works. A blast of cold night air always helped me out - that ain't such a good trick for me now, as alas, I lack Dunedin's cold night air to venture into for a quick hypothermic blast to get me through an opinion...

I guess Auckland’s rain would work…

Good luck CSL, I feel your pain (Daily, in the law library

)

No-Doz have been getting a fair bit of airplay over here, because football players have admitted using them to give them more energy.
I don't have any opinion on whether they are good for you of not.

Yahooie! Just requires a proof reading and correct referencing. Then I have to do a bit more on some journal bits I'd been writing up.

Then onto the Mother of all essays! Then a life!!!!

Btw - went for the water idea. Coffee makes me a little craaaaaazeeeeeeeee after a while. Off to bed now. Nighty night all.

the night before

The only reason that I'm awake at this time is that I'm being payed for it...

Amen the internet is more fun early in the morning wonder if CSL got it finished; I managed to do my 4k word report this morning - now I have to get onto the stupid coding project...

Man I would love to pay to surf the web

or is that a metaphor for "doing work"

Holy shit - I can't even understand the topic, let alone write about it!

Good luck!!
