Stay awake - No-doz, V, Redbull, Coke etc

noddy · 31st January 2008, 08:05

Was researching No-doz and came accross some entries here. I was concerned enough about some of the advice given on how to stay awake to prompt me to join the site to offer the following warning.

Be carefull how much V, Redbull, Cola etc you consume at one time. These are all very acidic and too much can burn your stomach lining off. I had a friend caught out with combining too much V and Cola, he suffered incredable stomach pain for more that 3 days and trouble keeping food down.

Hmm, amazing what you come up with when you Google something....
Never used "message boards" before, know now I should really have replied on the thread, but that was an old posting....

I found simply getting off the bike and walking around for 5 mins does the trick - kept me up and at 'em for about an hour - stopped did the same thing again...

I prefer to make sure I have a route that won't put me to sleep (ie: SH1

), and make sure that I have a few twisties to keep me interested...And I probably wouldn't go as fast as when I'm doing a short trip.

I also have some lively music playing in my helmet (ACDC and the likes...) but not loud enough taht I can't hear anything else of course...

And like MDU said, stop on a regular basis to stretch. Keeping hydrated by drinking lots of water is definitely a must.

When I travelled from Wellington to Auckland a couple of months back, I was carrying my 1 litre camel back with me, making regular sipping a possibility

...It really made a world of difference.

Oh and welcome Noddy!!!

Yep. I find that I drink so much water that I have to keep stopping to pee. Ideal time for a ciggie and a stretch. Also, always carry methamphetamine with you. Just in case......

Str8 is right, nodoz etc is old school. All the kids use P now.
