How To: Stay Awake Through the Night

Get a New Puppy. Dogs really can be a man’s best friend; they can also be pets from hell. Barking, peeing and whatever else they can keep you up all through the night. Dogs not your thing? Have a baby!

Avoid the Dark Force. Keep your lights on, everywhere. Make sure your place is bright as the day.

Keep It Cold. The colder, the better, and screw global warming. Crank your AC to the max and get into a bathing suit.

Keep Away from the Bedroom. Your bed, sofa or any surface that you can lie down on are your enemies.

Drink More Water. Good for your skin, water also keeps you exercising by forcing you to walk to the loo every hour. As for caffeine: it works.

Listen to Rock. Say no to pop rock or soft rock, but yes to heavy metal. Rock will never die—and it will never let you sleep either.

Run for Life. Go out and take a jog every few hours, followed each time by a cold shower. This keeps you up for anything, plus gives you a slimmer body.

Sleep during the Day. Be a lazy pussy by day so you can be a wildcat at night.
