Hello all.
Back in 90ties when i was at IDF infantry officers course, we used to do some pushups for staying awake, but when it comes to graduation exam ( 48 hours of intense fysical exams, that maked me groggy filling, and at the very end two hours of class sitting exams...ROE, Procedures etc....nothing helped to stay awake and from time to time there was a boom - one of the graduates felt down just to meet the table with his face. I finished with my nose bleeding
Sorry for grammar, english is not my mother tongue.

Staying awake!?

For me on long drives etc. I has found that ruby red Grapefruit juice does the best.. I'm an old A.D.D guy and coffee only puts me to sleep.

I saw a movie once in which the lead cowboy was taking a really bad guy in and it took days so to stay awake one night he tied a ring of thorns around his neck, so that when his head bobbed he got stuck. Ah yes it was Bert Lancaster, but don't remember the movie. Blitz
