Wotoporiously cool speaking

I can stay for as long as possible without sleep and this includes anytime of the day/night, and this happens everyday, infact most of the time I have to force myself to sleep knowing that it's important for me to have some of it.... I basically have to beg myself to sleep all the time and the only time I start feeling sleepy is from 4:am in the morning and I will wake up before 8-9 sometimes even earlier, besides that any other time I have to force myself to go to sleep and funny enough I don't have to take anything to stay awake, it's been that way for me ever since I was a little kid and I have never for once felt any effects from the lack of sleep, don't know maybe for me it's just natural.

So Mr Op our prayer points are the exact opposite, most times I envy people who just gets into bed and find sleep without having to beg or stress for it even after stressing myself on bed I might not even find that sleep until it's getting to morning.

*You can try bitter kola

*Taking a nap before work

*Try consuming caffeine cautiously, the effect can last up to 1.5 to 7.5 hours.

*Try avoiding alcohol and sedatives especially late at nights that's if you take alcohol.

Las las Consider Stimulants.

As a general rule, medications should never be used as a substitute for adequate sleep, there are side effect risks, despite their ability to keep you alert and help you concentrate.

Stimulants like amphetamines, and drugs widely used to treat attention deficit disorders, also are used in limited ways among shift workers. People with sleep disorders, like sleep apnea and narcolepsy, often use them too.

Depending on the substance, there may be risks of addiction, cardiac arrhythmia, weight changes, and mood effects.

If you believe you may require the use of medication to stay up late at night, speak with your healthcare provider about these concerns.

For people like me who are searching for the opposite of what you searching for we move.

The answer is obvious, get enough sleep before your duty time. Enough sleep means a minimum of 6 hours, uninterrupted and quiet sleep.

Or are you working night and day shift? If so , are you trying to kill yourself? There is no true wealth without fitness and health. And sleep is our body and minds natural way of refreshing itself.

A305:
1 - Avoid anywhere dark. Make sure the room is well lit up and bright as photons helps re-wire the brain to stay active and focused.

2 - Engage your brain with any activity that provides dopamine. In other words activities that stimulate your brain to want more after you finished a session. Activities such as, gaming, comedy skits and movies.

3 - Take a well rested nap in the day time.
4 - I wouldn't recommend coffee in the long run but it works.
5 - Do not engage in any activity that will easily bore you. Boredom accelerates the need to sleep. (Similar to point 2)

This is all the answers you need.
In summary, endured sleeping for 7 to 8 hours.
2. Walk around during the night as possible, don't sit down always.
3. Don't overfeed yourself, if you feel you did (feel heavy) take Lipton or coffee.
4. Take snacks like biscuits or groundnuts to work.
5. Engage yourself with fascinating stuff, things you are eager to know to keep your brain and mind away from sleep.( phone or games)
6. If you found a shower, bath.

If you can't stay awake all night, better quit that job.

Forcing yourself to be awake all night can be killing.

You'd be a sure BP patient in no time.
