Shocked Stay Awake!

How do you stay awake?

I have to get an EEG done tomorrow and need to stay awake until midnight tonight and get up at 3 a.m. Mind you I was ready for bed at 7 last night.

So, I thought I'd ask you all how you stay awake. (Oh, I'm not allowed to have caffeine either). Don't be afraid to get silly with this thread as I may get some idea in all the silliness and hijacking. LOL.

You can do it, T, remember that dresser you've been meaning to clear out for the Goodwill? It's time! What about that pantry? You know you've been wanting to clean the nooks and crannies. Get some bubble gum and try to break a world record. Get on the phone with an old friend. Come online and talk to Koala, she's up all night, so is that lunatic, Jessiesue! What ever you do, just don't lie down or kick back in your recliner! You'll make it.

I was gonna ask the same thing???? That I would not be able to do.

I think AMN has got some good ideas. Work on something that will keep you busy. That might help you out.

Good luck!

FFM & Girlie - I think they're trying to kill me by wearing my brain down even more. LOL. Actually, they are trying to see if I am having seizures (small ones I don't even notice). I guess this is standard procedure for EEG's. I didn't know that people with MS can have MS related seizures. This was new to me and I've been doing some research on it. It is not that common and I don't fully understand it as I am on Neurontin.

AMN - I'm calling you in the middle of the night to chit chat about a bunch of nothing. LOL.

Remember I'm on Pacific time. Of course at 3 a.m. I could call one of my east coast sisters. All my sisters as well as brothers and DBF would kill me if I called them at midnight just to talk so I can stay awake.

I did think about cleaning out my closets, cabinets, etc. but it is scorpion season and I want full light when I do that. I guess I could use my art lamp or get a flood light. I also need to keep somewhat quite as DDs would be sleeping and need to go to school the next day.

Maybe I can catch up with the security guard here and walk around patrolling the complex with him. LOL.

No, no cutie pie here. He's an elderly retired military man. It could be very entertaining though but all that walking might fatigued me and then I'd want to come home and sleep.

Maybe I could prank call people. . Oh wait, that doesn't work anymore with caller ID. LOL.

When I had to have this test done, I played video games all night. Gave me something to do since I couldn't have caffine and would definitely fall asleep reading a book or watching tv.

Best of luck.
