Coffee is nasty, and it makes to much noise to make.

It’s important because there is a chance that a pen pal I haven’t talked to in for almost a month maybe be on, but unfortunately he lives all the way in Japan, so the time difference gets in the way.

I’m bad at global time tables. How many hours/minutes until you can go to sleep, by your plan?

Are you sure you can’t nap first? Or are you talking about 23 minutes, or some other super long amount of time?

No, He’ll be upset cause i stayed up. He thinks I’m going to get sick when I stay up too late.

And, I don’t want to make him stay up late because, unlike me, He still has school.

depends on how long you want to stay up for… you wouldnt want the same approach to staying up an hour that you would have for staying up for eight days… the “quick fixes” caffeine and other central nervous system stimulants will easily keep you up from 1 to 8 extra hours, but beyond that amount of time you’re better off without it.
Basically if you need to stay awake a few hours just stay busy, and don’t let yourself get too comfortable. Staying awake for a long time (more than a day) is very different. One technique involves planning the time you will be awake to involve very relaxing and easy activity the first day followed by days of increasing activity. This kind of approach can buy you 2 - 3 days, but depending on your health at some point you will reach physical fatigue and most likely fall to sleep when you finally rest. Staying awake longer than that requires a great deal of preparation. Remember to stay out of bright lights or your eyes will become tired, but also be careful not to strain your eyes in low light trying to see detail. Avoid running and other high levels of physical exertion. Keep yourself occupied with no brainer activities. And most important have a partner to slap you when you start to nod off. Still nothing will keep you awake better than being in a real and dangerous situation that takes you days to get out of…
