Need help staying awake!!

hughesy · Nov 8, 2005

Been feeling really tired lately, and after doing a search on here seems that the gear is the cause. Anyting I can do to help? I've been sleeping like 10hrs a day and still feel tired.

If you know that the gear is the cause, I would go off of it. You have to ask yourself how much being tired is affecting the other parts of your life. Is it affecting work?
How much caffeine are you having every day?

Caffiene may be the problem. I used to drink Mountian Dew like it was water but am trying to cut back on empty carbs ( sugars ). So I drink alot of water and fruit 2 0. I will try to drink some diet sodas and coffee with splenda to see if it helps.

That could definitely be your problem bro. What gear are you currently on??? Also, I would try some green tea, I use tazo brand and drink it when feelin low? I put a couple splendas in and it taste great too me! Great health benefits from green tea also!

Damn you too. I drink Mountain Dew like crazy as well but I think I am gonna have to stop, for fear of forming deposits in my kidneys and me devolping a kindey stone. I had a buddy get kidney stones and the doc says that his excess drinking of soda was one of the main culprits. I listened to him as he passed that and it sounded like he was being tortured. I think I may swtich to "Diet". LOL!!!

I am doing sust also might be the problem,,, Seems to be worse the day after a stick. But started drinking more coffee and diet soda's seemed to help. Gonna look into getting some provigil also. Thanks

Kidney stones have alot to do with genetics also not just what you are eating. I have had my gall bladder removed because of gall stones. And my Mom and sister both have had the same surgery. I gave up Dew because it is 75 carbs(all sugar) per bottle,,, OUCH!!!
