Seeing t'other topic made me think... As I recently have been living off caffine without sleep latley, mainly 2/3 hours a night, running off caffine. Mehehehe.
Any real long term affects to this? It'sj ust something I do now and again, i'll spend time not sleeping and running off caffine drinks. I suppose it's bad for me, but is it likley to do real damage?

stimulants usually hurt because of two things:
1. Nutrition deprivation:
- Watch what you eat, stimulants usually reduce appitite, pop a few vitamins and try to eat.
2. Sleep deprivation:
- While i'm sure you arn't doing any 3+ day caffeine binges, loosing even a couple of hours of sleep continuaously for a while isn't very good for you, try not to cut into sleeping to much.
Also watch out for Addiction.
I know, sadly, caffiene can be addicting (hahaha). I've had a few friends who were addicted to caffeine. I'm sure it's a totally psychological addiction, but still something to watch out for.
Getting hooked on a stimulant is bad news. you stop eating and sleeping it's just not fun.
Stimulants are amazing things, my personal favorite, but you have to respect them.
good luck my man :cool:
Alcohol isn't compulsive.
But caffiene is.
I'll stop drinking it to stay awake all the time then. Heheh. It gets me thorugh every friday at college mind. Long day... Didn't know it was addictive. Eep.
Actually as scary as it was, it was quite fun i guess.
Anyway, caffeine. I don't know about anyone else, but i always seemt o find that caffeine and other similiar stimulants don't really affect me no matter how much i drink / consume whatever. Is this normal? I can drink coffee all day, and pop a few pro plus' but it doesn't really seem to make me any more alert / wake me up / keep me awake like it is claimed.
I'm not sure if that's a long term thing btw, I imagine it depends on how often you're taking it in really. I know you can get suprisingly bad withdrawal symptoms from it once you become dependant though - I know a girl who gets headaches and even the shakes if she doesn't drink a few cups of tea a day, it's crazy.
You might find this article about caffeine and you can find out about the importance of sleep and on the National Sleep Foundation website.

I really do not game that long... LAN party and sleeping though, that doesn't happen.
Eh, I fell asleep at 7pm yesterday. And got some sleep at last, woo. Feel better for it.
National Sleep Foundation? Hmm.
Caffiene has zero effect on me, so i'm not positive about it's effects or strength.
i have a feeling it's something geeky
Its geeky yes. But stupid fun. And I fell asleep at 7... because I haven't slept for ages and my body said "shut down!"
Yeah i hear that, i am knackered today and have had like 4 cups of coffee and nothing! i could fall asleep right now!
One thing about coffee and tea is that it stains your teeth so you all better get brushing! lol
