to make a long story short, i'm having trouble staying awake in class. it's not because i don't get enough sleep, i sleep 8 hours a night on school nights. but for the life of me i can't fucking stay completely awake. it's also not because i'm uninterested in the subject. i don't know what it is, but i always find myself kind of dozing off.

my question is, what are some good pills or whatever that will keep me awake for the 6 or so hour period im at school each day? are no-doz pills the real deal?

No-Doz used to work for me on long car trips. I'd only take one pill and that'd keep me up for at least four to six hours going strong.

Also try espressos or the almighty Red Bull.

One Red Bull in the morning will keep you going for at least 6 hours, believe me. Additionally, you'll feel more alert and apt to learn.

This worked on me once. Since then, it doesn't take me anymore then an hour to fall asleep afterwards. It just doesn't work.

For me, I always come to lectures with books in one hand, and a curry puff and hot milk tea in the other.

Excedrin has like 65mg of caffeine in them...take 2 of them and thats more caffeine than red bull or jolt or any drink...plus they are really good at eliminating headaches :) Oh...didn't even see the post above mine...I LIKE READING!
 
Buy a cup of mocha with 3 shots of esspresso, each shot has around 100 mg of caffine. This is how I drink my coffee. This should keeps you wide awake.
