Tips

If you're a night owl, chances are you enjoy staying awake late into the night, playing games, reading books, or just hanging out. Staying up all night can be fun, but keeping your eyes open when alone can be tricky. If you really want to stay up all night but don't know how, try taking a nap early, playing video games, and snacking on healthy, sugar-free foods.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Explore the Phases of the Night

Knowing the phases of the night can be helpful. There is late evening (21: 00-24: 00), early night (24: 00-02: 00) and deep night (02: 00-04: 00) .I

1 Make a plan ahead of time.
- Making a plan is a helpful step to help you figure out what you will be doing. It is easier to understand what to do to stay awake than what not to do.
Advice: Make sure you don't have any important things to do the day after being awake all night, such as projects, presentations, or family reunions. You will most likely get tired and not be able to handle things as efficiently as usual.
2 Do activities throughout the day that do not cause extreme fatigue. If you play sports or physical activity, you will most likely be exhausted by the end of the day. Try not to stay awake the night after a match or competition. After such events, the body will need to rest, and, most likely, you will be too tired to stay up all night.

Method 2 of 3: Keep yourself busy

1 Have a marathon of watching TV shows or movies. Keeping your brain busy will help you stay awake. Choose a TV show with a lot of episodes or several movies that you want to watch and turn them on to stay awake. Decrease the volume so as not to wake up the household.
- If you are subscribed to a streaming service such as Netflix or OKKO TV, you can easily choose from a variety of shows to watch.
2 Play video games to keep your brain active. Video games make the brain work. Play your favorite games all night long to keep your brain awake. Try playing online games to interact with other people, as this will make it harder for you to start nodding off.
Advice: If possible, move the game console to your room to avoid waking family members.
3 Browse social networks on your phone or computer. If your friends stay up late at night, chances are they will post on Instagram, Twitter, or VK. You can also watch various YouTube videos for fun. Turn down the volume or use headphones to avoid waking other people in the house.
4 Chat with friends using text or video chat. Even if you are physically far from each other, it will be much more fun for you to stay up all night if you have interlocutors.
- Chat or video chat with friends to see how long they can stay awake. You can even arrange a competition to see who will last the longest.
- Be sure to turn your phone volume down or even vibrate so that you don't wake anyone up with your ringtone.
5 Stock up on snacks to eat throughout the night. Since you won't be sleeping all night, chances are you will get hungry at some point. Bring some snacks to the room. Avoid sugary snacks as they can cause your body sugar to drop and you will fall asleep.
- Fresh fruit, crackers, and a mix of dried fruit and nuts are all hearty snacks that don't contain too much sugar.

Method 3 of 3: Cheer Up When You Feel Fatigued

1 Drink coffee to stay awake. Coffee contains caffeine, which means it will invigorate you and help you avoid feeling tired. If you're feeling tired, try drinking one cup of coffee early in the night for a refreshing boost.
- If you don't normally consume coffee, do not drink more than one cup. Drinking too much can make you shiver or even more tired.
2 Don't lie in bed or make yourself too comfortable. While your bed may seem like a great place to sit and relax, it will signal your body that it's time to sleep. Stay out of bed and don't lie on a very comfortable couch if you don't want to fall asleep. Better sit in a chair with a back.
- If the room only has a bed, try placing some pillows on the floor to create a comfortable place where you won't feel sleepy.
3 Splash some cold water on your face to invigorate. If you start to feel very tired, go to the bathroom and run the ice cold water.
- Place a little water in cupped palms and splash it on your face until you wake up again. This will shock your body and make it harder for you to fall asleep. If necessary, you can repeat the process a couple of times per night.
- Try not to splash water all over the bathroom.
4 Play sports to keep you awake. Exercise is a great way to let your body know it's time to invigorate. If you feel tired, do a split (jumping in place with a change in the position of the arms and legs) and several lunges. Try to exercise until breathing becomes a little harder to speed up your heartbeat. This will allow more blood and oxygen to circulate throughout the body, which will help you to invigorate.
Advice: ripping will cause a lot of noise. Better to do squats or push-ups if you don't want to make too much noise.
5 Take off your pajamas to stay awake. When we put on our pajamas, we send a signal to the body that it is time to sleep. Put on clothes that you usually wear during the day, such as jeans and a T-shirt, to subconsciously tell yourself that it is time to be awake.
- You can even wear shoes if you want to signal your body not to sleep, but to be active.
6 Do not turn off the lights if possible. In a dark room, you are more likely to feel sleepy. If possible, turn on a bright light so that you don't just give up. If you cannot leave the lights on because other family members can see them, take a flashlight and do not turn it off while you are awake.
- Overhead light is more invigorating than wall or table lamp lighting, as it tends to be brighter and stronger.
