playing tired

I work pretty much same hours. I sometimes nap when on the train (not usually, I read most of the time), but I go for a walk/jog/run when I get home for about 30 minutes or so.

Makes me feel a lot more energised after that, for sure.

HarbingerdrakAre you opposed to nicotine? Smoked, it's quite addictive, but in e-cig form (not sure about patches), it's not even close to as addictive, and it's quite the stimulant in low doses. Picks you up when you die from being tired, and you're much more capable the next life.
Did you seriously just suggest that he starts smoking to get better at TF2? Remind me to never ask you for advice on anything ever.

I said no such thing
How quick people are to assume. I'm nevah smokin' that cancah in my life I tell you.

Like I said though, in non-smoke form, it is only mildly addictive and is a potent cognitive enhancer. It is also a stimulant in low doses, and a depressant in high doses.

I know more about this shit than you, and as time progresses, I will know more.
And don't take my advice if you don't want to. I merely suggested to OP several effective things.

Caffeine is bad for you, mainly your heart from overstimulation. L-theanine can counteract these effects, while also acting synergistically to provide increased potency of the caffeine itself, as well as complementing the alertness associated with it.

Modafinil also requires a prescription, and can cause sleep loss --> lack of REM sleep which can --> psychosis, while you're still all alert and in the zone. Used properly, it's probably the best bet you (or anyone) has on the market right now.

*(oh, and there's no reason why nicotine patches wouldn't work...they're even time released)
**OH, and how didn't I think of this? A piece of dark chocolate will go a long way. It has a compound in it called Phenylethylamine, a stimulant that your body metabolizes in 15 minutes. You'll get a boost for sure.
(dark chocolate because higher %)

"Caffeine is bad for you"
You know that nicotin is a neurotoxin?
Nobody should take advise from someone who doesn't think an addictive toxin is dangerous.

In adolescents. Link me to an adult study.
and people somehow still think I'm suggesting smoking cigarettes.

However, I am suggesting that, for a developed brain, the cognitive and stimulant benefits of nicotine outweigh it's slight addictive potential. That's my opinion.
There will be cravings, but not the withdrawals associated with smoking because: smoking activates the weak MAOI in tobacco, thus acting as a double hammer on your dopaminergic system = perfect for addiction. That's fact.

Everyone, just decide for yourself. I do what works for me, and I assure you I'm taking precautions not to get addicticancered, and I wouldn't advise it if I thought it unsafe.

I once couldn't sleep on day for some reason, decided to play TF2 to pass the time after 36 hours of no sleeping (didn't want to go to bed at 5pm), I promptly started TF2, joined a public server and realised that the only class I had the mental capacity to play was the engineer.

I turned my PC off and read a book.

In all honesty though if you're getting tired to quickly after around 9 hours of being awake your diet may suck, eat better.

this study doesnt say that its a neurotoxin ONLY in adolescents, it just says that it is a strong neurotoxin in adolescents. by definition a neurotoxin can be any chemical that negatively affects your CNS so that includes nicotine.

why is this even being debated, if you feel the need to turn to nicotine to play a video game you need to re-examine priorities.

edit: cleared up definition, ironically im tired as fuck sorry lol
