so what keeps u ppl awake during those long boring drives, boring documentation @ office or those most boring presentations etc..
which coffee ? which energy drink ... ? or lets hear some new innovative suggestions
man Im totally falling asleep now ...:ZZZ:

Chetan as far as long drives is concerned Kenny G or Enigma is the way to go & at Office its my Ipod which keeps me awake while taking calls & during presentations (trust me) me fantacising bout a modded toyota Supra....He He lol:...But my answer is Mirinda Orange / Tang Orange Flavour.

Mostly, I do not have any trouble staying awake. My work is play to me, I do not find myself getting tired. On the road I do not fool around. If I am sleepy, I pull over some place and take a quick nap.

Traveling, in a hotel, or when I am tired a good movie might keep me going. But I do not just get lost in the plot. I try to watch how the actors do their thing, I watch camera angles, lighting, I catch nuances in the dialog, I listen to how music is used, etc. It is not unusual for me to watch a good movie many times to watch the gross and subtle craftsmanship of this modern day art form.

supra sounds good to me ...:)
Im usually have monster/rockstar for all the boring stuff..

sometimes we cant take a nap .. sometimes just a quick stop to fill gas does the trick..

how about a chewing gum, or tea instead of coffee? actually the tea has kept me awake more because of the sour taste on my tongue!

taking a brisk and quick walk, helps at times!

Opps i just forgot to mention that different exhaust note files & videos on my phone also keeps me alive be it at work or when i am tired.

Coke works just fine for me. (not the white variety)

Black decaf coffee..

Goddy

Red Bull.. Gives you wings

My Boss! Who else can keep me awake during the meetings. Afterall my performance review is in his hands!!!

On long overnight drives - water, water, water, Leh berry, hard-boiled sweets, biscuits, oranges, apples, dry fruits, all in that order. No carbonated drinks, no coffees/teas, no snacking

In meetings.. I act as if I am writing down something... and I scribble/write/draw anything related to any topic that can keep my brain excited there by keeping me awake.
In one specific training, i wrote everything that the instructor told in BOLD letters trying to write in different fonts (that was an experience) and that did keep me awake! :)

Peppy music keeps me on my toes over really long drives.

Fear of the Dark
keeps me awake :D

is there such a thing as long boring drives.
