I get into some nice comfy clothing, crawl into bed and fall asleep for a long period of time. Like right now, if you could 4 hours a long period of time.

Oh joy. I was lying in bed thinking "Hmm, my stomach hurts...Weird.." So I got up took a couple tums. Sat at my desk for a few minutes, took another and let it sit for a few minutes before deciding to go to the bathroom to pee. Go to the toilet. Hey! Now I know why my stomach was hurting and all of a sudden I puked a few times. It was a good puke though. Straight out, forcefully.

Now my mouth tastes really bad, even though I brushed and gargled.

When I go to work at 3am, I sometimes will take a Xenadrine pill. It's made for weight loss but it always gives me tons of energy. It's never made me lose weight, but that's probably because I don't take it enough.

I stay away from strong caffeinated items just for my long days. Sometimes, I'll have to be at work from 3am till 10pm, so I pace myself with energy drinks. Towards the evening, my body is exhausted, but I'm twitchy.
