Any tips? other than being on certain 'medications'...

I always go with the expectation that I'll be able to stay out late in the SE corner, but with all that walking and then a few drinks, I'm done by 10/11pm. 

Just keep telling yourself you're at Glastonbury. Keeps me awake all night and all day.

When we've wanted a late night we've downed a redbull in one straight after or headliner, then sipped another as we make the trek across site. It does enough to get you through the transitional phase til you land somewhere that will keep you awake anyway.

 

Works for us - we are in our 50s, illicit free, and struggle with latest? But have made it through to 5am like this.

I must be wierd, but Glastonbury keeps me buzzing ... can stay out until sunrise, with no illicits and no redbull ,,, although I am defo trying the redbull trick now, can;t believe I've not thought of that before - what about pro- plus, wonder if they would work ?

I use sweet things - a choc topped flapjack really hits the spot at 3am, or a crafty pocket snickers just to keep me getting on with things late doors. 

Red bull is terrible tasting stuff and I'm not going anywhere near narcotics at a festival - too much drug-induced psychosis at my workplace ta, I don't want it in my social life too!

Both of us also hate the taste of red bull - but it does the job.

Monster is nicer in my opinion and comes in 500ml cans.

Going to holland and barrett tomoro any reccomendations for staying awake! Red bull just make me wee and illegal drugs are no go due to much of picking up up the pieces at work! Oh and have an allergy to alcohol which just makes sleep! Sugar and glucose are the usual method! Need to work beteen 8pm and 4am stewarding! So excited i get a pink high viz!
