Staying up

[eFestivals]

vodka redbull as your drink of choice.

I had a really unpleasant experience of a caffeine “overdose” so be careful. I drank a lot of jaeger and red bull at the 2017 festival and spent the Monday and Tuesday completely unable to sleep, heart palpitations, sweating, anxiety, and serious dehydration. Sounds ridiculous, I know but it was not something I wish to repeat

I did the same a few years back at Parklife - got sick of the cider so switched to double vodka Redbull.. only thing was they added a whole can of Redbull per cup so after FIVE CANS OF REDBULL I was not in a good way. "Slept" on the sofa with hideous sweats, shivers and palpitations for hours.

Sounds like a pretty typical few days after the festival every year ?

I know, but from caffeine??! I could tolerate it if it was from something more interesting...

I use a mix of 1/4 coffee, 1/4 adrenalin, 1/4 FOMO and 1/4 realisation that it’s only for one week. 

I cannot upvote this more than once but totally does it for me. I can't hit the naughties anymore as I used to either.  

I usually die a little for two weeks after and age 5 years every time but so worth it.

Haha yeah I suppose you might as well if you're damned if you don't anyway.

Smashing loads of caffeine is horrible, you would be better off trying to get hold of some Adderall, if you only take 1 or 2 of those you shouldn't really get 'high' but it will have a lot more poke for getting you through to 4am

 

Alternatively you could grab some modafinil, it's a medication they give to pilots in the military (and people with narcolepsy) to keep them operating at peak when they've been awake for hours and hours. I used to take it when I worked night shifts, you could be awake for 24hours and just feel completely normal, not high, not tired. Crazy stuff

Just microdose instead of taking loads? About 100mg of MDMA will keep you going until the early hours without paying for it the next day.

100mg is not a micro-dose for MDMA - it's at the middle of what would usually be advised for most people as a first drop of the night (85 -125mg), and is plenty enough for most occasional (a few times a year / special event) users to see them through.

Microdosing MDMA is not really worth it - you're going to rinse all your seratonin anyway...

I'm old and most of these just sound like a time consuming way for me to get a headache.

I have to do it at a basic level - either get up late and stay up late, or have a kip in the afternoon to recharge my batteries (weather permitting as I'm not walking back up the HoD to the CV fields during the day).

Indeed, 100mg is how much I'd put in a bomb. No where near a micro-dose!
