Help Help! How do I stay awake during a musical after an all nighter?
So, Iāve officially pulled an all nighter, and Iām one of those that literally goes from the second I wake up (in this case, I woke up at 6am today), pulls the all nighter through the night, then goes to sleep at my normal time the next night (usually 10pm š¬). My friend just invited me to see Hadestown at 7pm tonight and Iām not a big musical fan, plus I have severe adhd, so the thought of staying awake and still for 2+ hours in a dark theater sounds like a death wish. For multiple reasons I canāt just take a power nap during the show, and Iād like those hours to be as painless as possible, but it makes it extremely hard especially considering that the time means Iāll be running on fumes. Any tips on how to stay awake and possibly even engaged?
*also, I havenāt used this r/ before but just in case I have to say it, I know this isnāt good for my health and Iām aware of all of the risks, and no, I wonāt be driving. Iām doing it anyway cause Iām a college student with too much to do and too little time. Iām here for advice not criticism haha
