How to stay up all night for marathon gaming sessions

By Mick Forth


Staying up all night and continuing to play for long hours on end is something that a gaming fanatic should get used to. However, it's not always that easy. While you may want to play and win your game, your body and mind may have some other ideas. This means that you may just feel too drowsy too continue or find it too difficult to concentrate. There are, however, a few things that you can do to have a successful long gaming session and make very few mistakes.

One of the most important things that you need to do is eat plenty of carbs and proteins before the big game. These will provide you with ample energy as well as keep you full enough. However, be careful and don't overstuff yourself. A big dinner or lunch will only make you drowsy and you will find it hard to concentrate.

Your breakfast should be heavy. However, your lunch and dinner should be as light as possible, especially the dinner. For your short breaks during the gaming session, try coffee, ginseng tea or candy. Make sure, however, that you do not overdo the caffeine since too much of it will reduce your concentration. It may also make you feel too drowsy as soon as the effect wears off.

For frequent gaming sessions, you should consider taking a daily multivitamins supplement so that you get enough nutrients for your sessions. Pick supplements for a healthy eyesight that contains vitamin A, B complex, C, D, and E, all of which are powerful antioxidants.

You should also consider taking fish oil in liquid or capsule form for your computer gaming sessions. These contain omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids are very good for your eyesight as well as the rest of your body.

It is true that sleep will do you good and you will be more productive with a little bit of sleep. However, you can't actually stay awake for days on end without sleeping and without falling prey to any serious health problems. So, don't let your mind trick you into quitting and dozing off.

Use bright lights since they will help you in staying awake. If you feel sleepy or just can't keep your eyes open, a splash of cold water onto the face will do the trick.
