How Do You Keep From Falling Asleep?

fart wars with your crew and the would you rather game

have been known to skillfully balance my head to allow small catnaps that are interrupted by whiplash or the hard smack of my skullbone when it hits the cockpit window once the balance gives way

That gives an all new meaning to you avatar TIGV!!!

a good one is to eat a good egg burrito before the flight. right after your fart, you tell your crew you think you smell smoke.

That is too funny..was there about 7 hours ago..copilot barely survived.

Something is very, very wrong with me. I think I need to go see a dr. and have a demon removed from my gut.

On second thought...it is probably due to the Otis Spunkmeyer cookie, popcorn and egg salad sandwich diet I have been faithful to.

Play games (no, not porn games you pervs) on the laptop...

I remember an overnight flight to Brazil (9+ hours) ... at one point I thought I was the only one awake....

Fly safe!

you can always gamble away your per diem or some mean games of cribage, we are trying to set up a dvd player.

When the sun starts to come up after flying all night is when the drowsiness started to kick in....usually a nice big chew will keep me awake or the turd it gets knockin on the backdoor was enough to keep me going.

A friend of mine who flies single-pilot freight always totes around his portable DVD player and subscribes to NetFlix. Keeps him going all thru the night he says. Whats the content of the DVD's, thats all up for assumption.

I used to bring bags of trail mix and eat a very small handful every 10 minutes or so all through the night. Keeping your digestive system working seems to keep me up... that and i guess the steady source of energy.

But when that fails I have a back up bottle of Caf-Fiend pills. Each one equal to two cups of coffee. A handful of those will get your through your 32nd hour.
