It wont. Coffee increases your heart rate (so you can't sleep) but your body nonetheless produces hormones that make you tired so you'll just feel more fucked up.
Source: Me. More than once because I am an idiot. -
Just want to echo what's already been said: get enough sleep. Chronic sleep deprivation is one of the worst things you can do to yourself short of some sort of wasting addiction like smoking. It causes poor mental and physical health and makes you unable to get anything real done when you're awake.
Get. Enough. Sleep. -

C0D4669376yless then 6 hours gets tiring in its self, no amount of coffee will keep you awake long term, ive tried.
-
lxmcf199536yEveryone is on the right track, it's better to be well rested and push a deadline back rather than hurt yourself with the lack of sleep to be on time, you need to come first man...
Plus it's not good. I drank way too much coffee in my life to the point I struggle to function day to day without 4 coffees a day minimum, it's not fun my dude -
lxmcf199536y@R1100 not really, just sort of makes me normal tbh, else I just struggle to stay awake

bahua128036ySleep deprivation has been linked to Alzheimer's. Mentally "checking out" ten to fifteen years before your death.
Get enough sleep. Your mental health depends on it. -
icycrash6836yMonster. 7 a day and you can move down to 4 for 3 days but a big warning it will trigger panic attack symptoms
-
What @icycrash said, stronger energy drinks (monster, redbull, hell) can temporarily get it down
What ive been doing is sleeping 4-5 hours 3 times a week and then sleeping 9 on the weekend
(Yes im just scrolling down your posts) -
Eh, i could be a responsible adult like everyone in this thread, but it cant hurt to try. Been doing this for ~5 years
-
icycrash6836y@ganjaman I do 1-2 hours of sleep twice a week. I'm up to 10 cans of monster a day. It sucks. But shit needs to get done.
-
icycrash6836y@R1100 I'm 23 and I wouldn't recommend it especially if you have to drive. It's hard on your body and there is no catching up on sleep. Doing this gets you so wired up it's like a permanent panic attack.

C0D4669376y@icycrash “but shit needs to get done”.
I like you’re style, but if it don’t get done in the 8 hours of the day I’m paid for, shit don’t get done today. -
C0D4669376y@R1100 challenges? If I’m almost complete then sure I’ll keep going, but I’m more meaning work and deadlines.
I’m in a position, that deadlines are my making for the most part. so if I want to push something back, I’ll push something back rather than give my self a heart attack from mass energy drink consumption.
back when I was 18-20, I was having 6 red bulls by 9am and they actually didn’t help after a while - I was still half asleep, you grow a tolerance to them, so it was back then I decided to sleep more then 3-4 hours a day.
Deadlines are just “expectations”, and very rarely in any place, will all those expectations be met on a regular basis. -
icycrash6836y@C0D4 my boss sees deadlines as if you don't get it done your fired. So I try to get my part done by the halfway point so it's others jobs on the line.
-
C0D4669376y@icycrash I used to work for a guy like that and I started raking up 16 hour days.
But you get a to a point where it’s your mentality vs them even giving a shit.
it isn’t worth it in the long run, and there’s always more work in the world.
Now I’m down to a 9-5 gig with a lot of concurrent projects, but at the end of the day, if somethings not done, it’s not done. -
R-C-D157496y@C0D4 i like your manifesto !
Standing like a man! Wish I can be like you some day

bahua128036y@icycrash
That shit is unacceptable. You can make a living AND be healthy. Don't let some asshole out-of-touch manager try to convince you otherwise.
Losing sleep will shorten your life, and that's a stone-cold fact. -
I guess you could smoke crystal meth to stay up.. but then sleep deprivation would be the least of your worries
-
taglia5716yNo offense, but this is the dumbest topic I've seen since I joined devrant.
Get enough sleep. Learn to sleep well (follow your sleep cycles, as someone already said). If you have problem with deadlines, try to find the source of the problem.
Unrealistic deadlines? Fuck them, and fuck who set them.
Realistic deadline but you can't get them? Find where you waste your time.
AND SLEEP. -
@icycrash and crazy bikers with machetes and hand grenades, not to mention the helicopters.
Hey devs!😀
Will drinking coffee help you reduce your sleeping hours?
I'm used to sleep 6-7 hr but still need more time , wondered if I can reduce it to 4 hr with drinking more coffee.
Any pointers?
