Disclamer: I haven't slept in over a day and idk if what I write makes any sense, I will adjust it after I wake up. Sometimes I do dumb stuff and end up not sleeping, other times there simply isn't time to sleep/rest as needed(assignments and lack of planning ahead). Any advice on how to stay awake for longer periods of time(preferably functional/not in a zombie state, I'm looking for 1 and half day of not sleeping max) and your favourite way of recovering from these sleepless stretches of time(other than sleeping of course).

Edit: thank you for your replies, I woke up a few hours ago feeling better. I am going to try to properly recover today. If you have any sleep deprivation recovery tips, please let me know and remember to hydrate.

When I was studying a lot, I would just slowly eat saltine crackers. Most adults can't fall asleep while eating.

I had a very intense year of school one year and I gained some weight because of this method. Everything has a consequence.

If you're going to go without sleep, try a power nap here or there to help.
