To do this to help me not get tired

20 replies

workingfromhomerules · 10/06/2017 13:18

We are off away for the night as my mum is having my DD. Since having DD who is 14 months I am literally falling asleep at 10:30 and get so tired when I go out that I don't enjoy it too much.

I really want to make the most of tonight and although I won't be getting rat arsed I will have a few drinks and get a bit tipsy no doubt.

Is it safe to take a pro plus at the same time?

Drink vodka red bulls. You ok be alert for days Grin

Any chance you can sneak a nap in before you go?

I will have to do the vodka red bull idea because I have just been to Tesco and completely forgot the pro plus Grin

Go for sugary cocktails as well.

Don't those sorts of things make you really jittery? The opposite of how you want to feel on a night out ( and afterwards when you can't get to sleep).

Alternate alcohol with full fat coke.

Can of red bull, lots of water, spirits and sugary mixers. You'll be grand.

The trouble is I am a healthy eating and drinking sugary drinks just feels like wasted calories!

I might give myself a night off though WinkWine

We are on our way and I have just had a can of redbull (sugar free)

Let's see how the evening goes... Smile

Enjoy and have a night off of everything!

Pro plus is just caffeine so it's fine to take it and drink, utd be the same as having a vodka redbull.

You wouldn't get jittery from taking a couple of pro plus unless you don't usually have caffeine. It can make you crash when it wears off though.

Double espresso?

Calphurnia · 10/06/2017 17:43

Espresso Martini!

SealSong · 10/06/2017 17:45

You need an espresso martini (or two)

Kokusai · 10/06/2017 17:45

One pro plus has less caffeine in than a shop bought coffee.

Just start the night with an expression martini (or three)

Massive triple x post :-)

workingfromhomerules · 10/06/2017 23:33

Personally on childfree nights when mine were that age I'd take to bed even earlier!

workingfromhomerules · 11/06/2017 21:24

If we stay at home and my mum has her I still fall asleep early. It's one of the reasons we go away so that we stay up. It's so hard !!
