That was because of a Territorial War in PW. If I "stay" longer in some days, I usually go AFK for a period. Hydrate - Cup of Coffee - usually Hazelnut Coffeemate with it; 1-2 Liters of Water, A large mug of soup, Nestea Litro, Mountain Dew, etc... Do not overdo energy drinks - that's borrowed time and your body will soon collect your debts. Nourishment - Try wellness stuff. A side salad slathered with some caesar salad dressing (yea not absolutely healthy but it beats chips), angel hair pasta with a little olive oil and mackarel sauteed in garlic, macaroni salad with ham and cheese, cottage cheese and bananas... nothing too heavy or oily. Light food keeps you from becoming lethargic - You can play longer and more efficiently. Don’t fight the call of nature - Before doing a dungeon run or fighting a war be sure to prepare. Do anticipate all calls of nature for an uninterupted experience. Get it out of the way first. Take regular breaks - Remember all those cute little articles on excercises in the office? Those work too. I used to have a punching bag set up nearby and I used to take 3 minute rounds on it. My mom and brother used to wonder what the heck I was doing in the computer that could make me sweat so much. If your body is sending signals - It means you're already inefficient. Time to rest up and act on it. There will be another time for gaming and when rested you'll be more alert. This is most especially true if you're a support type - you miss a critical heal and your party's toast. Unfortunately there are times... Right now my body's sending me signals to rest. I'm in the office and have been here since 6:30 am (Color Coding!). I wonder if it would be remiss if I slept at my desk, since I'm done with the stuff I need to submit before lunch (That's why I'm commenting! I've been doing reports since 6:30am)...

I used to get up once every hour just to check if my pRO blacksmith had sold anything. Now, it's happening again, this time with my Perfect World character. Sleep doctor, here I come. :P Talk about disturbed sleep cycles. I used to get up once every hour just to check if my pRO blacksmith had sold anything.

It was awesome though I had tons of fun. And yea that was when I was like 17 or something I'll never do it again. That's just my record. I'm sorta not proud of.
