Editing all-nighter. What are your stay-awake tips?

Oh also chewing gum or bubble gum! Has kept me awake for many late night study sessions. There's this pack of like 100 gumballs that I buy from the supermarket and I've gone through like 50 at once on a few occasions, just because they run out of flavour kinda fast. The gumballs aren't that healthy though and only a very occasional thing. The chewing on gum keeps me awake and active. The flavour also helps a bit. So if you have any gum just chew on it for ages, might help, maybe, it works for me.

Exporting now! Woot woot. That was a 6 hour edit, preceded by another 2 hour edit/export combo for a different video. That's all pretty quick, compared to my usual pace. :)[DOUBLEPOST=1378039077,1378039052][/DOUBLEPOST]

Sleeps good for ya, They say if you get extra sleep it is a key factor to extending your life.

Dayummn, I am not gonna lie...I have never spent that long editing a video! well ehm, I just drink some coffee.....take plenty of breaks and eat tasty food ;)
 
It's something pretty silly but I learned this trick when I was passing my driving theory test: Make sure that you have a good supply of fresh air. When you do things that are tedious and stressful it's really important to give fresh air to the brain otherwise you get stressed and frustrated. So have something like a window open and keep your room ventilated :)

So important! My productivity went through the roof when I figured this out. Also: sunlight. :)
