We have all had those times. We work late into the night, and we just cant get enough sleep. Days are boring, and you cant wait for it to get over with, You play a game of chess, and you send your rook right out of the chess board. Move your pawn to protect your king, only to prick yourself on the chesspiece. Its a horrible day, and you know it. You abruptly keep the set, and head off to bed. Wait. We’ll provide you with 20 tips on how to keep awake.

Disclaimer: None of this article should be taken seriously. Except for this disclaimer.

1. Milo. Hot Milo.

And we don’t mean drinking it. That’s lame. Dunk it over your head so you’re dripping wet. Its abit chilly, but bear with it. Human technology is well, for lack of a better word, wanting. Hot Milo is about as easily available as it gets, so don’t complain.

2. Eat a Gecko live.

Note: I do not have an infatuation with Geckos. But Geckos rock anyway. Quote Joseph Hantona:

“Geckos are the best thing invented since er… 18.2 inch monitors”.

Now just to clarify, well to be honest, we have no idea what the heck the latter portion means. But that isn’t the point of the quote, its really the gecko that matters. Well, where the heck do i find a gecko in the middle of the night? PROTIP: that’s the part that keeps you awake. Not the eating. But don’t tell h- oh wait.

3. Practice drawing a perfect circle and a perfect square

You’ll find that that’s just about impossible. But if you try too hard, it becomes a procrastination excuse. That’s something we don’t want. So skip to 4. Anyway I realize that 20 is a teeny bit long for me. I’ll do 10, then i’ll copy and paste. You don’t have a problem with that.

4. Sing some opera loudly outside your house

That’s right, scream. Studies have shown that screaming for no apparent reason whatsoever outside your house will help to keep you awake by tensing you up for a beating to your ear drums and possibly, if you do not lock your doors, literal fisting. Don’t ask me what the non literal meaning of fisting is. I have no idea. But back to the topic, sing some good opera. That or play the violin that you’ve learn’t for 4 days. Its debatable whether it makes a difference whether the irritating qualities of sound a violin produces differs between a pro and an amateur, but that is regardless of the question. If all else fails, walk to a car and kick it. That will help to get some attention, at the very least. Then sing your opera.

We all want to be successful speakers, to stand on podiums with thousands strong audiences, and deliver a speech that takes the breath out of your audience and gets your message across. Such speakers are uncommon, but not rare. It is possible to speak well. It takes effort, it takes patience. It takes the help of others, but more importantly yourself. However, we have no doubt that it will bring you much rewards.

1. Eat well the night before.

There is no doubt that eating well the night before helps. Sucessful speaker John howards once said, “eat a taco and it gives you strength to utter 10 words. eat a pizza, and hell, you could deliver a obama.” There is scientific to prove that as well. Studies have shown that tacos help to

• Provide good sleep and breathing techniques
• Invigorate every part of your body, naturally including your hearing aids
• Get you prepped to pop over a can of coke.

2. Do not twitter 30 minutes before the speech

Now, this might seem nonsensical to many of us. “what does this microblogging tool have to do with regards to our speech performance?”. That is indeed, a very good question. Twitter floods your mind with too much information, and also influences you to speak in overly short and concise sentences. Now remember, in public speaking, succintness is your enemy. You should always aim to drag your sentences as long as possible to give your audience the false impression that you know alot.

3. None of the above tips are true

Or rather, i typed them out of my head. So they might be true, but i can’t assure you of that. All i must assure you is that I bear no liability should you decide to listen to me. Thank you.
