PRO-PLUS PILLS: The truly instant coffee. Each pill contains 50mgs of caffeine. The instructions say take one or two with water, no more than two in any hour or 12 tablets in 24 hours. But students tend to ignore instructions. Last year, a chemistry undergraduate at Cardiff University consumed four cartons of Pro-plus (384 pills) and died.

Other options [legal and illegal] listed here...

Trev,

A solution to your problem,

Go to Old Trafford, i hear it's quieter than a Library! If you can't get to sleep there fella, well, i'm out of ideas.😀

Didn't know you were a animal lover, are you going to be sad that Van Nistlerooy is leaving? 😛:

Mate, you got an ex-wife?

Get her to call you and tell you about all her problems since you left her and moved in with that young lassie down the road. Works for me.

Also, if I want to feel good, I go and have a good crap when she calls, and I reckon she thrives on the smell, because she just keeps jabbering on and on and on and on anzd on and on aznd ozn and on anzd on anzd oznz andzz on zanzd ozzn and ozn anzzdz on aznzd ozznz and on and onzz aznzdz zoznzz aznzdzz zoznzz aznzzzdz oznzzzzzz zzzzzz...

I'd love it if birds were waking me up in the middle of the night.

Use ear plugs.

To stay awake, be physically and mentally active, get some fresh air, put cold water on your face, and drink coffee or tea or something cold. You could also try to make some chess moves - quite likely you will make some awful blunders because you are so tired, and that might wake you up... If none of this helps and you have to stay up, I find that it often helps a lot just to close the eyes and doze a little for a few minutes.

I listen to radio 4 as I go to sleep as quietly as I can but still hearing the words. Doesn't help me get to sleep but reduces the boredom.

You could also get some sheep, so that you have something to count.

That kind of love is a crime.
