Do you perform better tired or wired (like being juiced up with alot of caffeine, energy drinks, etc)? Like if you had a large paper/project that needs to be done and it's dead late in the night, or you need to go to class when you had little or none sleep night before.

Personally, it seems I function better when I'm more tired instead of when I'm wired up with a crapload of coffee and energy drinks. Maybe my body isn't use to being incredibly wired, but atleast I can think easier and concentrate (to a limited degree) when my insides aren't drowned with stimulants and sugar. Although, I tend to fall asleep time to time and moments of inaction makes me feel drowsy, but I loose my train of thought way too often when I'm pepped up by taking way too many of these drinks.

You?

I don't usually consume those products so I don't know.

I kinda like the feeling of needing sleep too.

Wired. It's an easy choice for me, because if I'm tired and trying to write/sit through class, I always fall asleep. I wouldn't call that performing well.

I don't know but I can work best about 1-3am for some reason. So probably tired.

I come up with the best ideas when I'm tired, but I prefer to execute those ideas when I'm full of energy.

I'm most productive drunk.

Then again, most of my products are artwork.

Tired, wired I tend to skip over important things.

Neither

If I'm wired, I'm easily distracted by everything else besides what I'm supposed to be doing.. so Im going with tired.

I perform outrageously well when I have a migraine.

I can't operate very well at all tired, but even after downing a lot of coffee and Bawls I don't actually get "wired".

Wired. I'm worthless when I'm tired. Most people think I'm stoned relaxed when I'm tired.

Both. That random state where you've been awake for 36 hours but are hyped up on caffiene. You slip between total high and low. That's where I own.

When I'm cramming for an exam I try not to drink too much caffeine because I want to be able to sleep as well as possibly for the few hours I'm going to get. It depends on the situation though, if I'm pulling an all nighter I'll take the caffeine.

I worked from 9:45 AM to 2:45 PM today, then went to lectures from 4:00 PM to 9:50 PM. The last three hours of lectures were this elective I'm taking called Culture and Ideas. If I hadn't chugged a Full Throttle beforehand I would've easily fallen asleep, but since I did, I think I've absorbed much of what the prof was saying. I guess it just all depends on the situation.

Tired: Wired Magazine. They were cool once, but...

Wired, but "Brainiac" found it to be tired.

Better question: Do it early or procrastinate?

I prefer around 8-9:00 when I'm getting tired but still have a couple hours to go before I can simmer down. I generally have a Pepsi around then, which is a bit of caffeine but not muc.

Doesn't matter, as long as I'm doing it at the last minute. I thrive under pressure.

Last year for the final trimester I did absolutely NOTHING untill the day before everything HAD to be in. I did aprox 100 pages of math, 2 writing packets(one month each generally), 2 history packets(one month each also), 15 or so physical science assignments.. and i think thats all. I made 10 cups of tea that night, not so much for the caffeine(did nothing), but for the fact that it made me had to pee every 15 minutes, so i never got tired. I stayed up till 10. AM.>.>. Then I woke up at 3 pm that day and went to school to turn everything in. It was completely and totally awesome. Not only that, I made it onto the honor roll.

You sir, are absolutely insane.

WIRED.

Obviously procrastinate.

My work sucks if I do it early.

Even if it is just junior high work.

Physical labor I'm much better off being wired.

But the very best bits of my stories are written when I've been up for a couple of days...

I'm always wired. If I'm tired, I sleep, because my body is trying to tell me something.

That is awesome!

My best work comes from coffee (Alot. To the point where I'm shaking) at 1am the day before something's due.

I've gotten a high B on a book report that I didn't read and completed in class on the day it was due.

When I think back on junior high work, it seems now like a breeze.
