Sleep deprevation!!!

[Orangesauce1]

I am in the TA (teritorial army for those who don't know) I am going on a very tough course in 2 weeks which deprives you of sleep and does the very best to beat you down!!! (promotion course). Is it best to sleep less for the next to weeks and get used to it? or sleep more and be refreshed .... help me

[kate1976]

Oooh I have no idea what is best but good luck with it!

I would personally cut my sleep down by half hour a night for the next 2 weeks,but as I am an imsomniac anyway I can't do that!!

My husband is in the army and if he goes on an exercise like that he uses Pro-plus, you can buy it at the chemist and helps keep him awake. Also, I agree with WM, eat loads of carbs.

Ok, they are all really good thank you x

Are there any carb bars you can get that are any good? complex carbs that is not sugars?

Tks in advance x

I dont recommend the cereal bars as they have up to 10g of sugar per 100g, so not so good for you after all... sorry Wardy... I do recommend Berocca vits however, but they are effevescent so I dont know if you'll be able to take drinks with you or just down a glass before you start.... I used to live on them working nights from 9pm-6am and then partying on!!!....

Berocca you can get from chemists..... good luck in your quest :-)
