Well the day has finally come. This will be my first all nighter. Not bc I got crushed crushed, got home from the office at 2 and just fucked around until about 3, 3 became 4, and now it’s 6am and the sun is up.
I work at a pretty large MM that has a strong FaceTime culture, so being in office is critical. Any tips on surviving the day?

Lots of coffee
How did you not getcrushed crushed after reaching home at 2? Pls explain
That’s the lifestyle bruh
Don't jerk off from 2am to 6am
Don’t overdo it with coffee at some point the returns diminish & you’re just left tired, jittery and anxious. Tons of water is the key. Body type dependent but I always found a little more than a gallon does the trick. Be prepared to be pissing all day.
Sleep at least a few hours every night. Those 3am-7am periods are unproductive since you work at 1mph essentially
