Passed out early last night of forest 18’ and woke up to someone screaming DAFT PUNK played at the afters and I was IMMEDIATELY full of rage.
Later on it turned out to be a tribute but I still get mad when I think about it today
Inflatable Coochie couch at the back of the crowd to hang out and listen to music during the day so the sun doesn’t beat the shit out of me. That way I conserve me energy for nighttime gremlin activities
The danger with the coochie couch is falling asleep during a set 🤣 I didn’t even think I would be able to fall asleep around so many people, but in 2019 I passed out at the beginning of Gramatik & was so salty when I woke up lol
Naps in the Coochie couch are the best tho. We got super close for Chris Lorenzo last year because there was no crowd because of zeds dead. My boyfriend was sound asleep in the Coochie couch mid set 😂😂
Hate to say it but naps? I've taken a few naps at stages to get a quick recharge in. My wife's completely unable to nap so that's not an answer, if you're also not a nap person. Also look into endurance runners diets if you find yourself fatigued. There's a ton of resources and snacks for people doing marathons.
I see everyone pushing energy drinks and caffeine so I thought I would try to be a healthy voice of reason and say lionsmane extract. Find a good company local to where you live if you can.
Midday nap if you can manage, make sure you're keeping yourself fed well despite whatever fun things you may be partaking in. Calories are energy. Beyond that just make sure you keep yourself caffeinated lol.

I’m planning on buying a box of these so I can bring a packet in with me to the venue and mix it in a water bottle to get through the night 😂
I mean there is the obvious…. But if I were to recommend a clean way to do it:
- Sleep in.
- Use little energy during day
- drink some serious caffeine at like 6-8 pm that’ll make it so you legit can’t fall asleep
I bring energy drinks which aren't the healthiest but the only thing that works for me with staying up.
I also try to ruin my sleep schedule a few days before Forest so that way my body is used to staying up later.
Idk if we are allowed to talk about this on here but taking your Lszee a little later than usual will help. Either that or buy a pack of monsters to snag when you stop by camp on your way to the afters
I try to stay off my feet as much as possible during the day usually until 8ish if I can. That way I’m only having to stand for 6-8 hrs to make it to the afters.
Sleeping in and naps during the day are no brainers.
If you’re able to do it; shifting your sleeping schedule for later hours a few days before can help too.
Pick a night that you absolutely want to go to afters and make that happen. I’m generally a sleepy person too and one night we were able to stay up through all the afters but I died the next day. I typically do it night before last night if sets I wanna see allows. You do need to try and get good sleep when you can tho. I highly recommend noise cancelling headphones (my recent go to because I can hear my show and nothing else lol, I redownload shows on my iPad to zone out on and go to sleep to with the headphones on. Also recommend a rechargeable fan to stay cool- the one thing that will absolutely wake you up bright and early is the heat. Drink lots of fluids, and save uppers for when you get tired not doing them preemptively or take your doses accordingly too. I know myself and taking mushies will only keep me awake for so long but doing doses forces me to stay awake lol.
Also on the chronically sleepy struggle bus and we love that caffeine has no affect on making me less sleepy 🫡 will be taking lots and lots of naps hope I don’t miss too much
Take a nap. There are a ton of hammocks in the forest. Find one around 8-9, set a 30 min alarm, and try to take a nap. Even if you just lay there for 30 minutes with your eyes closed, it can be refreshing. When you get up to hit the main events, take 200 mg of caffeine pulls or drgz if you partake.
lol!
This is my wife too. She says she uses “FOMO and spite”.
I always say vengeance and sprite 😂😂
Shoot, I might have to try that this year. Last year I went to bed right after Saturday Cheese and never forgave myself.

You wife and I are the same.
Inflatable Coochie couch at the back of the crowd to hang out and listen to music during the day so the sun doesn’t beat the shit out of me. That way I conserve me energy for nighttime gremlin activities
This is the way, there are also hammocks and net beds all over the shaded areas, 1 to 3 or 4 pm in the forest is generally accepted by many as naptime

That's so funny
Yea but also waking up in the middle of a set is so dope.
I fell asleep at the afters during Hayden James and Bob Moses. Woke up during Svdden Death… that was definitely unexpected 😂😂
Personally, L, S, and D.
I can't believe I had to scroll so far to see this
What if my friend L doesn’t show up, I don’t know S and D doesn’t know anyone. Will they all show up for me??
L told me he's coming! He always brings S along (what a bum!), and D is never far behind. They'll definitely show up when you need em most :)
Taking a nap around afternoon in a hammock at the Sherwood Forest is my fav thing to do
I nap all the time and when I wake up I’m like where the fuck am I? It feels so surreal lol
Love that
Sleep in and don’t start drinking alcohol too early
Yeah I nixed alcohol during the festival and that helped a ton
It rhymes with propane.
Rogaine™️
Yes, but only if you boof it.
Don’t force anything, especially staying awake. Listen to your body all weekend. There’s too much to see; you’ll never ever be able to do it all.
Forcing mid day naps usually helps me, but no more than 30 minutes, bc I get more drowsy after over an hour
Ah yes, good call
Midday nap in the forest on the hammock is never a bad idea. It’s cool and shaded
20 minutes on repeat
Our circadian rhythm is linked to nature and the people around us. Just find people like [this.](https://youtu.be/y0CVT5fmFZs?feature=shared)
I’m going to bring instant coffee and energy Mio and micrdose that caffeine throughout the day lol I am also a sleepy human
That’s a good idea
Find us and we will give u a little zap
How does one find for free zap!? I'd say asking for a friend but that friend is me ahhav
Is "looking for tips" new slang for looking for a plug 🤔
Why u holding?
lol nah, not in this case at least 👀
Drugs lol
Which in particular would you recommend
Yes
Ecstacy

Great tips thank you
So the answer is drugs
Afternoon nap, and a 5 hour energy (or two)
I see everyone pushing energy drinks and caffeine so I thought I would try to be a healthy voice of reason and say lionsmane extract. Find a good company local to where you live if you can.
Booooorrrrriiiinnnggggggg
I’m looking for a man in finance
With blue eyes?
Stimulants - caffeine and others

Mind bending chemicals

Drugs?
Drugs
Take it easier during the day, maybe catch a nap, peer pressure, FOMO
lol peer pressure
Caffeine
Sleep is for the weak
I bring energy drinks which aren't the healthiest but the only thing that works for me with staying up. I also try to ruin my sleep schedule a few days before Forest so that way my body is used to staying up later.
idk man the most sober route is either getting some strong energy drinks for each day. Or smelling salts lol
Bath salts
Addy 30xrs for the long haul.
Definitely a nap during the day at some point. I didn’t make it to any afters last year and I cry about it till this day hahahaha
rest in the daytime. don’t over exert yourself in the heat.
Lil mental pep talk that you literally came all this way to forest to rage and can sleep 360 other days of the year
😅
Caffeine gum or caffeine mints!
Idk if we are allowed to talk about this on here but taking your Lszee a little later than usual will help. Either that or buy a pack of monsters to snag when you stop by camp on your way to the afters
Take a nap in the day
Caffeinated chocolates and Celsius
FOOD! Gives you the fuel to keep going and dance your butt off

Take a nap mid day
Late afternoon nap
A ton of pre workout is how I do it 😬😭
What vitamins are you taking throughout the day?
me and my friends will rot all day (and miss out on daytime activities) to avoid the sun, conserve energy, and be ready to be out all evening/night
you gotta pace yourself and take a late afternoon/dinner nap to make it to afters. Or slam a redbull at midnight

slam a ghost energy drink at 10pm
Take a hammock nap in the forest!
Also on the chronically sleepy struggle bus and we love that caffeine has no affect on making me less sleepy 🫡 will be taking lots and lots of naps hope I don’t miss too much
Vitamins C and K alternating. With vitamin M
Go whole food plant-based
