Wow, I've been working on this for quite a while,
and I don't feel too fatigued yet. Here's what I tried:

  • Munch on things regularly to keep a good sugar level. I brought
    plenty of apples and bananas, and I've been raiding the bread and
    crackers.
  • Drink plenty of water. This also forces me to get a bit of
    exercise. I find I get very thirsty when I think… <laugh>
  • Set my computer to force a 5- to 10-minute break every hour.
    Microbreaks (15 seconds every ten minutes) are also useful. I don't
    find myself losing track of ideas, and I can stay on track better
    when I know regular breaks are coming up.
