How do I stay awake?

DDR poser · 12-16-2006, 05:09 PM

Well, this may seem wierd, but any time I play songs that are easy and/or slow (ex. Trip to the Moon, Come With Me, etc.) I literally start to fall asleep. It screws me up, and I haven't even AAA'd Trip to the Moon yet!!! It's even worse if I have the headphones on!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!! What the heck do I do?!?!?

(Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I'm still new to the FFR forum and I assumed that this would fit here)

Why not play faster songs then?

DDR poser · 12-16-2006, 05:13 PM

Well, I suppose I could do that...but I reeeeeeeeaaaaally want to AAA some of the easy songs.

**LovelySwimAngel** · 12-16-2006, 05:15 PM

I used to do that but then I started playing a lot more difficult/challenging songs. I only have 2 AAA's. :P But I'm cool with it.

DDR poser · 12-16-2006, 05:16 PM

Used to do easy songs to AAA them, or used to fall asleep?

**LovelySwimAngel** · 12-16-2006, 05:34 PM

I used to try to AAA easy songs. XD I got stuck with a couple goods though. Lol. It was annoying. But I'm happy playing hard songs. Easy ones got boring for me.

**MerKa** · 12-16-2006, 05:50 PM

I don't have any AAA'd songs and I'm proud of it.

**Megmo** · 12-16-2006, 05:52 PM

If you really want it you will stay awake and get it. It sometimes takes me hours to AAA something. I once played Soul Shift for 2-3 hours straight. You just need determination.

**Tasselfoot** · 12-16-2006, 07:42 PM

um. concentrate... listen to the music... enjoy the music while playing the songs...

or just don't play them. i've never had any trouble playing easy songs, even now when I know that I'll AAA them every single time I play them.

DDR poser · 12-17-2006, 06:36 AM

Well, the problem IS that I listen to the music. It puts me 2 sleep. Mabye I just haven't gotten enough sleep lately.

God'sGuru17 · 12-17-2006, 10:27 AM

Mabye you should have a cup of coffee by your side. =)

**G.S.M** · 12-17-2006, 10:38 AM

Stay warm, take your time, don't rush it, follow the song.

That's how I AAA some easy songs...

DDR poser · 12-17-2006, 04:46 PM

Thanks for your suggestions guys! (_8^(|)

hiyu64 · 12-18-2006, 08:45 PM

IMO I think being half asleep when you play an easy song is actually good.
My first 5 or 6 AAAs on easy songs were done when I was half asleep O.o

coeaglegreenearth · 12-18-2006, 10:20 PM

Only song Ive AAAed was like Living in America on Heavy, LOL, AAAing stuff is too annoying IMO, once i get an AA, i stop trying for a higher grade.

Stupid...2 great...quasar (yes i suck)

Wisteria · 12-20-2006, 01:34 AM

AAA X-Dreamer Final Cut! That song is easy. For me that is. Or stay awake by drinking Soda with caffienne or coffee. lol.

**itmorr** · 12-20-2006, 04:34 AM

Pretend there are dots in the middle of the arrows, and try to hit the dots as accurately as possible.

wickedawesomeful · 12-20-2006, 03:51 PM

Caffiene pills. Energy drinks. Espresso. Whatever.

DDR poser · 12-22-2006, 07:30 AM

lol, yeah. thanks

p.s. GO ONE HANDERS!!!!! i'm one too

**nestlekwik** · 12-22-2006, 08:26 AM

Obviously you need more sleep. Play in a well-lit area and that should help too.
