    How do I stay awake?

    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?!?!?

    Why not play faster songs then?

        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.

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

            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.

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

                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.

                  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.

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

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

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

                            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

                              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.
