Stimulants are designed to wake-up the user.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HTF6|HTF|Chapter=6}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HTF9|HTF|Chapter=9}} They counter effects of sleep deprivation by temporarily increasing the signal-carrying capacity of the brain's synapses. A common sign of stim-pack overload is for a soldier to be focus-locked on a specific and pointless goal.{{Ref/Reuse|HO1}}

Certain kinds of stim, known as a stimulant patch, are applied by rubbing or affixing the patch against the user's forearm until the stimulants begin to take effect.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC6|Env|Chapter=6}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC13|Env|Chapter=13}} After repeated uses, these patches leave the skin where it is applied raw.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC16|Env|Chapter=16}} This stimulation comes at a cost, however - reliance on the patches for energy leaves the user with uncontrollable shaking.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC17|Env|Chapter=17}} After five days, the user begins to hallucinate and experience other extreme symptoms, which causes that point to be the limit for how long one can rely on the patches without sleeping.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC22|Env|Chapter=22}}
During the [[Carrow Conflict]], [[Ellis Gass]], the [[Governor]] of [[Suraka]], used stim patches in excess in order to remain constantly awake and continue preforming her duties during the occupation of her city by the [[Voice of Maardoth]] and the [[Sharquoi]] controlled by [[Hekabe]].{{Ref/Reuse|ENVOYC6}} This led to the deterioration of her mental state over the course of the conflict, leaving her irritable and fatigued.{{Ref/Reuse|ENVOYC13}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC23|Env|Chapter=23}} [[Melody Azikiwe]] was also administered a stim patch by [[Commander]] [[Greg van Eekhout]] in [[Gila Station]] in order to lessen the effects of the  her recent surgery.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC12|Env|Chapter=12}}


Stimulants can be used to quickly wake a subject from [[Cryonics|cryogenic]] stasis. In one case, John-117 was given a "double dose of the wake-up stim" while awakening aboard {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} to quickly prepare for combat.{{Ref/Level|HCE|The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn}} After four days of straight fighting during the [[Battle of Installation 04]], even the Master Chief relied on stims to get him through while fighting the [[Flood]] in the [[Library]].{{Ref/Reuse|HTF6}}{{Ref/Reuse|HTF9}}
