Tips To Stay Awake While Studying.<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Drink a Lot of Water:\u00a0<\/strong>When you\u2019re trying to stay awake waters the way to go. Dehydration can make you sleepy, so keeping your body hydrated will stave off those symptoms. If you are really sleepy, drink a lot of water to make sure you stay up. If you have to get up to go to the bathroom, it will definitely keep you awake! by water I don\u2019t mean alcohol or coffee because it may contain water.<\/p>\n

Take Breaks:\u00a0<\/strong>Your brain is a complex thing but it still needs rest if you want to study hard for a long time as well as doing the best you can on your test. Schedule out your time so you can take a break try a study routine for 45 minutes, break for 15, and so forth. Set the alarm on your mobile so you don\u2019t forget (or if you\u2019re afraid you\u2019ll fall asleep). Watch a TV show, talk to a friend, read a book, or listen to some music but nothing school related at all, even if it\u2019s a TV show.<\/p>\n

Exercise:\u00a0<\/strong>Exercise can be a great way to wake yourself up take a short walk, dance to some music on your iPod (without waking up your roommates or your parents depending on where your living and the time), or head over to the gym for a little while. Taking a shower after a workout can wake you up even more (cold will wake you up but shocking the body\u2019s never good so just a general shower).
\nDon\u2019t Study Somewhere Comfortable No curling up into a nice ball on your pillow with soft music playing the background will not help you stay awake, maybe heavy metal rock will but its better just to sit on a chair back straight lamp on and revise, no pillows, no comfortableness, when your body wants to sleep yet you have to fight it comfort ability should be what your actively seeking to stop.<\/p>\n

Eat a Snack:<\/strong>\u00a0Get your blood sugar up by eating a healthy snack (junk food will just give you a burst of energy but then you\u2019ll crash and collapse for 7 hours, wake up and realise you didn\u2019t do any revision). Apples are always a good food to help you keep your blood sugar stable so you can stay awake (a lot of people say they will wake you up better than caffeine and hey its also one of your 5-a-day)<\/p>\n

Other Study Tip;<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do your work.<\/strong> Plenty of times, you get sidetracked. Avoid this by setting a constant pace for yourself: 50 minutes of work, and a 10 minute break. Besides, keeping your mind occupied will make it easier to stay awake.<\/li>\n
  2. Avoid caffeine, if possible.<\/strong> See warnings for reasons why. Drink two brimming glasses of ice cold water every 30 minutes. Not only will the cold keep you awake, but you\u2019ll need to urinate very often. It\u2019s difficult to sleep on the toilet.<\/li>\n
  3. Play (softly, if you have a roommate) hard-core metal music.<\/strong> You may enjoy it, but it must be, at all costs, harsh and a bit arrhythmic. Try to stick to instrumental music, which is less distracting. This will keep you from being lulled to sleep.<\/li>\n
  4. Work with windows open.<\/strong>\u00a0cold air will keep you awake. Warm air knocks you out. If you find the cold air is effective in keeping you awake, you can even go to the bathroom and wash your face with cold water. Only wash your face if you are getting tired, you don\u2019t want to waste studying time.<\/li>\n
  5. Set your computer screen to a lower setting, (duller and darker) so as not to strain your eyes.<\/strong> See warnings for why not to.<\/li>\n
  6. Turn off instant messengers, <\/strong>your cellphone, the TV, and do not surf the Internet, read, draw, etc. In fact, pinch yourself if you do. This can distract you very easily.<\/li>\n
  7. Do not work in bed, on a couch, or on the floor.<\/strong> If you work in any other place than a cold, hard table and chair, you will feel very tempted to sleep. If possible, work somewhere far away from your room\/bed, so it\u2019s a pain to go back and sleep. Try to be around some other people, too, so you do not feel comfortable sleeping in your chair.<\/li>\n
  8. Set a timer, if you\u2019re going to nap.<\/strong> Don\u2019t nap for more than 20 minutes, and stay half-awake. Avoid napping at all costs, though. \u201cJust 20 minutes of relaxation\u201d will more likely involve you waking up past your class the next day.<\/li>\n
  9. Rotate subjects every hour, if applicable.<\/strong> You\u2019ll quickly mentally wear out on one topic.<\/li>\n
  10. Work through it all.<\/strong> If you have time at the end, pack up your stuff, lay out your clothes, then set your alarm as late as possible, to achieve the most possible sleep.<\/li>\n
  11. Try sitting in different places around the room.<\/li>\n
  12. Remember:<\/strong> if you are tired and are completely slumping over your work, sit up straight. It could immediately make you feel more awake. Yes, it sounds silly, but try it.
    \n– Eat protein-rich foods like sandwiches, cheese, and other dairy products. Sugary foods may make you feel awake for a little while, but can eventually make you feel drowsy. Apples or apple juice also help, especially if you eat cheese with it. Apples keep your blood sugar stable so you\u2019re able to stay awake longer, some say they\u2019re better than caffeine!
    \n– Think positively. Thoughts such as: \u201cI am almost done,\u201d \u201cThis is actually not too bad,\u201d \u201cI will get to see the sunrise,\u201d \u201cI will get a good grade\u201d can definitely help.
    \n– Get scared. Sure, it sounds silly, but do it. Watch a horror movie or read something frightening. You\u2019ll be too scared to fall asleep. Do not do this if there is work to be finished, though!
    \n– Tap your feet! It may seem weird, but it helps for some people to consistently tap their feet. If it becomes a habit, it might just save you from falling asleep at those final dire moments.
    \n– Chew gum. Like tapping your feet, it keeps you awake without being distracting!
    \n– Squeeze and Massage your Ears There are acupoints on your ears, and when stimulated, send electrical signals into your brain. You\u2019ll feel buzzed immediately.
    \n– Don\u2019t eat granola, milk or lemons. These are all foods that will make you tired and sleepy.
    \n– Always have the light on. It\u2019s hard to stay awake when you\u2019re in a nice dark room.
