Yikes I have a crazy class schedule too so I know how you feel. There are days where I am at school for 11 hours and it sucks. Other then caffine, I would
At School:
*Eat Mints: It actually is proven to help you stay awake (a little bit) and help your brain focus
* go to the bathroom or drinking fountain and splash cold water on my face.
*Even though it sucks.. try to stay in a COLD area. When people are cold it tends to them awake.
*MOVE AROUND every once in a while. Keeping the blood flowing helps
At Home:
*AVOID eating big meals. Eating big meals actually makes people sleepy.
*Take a cold shower (that helped me last night)
AVOID: Warm cozy areas, drinking warm beverages, and being in a comfortable location like lying on the bed.
One other thing I can think of that helps SOME people is to play music. Play like upbeat music. NOT SLOW SONGS. :D I hope this helps! Good Luck!!!...Show more
