What are some methods you can use to stay awake?

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!!!

Set a plan for a short nap then start on your waiting. So you wont feel tired and wont need anything to keep you awake. Not having enough sleep can ruin your health.

Here my 5 step plan .....to stay up 5 hours.....

.#1 take a 5 nap at 8PM

.#2 wake up and take a 5 minute shower.....

.#3 do your favorite 5 minute exercise......

.#4 eat 5 Oreo Cookies....

.#5 wash them down with 5 Hour Energy Drink.....

Take 5 min breaks every 1/2 hour......

YOUR GOOD FOR 5 WIDE AWAKE HOURS

Take deep breath so your brain gets more oxygen, itll wake it up a bit

anything that gets ur heart racing - will keep u awake - mild stress, excercise or just washing ur face w cold water

eat less for dinner

take a short shower(if u don't have extra time for it just wash ur face with cold waster)

100% agree with Grant advises!

Blast loud music as loud as your speakers let you. Stretch your eyes open until you hear popping sounds. Turn the lights up blindingly bright.

For me its to be on meth or ecstasy
