Stay Awake at Work/School

1. Take a day off and come back the next day refreshed and ready to go.

2. Staying Awake in Class.
* Bring food. candy, gum, coffee, etc.
* Write down everything the teacher says to keep your mind on point.
* Fidget. move around as much as possible. dont sit there and fall asleep.
* Think of something that you like, talk to yourself (in your mind).
* Use your laptop.
* Entertain yourself. check out the other people in the class.

DO NOT:
* Rest your head in your hand.
* Rest close your eyes.
* Lay your head down.

3. Take a nap. Aim for a short one, 20-30 minutes so you wont wake up tired. Sleep in your car on in the library, somewhere comfy. Dont make it a habit though. Your body will always want to nap at the same time everyday.

4. Exercise. do some jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups... stretch. get your energy up.

5. Take it easy. If you know you have a long day ahead of you, pace yourself.

6. Wash your face with water. Just like a mini shower.

7. Have a snack.

8. Smell something. take a whiff of some cologne or perfume. Not too much though.
