<p>I'm so *<strong><em>ing *</em></strong>ed off right now. I had to go to a Tae Kwon Do class tonight (i'm really low on classes since I missed so many from AP exams) and I had huge amount of homework to cover. </p>
<p>Only next thing I know, it's 8:00 in the damn evening and I ****ing fell asleep on my desk. Missed, class and i'll be up late again trying to finish all this crap. :(</p>
<p>Anyone know how I can pretty much eliminate fatigue in the day? I prefer not to use energy drinks just because it's only made me feel worse before but i'm sick of falling asleep in the day.
It's happened once already this week and twice last week, where i'm missing classes and not able to start my homework till late at night when I wake up. I'm missing lessons or TKD classes in the evening and there's a good chance i'm not moving up in rank because I missed so many classes. It's all a viscous cycle....wake up late, do work late, miss out on the day, try to make up for it at night and then i'm tired again the next day and it never ****ing ends! I WANT to hit something so bad.</p>
<p>I'll get back to my work, though I fail to see the point of it anymore.</p>
<p>Heh weekends? You think weekends make up for it? I sleep almost 15 hours straight on a Friday to no avail…there’s this constant tiredness that seems to be there six days a week. Weekends or not.
I fail to see how weekends help, come monday night this cycle starts over again and I can’t seem to find a way around it.</p>
<p>Try going to bed at an appropriate time such that you can wake up without an alarm clock. Sleep cycles process in intervals of about 90 minutes, so if you have to use an alarm clock, try to schedule it so that you’ll get either 6 or 7 1/2 hours of sleep.</p>
<p>Getting too much sleep makes you more fatigued, not less. On a side note, people who get 7 hours of sleep are healthier than those who get either less or more sleep.</p>
<p>And you should be getting the same amount of sleep everyday, and at the same time. Sleep binging on the weekends is a stupid idea.</p>
<p>I’d say what everybody else has been saying. Have a regular sleep schedule. Your body can get used to less sleep, but trying to totally deprive yourself won’t work. If that doesn’t help and you’re still tired all the time, get your thyroid checked. But I’m pretty sure you’re just not sleeping enough. Ice water usually works for me.</p>
<p>adderall…it works, especially during clutch times (i.e. finals). I hear meth works well, but I haven’t tried it (and there are all those rumors about bad side effects).</p>
<p>I’ve herd of meth, it seems to work well but yeah I’ve heard of side effects as well. Some of them including jailtime, loss of friends, prostitution, and death.</p>
<p>Be a man and don’t rely on drugs to get you through life unless you have a real illness.</p>
<p>Take naps, but shorts ones. And time them. Sometimes 20 minutes naps is all it takes to make you more alert and more productive throughout the day. Time yourself by setting an alarm. Even if after you take your 20 minute nap and your still tired, still wake up and in a couple minutes you should be more than awake.</p>
I read the guy’s blog about it a long time ago and it sounded incredible. I did biphasic sleeping (totally different, I know) for years and that was… interesting. It would have worked a lot better if my schedule had cooperated more and I’d been able to keep it very consistent. Oh well. Monophasic now that it’s summer, works fine of course. Consistency is the main point, I suppose.</p>
