<p>Just because falling asleep while needing to work is THE symptom of junioritis haha...</p>
<p>So besides coffee, what are your other ways for staying awake? </p>
<p>I'll start - for me, it's either a very very short nap, like 10 min, and i'd feel less tired. umm mint helps. sometimes music do too but i listen to music when i slep so sometimes it makes it worse lol</p>
<p>I thought you meant staying awake in class, for which my best strategy so far is texting a friend. -___-</p>
<p>At home... hmm. I do power naps, too. Sometimes eating helps.</p>
<p>Yeah, this is a pretty defining symptom of senioritis too!
I was just trying to get through Machiavelli's The Prince for my Euro class when I turned on some music and got on CC! I'm awake!
Yet... not doing my work. lol.</p>
<p>i have an office right next to my bedroom, and i sleep 2 floors away from the rest of my family. my bed is a mere 10 ft away sooooo, i listen to upbeat music and will play with my cats once in a while.</p>
<p>haha any more responses????</p>
<p>Yes. I get enough sleep, and that way I don't have to force myself to stay awake. Wow!</p>
<p>baelor -- well good for you! i would say that would be the best solution but unfortunately that's not the case for me...with 4 APs, and i know like a ton of ppl who take more so yeah hahahha</p>
<p>I split my sleep or sleep more during the afternoon.. getting around 6 hours and it's not really that bad. I can stay awake.</p>
<p>Coffee helps me in the morning, and then I'll splash my face with water, or try to talk to a friend so much during class, try to laugh, lol.
Laughter keeps me attentive.</p>

<p>It is the best solution, with 6 APs (my school offers no AP classes per se, so the classes didn't cover everything taught on the tests). I still manage to find the time for all my ECs.</p>
<p>If anyone I know complains about the fact that they get no sleep, I ask how they spend their time. Guess what? It's wasted.</p>

<p>Damn straight lol. With 24 hours in a day, I don't see how some people don't get at least 5 hours of sleep.</p>
<p>I had a teacher in middle school who said to put a strong rubber band around your hand and snap the rubber band couple times once in a while. The pain would keep you awake... Yeah, if anyone wants to try that one.</p>
<p>^^Word, Aero!</p>
<p>I actually never have trouble with staying awake. o_o;</p>
<p>I've never fallen asleep studying when I didn't want to.</p>
<p>lol to the rubber band idea...dunno if i'm masochist enough to try it though.</p>
<p>If you have to get up at 6 am, make sure you go to bed by 10:30. And stick to the same sleep schedule EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, even on weekends. You'll be much more rested.</p>
<p>red bull, 10 minute naps, and pretzels seem to be pretty effective.</p>
<p>hmmm pretzels, really? food makes me nappy lol</p>
<p>extremely spicy food might help.</p>
<p>For me, just resting for a few minutes does the trick. I set my alarm clock just in case I go to sleep, but I usually don't and I rest for about 15-30 mins (depending on how much time I have). It helps a lot.</p>
