What do you do to ward off sleep while studying?

<p>dr.pepper and crack... ac/dc and metallica</p>

<p>i found that chewing gum helps... i started dozing off while i was studying and i saw package of gum... it helped me stay up to take notes on the whole chapter of the textbook... idk how but it did lol</p>

<p>always set your alarm clock when you are taking naps..... i have to wake up at 5am and i usually get home from school at 5:30pm or 5 then i go to bed for the rest of the night and do my homework during my zero period lol</p>

<p>^that's actually the sleep cycle i used to have in my sophomore year in high school hahaha.</p>

<p>"Don't take a 90 minute nap! That makes you (or me at least) feel like crap. I would say about 20 minutes or so, maybe less..</p>

<p>Take a break and walk around, eat a peice of fruit? Honestly I couldn't study for more than an hour straight without a break."</p>

<p>a 20 minute sleep will wake you in deep sleep, while a 90 minute sleep will wake you during rapid eye movement stage of sleep.</p>

<p>The 20 minute sleep is counter-productive. Regardless of what you think...</p>

<p>I honestly think it depends on the person. I feel much better after a 20 minute nap. So yes maybe it is counter productive, and maybe I should consult a sleep expert to find out just how long my "cat naps" should be, but frankly I feel better after 20 minutes.</p>

<p>the best thing to do is study in an uncomfortable position so you have less temptation of falling a sleep!!</p>

<p>what i do to avoid falling a sleep while i study take a cold water shower and never lay down while studing</p>

<p>my god this guy at my school called rodolfo is always falling asleep, its kind of grose because he always has saliva out his mouth</p>

<p>i think every single person in this forum should ask andres what to do because he seems to know everything</p>

<p>good thinking rodolfo, but what do you do if the class is at the middle of the day??? in this case you cannot take a shower,,, a good thing to do in this case is to drink coffee</p>

<p>Im sorry rodolfo i didt realize you were in this forum, I think you should bring red bull to class or coffe, which I dont recoend beacuse its noy that tasty....good luck with your problem</p>

<p>.............</p>

<p>yesfederico, after you drink cofee you can go to the bathroom, and pour water in youre face.</p>
