When
you are in high school there will be times you stay up way too late on a school
night and you can feel yourself drifting off in class. You know the feeling.
The teacher is on another long monotonous lecture and your eyelids feel super
heavy, and all you want to do is lay your head down, close your eyes, and fall asleep. But, unfortunately, that tends to be frowned upon. So here are something’s
I have found, to keep you awake:
1)
Bring a water bottle to school with you. When
you are feeling like you can’t stay awake, distract yourself with taking a sip
of water. You might need to repeat as needed, but at least you will stay
hydrated.
2)
Tap your foot. Not loudly of course, because
that can get annoying to others. But, shaking your leg up and down will keep
you awake because at least you are moving.
3)
Hold your breath. It increases your adrenaline levels
which will make you more awake. If you are bored in class it is also
interesting to see how long you can do it. But please be careful, the last
thing I want is someone passing out in the middle of class because they were
holding their breath for too long.
4)
Standing up. Walking to go get a tissue or to
sharpen your pencil is a great way to wake up your mind because it gets you
moving around.

friend.
