I need help staying awake in school?!


Question: I need help staying awake in school!?
I just ran into this problem now that I started high school; I have Absolutely no time for sleep! I get about 4 to 6 hours a night, (sometimes less) and I'm just so busy with homework, and chores and such, that I have no time to sleep!. I usually make up for most of my sleep on the weekends though!.

Anyways, during about 5th period, (geometry) I have a terrible time trying to stay awake! It's just because the teacher is so boring, and it's makes it almost impossible to keep your eyes open!. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, it's literally impossible!. So what can I do, (other then getting more sleep), to keep me awake!? Caffeine's always had the reverse effect on me; it puts me to sleep!. I have also tried pinching myself as hard as possible, but that doesn't work either! Any ideas!?

Answers:
Couple of ideas for consideration!. First, unpopular a suggestion as it may be- you really don't have a defense for getting less than 8 hours of sleep!. Perhaps you should turn your attention to those "and such" items, and consider which of those can be cut down or out!. Stuff like surfing the web!?!? Also, if you are not eating breakfast or lunch, perhaps what you have here is the midafternoon crash for lack of fuel to burn!. On the other hand, if lunch is a can of soda and whatever is out of the machine, your trouble could be a sugar crash and still a lack of fuel!. Then again, it may be you just don't really want to be in geometry to begin with!. I'd be the first to admit that as a subject it's not that thrilling- however you must work to find enough gumption to keep yourself awake!. Perhaps taking notes!? Write down whatever pearls of wisdom fall out of the teacher's mouth- boring as it may be, and anything that gets written on the board!. That way, even if you do drone out, at least later when you need to review you will have what you need to do it!. And finally, have a word with the teacher and explain the challenge you face!. Lots of teachers will let you stand in the rear of the class if staying awake is a challenge!. Usually moving around a little will pep you up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
