Staying awake in class is a struggle that every student would’ve gotten through. Given all the homework and CCA and shit, getting ample amount of sleep every night is a distant dream. Hence, Goodyfeed will provide a set of simple life hacks to help every student out there stay awake even during the most boring of lectures.
Drink water
Fill your water bottle up to the brim with nicely cooled water from the water cooler before class, and when you feel your head drooping, take a little sip to freshen yourself up. If you, like me, is a chronic sleeper, you’d drink enough water soon enough to warrant yourself a reason to go to the toilet, which brings us to the next point.
Go to the toilet
Nothing beats taking a walk when it comes to staying awake. Letting your blood flow after sitting down for an hour can be an extremely liberating experience. Furthermore, splash your face with water when in the toilet and do some light stretching, or if you want to, feel free to go full gymnast beast mode. Just make sure the floor isn’t wet and you wouldn’t slip and kill yourself.
Stretch
Stretch stretch stretch! Stiff muscles are extremely uncomfortable and will make you feel like shit. Do some neck rotations and simple arm stretches or go online to look for stretches that can be done sitting down. And make sure to do some leg stretches in between classes or when you go to the toilet!
Pretend to be excited!
Even if you feel like you’re going to drop dead anytime, simply by acting like you are full of energy can make you feel more energetic. Allow yourself to crash after class! Although there is probably another class after class, followed by CCA, followed by tuition, followed by breakfast, then school again…
Eat a sweet
Chewing on a candy can be enough activity to keep your brain functioning. But of course, make the effort to pay attention to the teacher instead of just being awake.
Eat an apple
We don’t know why, but apples have the mysterious ability to really wake a person up. Maybe it’s because of the amount of effort it takes to eat one, maybe it’s the sugar content. However, none of this matters if your teacher don’t allow you to eat an apple in class. We hope you don’t have dick teachers.
Keeping yourself busy
Write notes! Write down whatever you hear from the teacher. It doesn’t have to be neat, it doesn’t have to be legible. You don’t need to keep the notes. Simply the act of writing down can keep you awake as well as help you retain the information better. Killing two birds with one stone!
Engage yourself
There probably going to be practice questions on the notes that your teacher is going through. Attempt them. It’ll both keep you following the class and help you understand the subject faster.
Don’t stay awake for the sake of staying awake
If you resort to doodling on your notes or fidgeting like crazy just to stay awake, you might as well just sleep. You are not paying attention anyway and you might disturb your classmates. Take a short nap in this class and pay attention in the next class.
Drink coffee
Can’t stay awake? Drink coffee lah! Just be prepared to face the consequences when you crash later. But at least you survived class, right? PS: Don’t do this too often or the coffee will just lose its effectiveness and you need to drink more and your life goes into a cycle of caffeine addiction and ruin.
