How Can I Stop Falling Asleep In Class?

  • I'm 16 years old and I can't stay awake for my first block class for the life of me. I fall asleep at about 11:15 and I find it really hard to sleep any time before then. I wake up at about 6:30, so I'm getting almost 9 hours of sleep. I eat a normal sized breakfast with a fresh fruit smoothie, and then go to school. I don't actually feel tired until about half an hour into my first block class. No matter how hard I try I can't win the battle against my sleepiness. It has started affecting my grades and there's nothing I can do about it it seems. I don't want to drink coffee, because it doesn't make me feel good and I don't want to take energy drinks or energy bars either. Is there any way for me to stay awake? I have friends who stay up until 2:00 every morning and they never fall asleep in class. Why is this? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    Change smoothie to tea. It has antioxidants that help you stay up and awake. Try exercising a bit to awaken your self. And try sleeping a bit earlier so you wake up like 10 hours so you have sleep. And about the exercise thing, exercise when you wake up in the morning like stretching or jogging on your place.

it's not you, it's just that your class is boring as crap!

well, do you eat break fest? if you don't then start. or bring a snack to class. that's what I do. I always doze off if I'm hungry. and another thing that helps is being cold. I only fall asleep when I am warm. hope I helped! :)

I have insomnia & fall asleep late. but i don't fall asleep during class hours. here are some tips: --try listening to soft songs while trying to sleep, it'll help you relax your mind. --exercise. --Limit food, liquids, and caffeine for a couple of hours before bed. Your body needs to start resting before it completely relaxes.

maeh :)

you only sleep 6 hours , 45 minutes .

haha i have this problem throughout the whole day when my teachers blabon and on and on and i'm just like DUDE SHUT UP and i fall asleep. hmmm if you really want it to not affect your grades you may just have to start *ew* coffee didn't really answer your question sorry about that :)

hello there ツ

Its hard lol. The answer is to either wake up early and jog a mile or two. Or stop on the way and get a coffee or energy drink. Some people just can't fall asleep sitting up no matter what. they need a bed it just depends on the person.

Make sure your friends have your back and will wake you up. Maybe try sipping cold water to keep you more alert and get engaged in the lesson to help you focus. Good luck. =)

could be the teacher's teaching. I tried getting involved as much as I could. If that didn't work, I brought my mp3 player. Uh, try doodling (i heard it helps your memory)
