How can you stay awake in school?

Answer 1

1. Get enough sleep the night before - kids and teens need ten to twelve hours of sleep every night (most of them do not get enough)
2. If you start feeling sleepy, take some deep breaths and get a good rush of oxygen to your brain (this is why you yawn)
3. Between classes, stretch and get some exercise - run up and down the stairs or do jumping jacks or other exercises before you sit down
4. Cut back on the junk food and sugar and sodas (also "energy drinks") because the energy they give you only lasts a few minutes, and then you feel even more tired than before!
5. Caffeine works IF you drink small amounts at one time (eight-ounces, or 250 ml portion) and drink several cups over a few hours - coffee and tea are best because they don't have as much sugar as sodas!
6. In extreme cases, ask your teacher (politely) if you can walk around the room a little bit so you will wake up - don't do this more than once or twice or they will think you're just trying to get out of working
7. sit at the front
8. listen hard to what the teacher is saying
9. Try to ask and answer questions so you'll be more alert.

Here's how:

• Get enough sleep! Kids and teens need 10-12 hours of sleep every night in order to feel alert and smart in school.
• Eat the right foods! Stay away from junk food, because it gives you a "sugar rush" that will wear off after 15-20 minutes and then leave you feeling even more tired than before.
• Stay away from "energy drinks!" First, they wear off after 15-20 minutes and leave you more tired than before -- even the "Five Hour" drinks will "drop" you once they wear off. Second, they have massive amounts of sugar, which is bad for you. Third, they are very hard on the stomach -- I've seen kids who developed ulcers from drinking too many of those things (I work in a pharmacy).
• Exercise! Your body actually feels more alert right after you exercise than it does if you don't exercise at all -- this sounds backwards, but the body needs movement in order to function properly.
• Breathe! Taking deep breaths helps get more oxygen to the brain, and makes you feel more alert -- this is why we yawn.
• Drink a glass of water! I know, it sounds weird, but it does wake you up, especially if it's cold water.
