Staying Awake

[Jordy]

Way too frequently I'm coming to the verge of falling to sleep in lessons, I've virtually ran out of ideas. If I end up doing a boring piece of work or I have to listen to a teacher silently for over 10 minutes I really struggle to stay awake and I temporarily drift off for a few seconds and my handwriting just becomes scribbles on a page. No one has commented yet but I imagine it could be potentially embarrassing falling asleep and I also feel I'm falling a little behind.

I've began having a weetabix breakfast and fruit juice but it hasn't really made that much difference. I've tried going to bed earlier and I can perhaps push this a little further but I was wondering if there was anything else I could do? As soon as I start talking to someone I usually wake up straight away and feel rather positive and 'ready to work'.

Have a coffee or tea before school for the caffein boost and go to bed at a reasonable time so you get 8-9 hours sleep

This happens to me also, if the class is in silence or i'm having a long lecture I usualy find it hard to stay awake :S

i used to have that problem, my cure was red bull haha i know its not that great for you but it perked me up. also are you allowed water in your lessons i used to always carry water with me so i'd be drinking and it makes you more alert also if you need a wee your not gonna be drifting off haha!

Chocolate has a decent amount of caffiene if you dont like Tea or Coffee.
